It is so powerful to me, besides O Come, O Come Emmanuel and Carol of the Bells, it is my new favorite.

On the secular side my favorite is probably Silver Bells composed by by Jay Livingston and Ray Evans. It first recorded by Bing Crosby and Carol Richards and released in October 1950. The lyrics describe the holiday in the city. The lyrics take me back to my home town of Logan in the 1960s, when the town was bustling with shoppers during the month of December. As a young girl and later as a teen, I remember the excitment, friendliness, love, and generosity of the people of the area on the streets of Logan. The sound of the Salvation Army bells take me back to that time and feeling every year, as does the song, Silver Bells. I prefer Johnny Mathis singing this sing.

I sing them all year long. At least in my head anyway. I do like Baby It's Cold Outside. The version I like was done by Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gorme. (Since you like James Taylor, he and Natalie Cole sang this together too.) Alexis and I just heard the funniest Christmas song the other day. It was Dominick the Donkey (The Italian Christmas Donkey). You have to listen to it. It is hilarious. I love Christmas songs. I sing them all year long. At least in my head anyway.

He pours his heart into this song and it give me chills every time I listen. You can listen to it here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQDPo32DwbI I truly love anything he sings.
