my favorite Christmas songs
Just like trying to narrow the list of amazing Christmas movies down to one, I couldn't pick just one favorite Christmas song! I think I have a different favorite song each week of December! As Christmas gets closer, though, I'm always most drawn to traditional hymns and songs that remind me of the true meaning of Christmas.
Oh, Holy Night
One of my all-time favorites is "Oh, Holy Night," and yes NSYNCs version is still my ultimate fave (I love Christina Aguilera's version too!).
O Come, O Come Emmanuel
I fell in love with this hymn the first time I heard it, sung by my friends' choir, Jubilate, in the Gothic chapel at UVa. The lights were dimmed and there were candles in the windows, and it was the perfect atmosphere for this song.
Breath of Heaven
I heard this song for the first time at the school where I teach, in a winter choir concert. Hearing this Amy Grant song, which tells the Christmas story from Mary's point of view, sung by a teenage girl (like Mary herself was) was really breathtaking.
