25. What is your Favorite Christmas CD of all time. Very difficult to choose but I think I'll say the 2 by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra
1) Do you have one tradition that means the most to you when it comes to celebrating Christmas?
Well ... even though I haven't been in a church in more than 2 years, I would have to say that going to a Christmas Eve candlelight service means the most to me. It always seems warm and loving inside the church at night, listening to the Christmas story and to the pastor's message. There was a big choir and they just sounded beautiful singing the carols. When we turned the lights out and lit the candles, well, it was just so beautiful.
2) Since I’m on a movie kick today – - do you have a favorite holiday movie?
It's a Wonderful Life
3) One of the radio stations in my area seems to be playing “Twelve Days of Christmas” a lot. It feels like once an hour, but I’m sure it isn’t that often. However, that song lingers and is running through my mind which brings us to question three of this weeks “Blogcess”. What’s your favorite holiday song?
My favorite is "Christmas Canon" by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. My favorite fun song is "Dominick the Donkey."
5) Time to spread some “Blogcess” linky love.
