My favorite Christmas Carol has got to be Silent Night, only, not really because it is a Christmas Carol! It happens to be one of the few songs I knew all the words to when my son was an infant. So, it became his lullaby. :)

My favorite is Old Toy Trains by Nana Mouskouri (hope I spelled that right). My mom used to listen to it and it has always been one of my favorites.

My favorite is Oh Holy Night...there are so many beautiful songs to enjoy during this season so it is hard to pick just one. Thanks for sharing I would really love to win this paper and have been looking for it locally!

My favorite Christmas carol is Silent Night because of the meaning behind the song. I also have to say that I love the items you're giving away! Basic Gray is my favorite and I've always wanted to try one of those fun adhesives. Thanks for the chance to win.

I just love hearing walking in a winter wonderland...and the little drummer boy...there are lots of Christmas songs that I love...I could listen to them in the middle of winter...and I do sometimes (but only when I'm alone)...my old boyfriend thought I was crazy which is why I listen to it when I'm alone now..lol
Posted by: Elaine | December 10, 2008 at 02:07 AM
My favourite carol is White Christmas (the movie version) and Little Drummer Boy (Bing Crosby and David Bowie). I guess I love Bing Crosby for Christmas carols! ;)

It looks like I am not alone when I say Silent Night is my very favorite--to me, no other song is quite so perfect for Christmas. It always brings back memories of Christmases when I was a kid.

My favorite is Silent Night and I love the Mannheim Steamroller version. I love all times of Christmas music so it is hard to narrow it to one. I don't have any Basic Grey paper so would love to win to be able to try some!

Thanks for the chance to win all this yumminess!
My favorite song is "White Christmas" sung by Bing Crosby. It just makes me all emotional *sniff* :-)

Really I love all Christmas carols but I think my faves are the fun ones like Rudolph & Frosty.
Great giveaway - thanks for the chance!!
Posted by: Tracey | December 10, 2008 at 06:30 AM
Wow! What a hard question - so difficult to choose because I love ALL Christmas music. I have many favorites but I think Away in a Manger is right up there!!
Posted by: Connie Gregoire | December 10, 2008 at 06:31 AM
I love all the traditional carols but my favorite would be a toss-up between Silent Night and O Holy Night...they both can move me to tears sometimes. Thanks for the chance to win that beautiful candy!!!

My favorite Christmas Carol is Little Drummer Boy. I do love all Christmas music and can hardly wait to start playing it near Christmas!
