favorites

ok, so my last post was centered around a song... and it got me thinking. (see, i told you i was impacted by music!)

when i was a little girl we went to church at grace chapel in skanetlas, ny. every Christmas they had the usual children's performance. you know, the one where one kid got to be mary, one got to be joseph and a bunch of others had to be things like sheep? it was always so much fun. i'm sure i was in it more than once, but i only remember being an angel one year. at the end of the performance our pastor's eldest daughter would sing the gift goes on by sandy patti. all of us kids would gather around her feet on stage and join her in singing the chorus. i can remember it as if it were yesterday. i loved it. she had such a pretty voice and i longed to be her one day, singing the lead with a group of kids at my feet joining me in the chorus. (that little dream didn't take into account that i can't sing and have a pretty terrible voice, but a girl can dream can't she?)

anywho, to date, it is my favorite Christmas song. (second runner up is i believe in santa claus by kenny rogers and dolly parton, if you must know!)

what's your favorite Christmas song?
