Favorite Christmas song!!!

[aprilmay]

O Holy Night is such a beautiful song and definitely my fav. I'll download like 10 different versions and listen to them all over and over! Avril Lavigne does a good copy with Chantel Kreviazuk! And of course Marina McBride's version is amazing! What a set of lungs she has. So beautiful!

Its not Christmas for me until I hear "Carol of the Bells"...and I haven't heard it yet!!

Madonna's version is a remake, Eartha Kitt (the original Cat Woman on the Batman TV show) did the original in 1953. It's slower and more sultry, but both are pretty good versions. I like how Madonna's is Betty Boop-ish
