Favorite Christmas Songs

OK. So know that I have told you what I believe to be the most Horrible Christmas Songs out there, I now want to share my Favorite Christmas Songs.

10. All I Want for Christmas is You by Mariah Carey. I know some of you are cringing at this overplayed jingle. But this song had memories linked attached to it. I did a dance to this song when I was 15 at our family Christmas party that I still get comments about from my Aunts and Uncles about how fun that was. So... All I want for Christmas is YOOOOOUUU!

9. The Inn Keeper (Let Him In) by Michael McLean- from the Forgotten Carols. I went to see this for the first time with my in-laws. This song is a little slow at first, but tells the story of the birth of Jesus from the Inn keepers perspective. The end of this song gives me chills.

8. Breath of Heaven (Mary's Song) by Amy Grant. I love this song because I always think of what Mary mother of Jesus was thinking and feeling carrying the son of God.

7. Silent Night by Jim Brickman. There is something so pure and reverent about a piano solo (you will see a lot on this list)

6. Carol of the Bells by Michael Crawford. Another piano solo that I love.

5. Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas by Jim Brickman. This song was the first song I put on my Christmas CD that I burned the first year I was in college. It reminds me so much of the beginning of the holiday.

4. Josephs Lullaby by MercyMe. Something about a father singing a song to his baby brings tears to my eyes.

3. Where Are You Christmas? by Faith Hill. A great song from one of my favorite holiday flicks. I never get sick of this song!

2. Oh Christmas Tree from Charlie Brown Christmas. Memories of childhood and also a reverent song.

1. Oh Holy Night by ANYBODY! I really like any one's version, but the piano solo by David Lantz and Josh Groban's versions are my favorite. My Aunt Marcia also plays a killer version on the piano.

OK. I am ready for the Holidays now!
