I had to subdivide these into my own categories:
Favorite Traditional Non-Religious Song:
"Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" by anyone
The line, "Next year all our troubles will be miles away" offers such hope :)
Favorite Non-Traditional, Non-Religious Songs:
"The Hanukkah Song" by Adam Sandlar
This one just cracks me up every time I hear it.
"Mele Kalikimaka" by anyone
I like this because it takes me someplace warm.
Favorite Non-Traditional, Religious Song:
"Mary, Did You Know?" sung by anyone
This has become one of the girls favorites too, but I have to stop them when they start singing it to each other- it becomes rather silly when they respond with, "Yes, I did know" in a falsetto voice. Also, they need to learn the real words because we end up with, "Mary, did you know your son was gonna save us?" and such like that.
Favorite Traditional, Religious Songs:
"O, Holy Night" by anyone, but especially Josh Groban
I love to belt this one out whenever I hear it. Doesn't matter that I can't carry a tune- I just belt it.
"O, Come All Ye Faithful" by any church choir/congregation
For some reason, this song always brings tears to my eyes. During the line, "Sing choirs of angels, sing in jubilation, sing all ye citizens of heaven above" I can always picture my departed grandmothers along with Brett's departed grandmother in robes just belting this song out- kind of the way I do to "O, Holy Night" :)
Anyone care to share theirs?

LOL, one of my little girls was singing "Mary, Did You Know" once, and I heard...
"Mary did you know, that your baaaby, would come out of your tummy?"
