What's your favorite Christmas song?

This was my favorite Christmas song growing up. It took me a few years to understand what the song meant.

I asked that question on Facebook recently, and it generated quite a few responses. As I'll tell you in my Tuesday column, one of my sentimental faves is "Santa Looked a Lot Like Daddy" by Buck Owens (here it by visiting http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewbk1uHwJSs).

For those who may have missed the Facebook question (and in the very vain hopes that I'll get a little traffic on this dang blog), I'm posing the question anew. For those who need it reiterated, here ya go: What's your favorite Christmas song? Oh, and tell me why, too, please.

Peace, love and fa-la-la-la-la-ing ... XOXO

O Holy Night, because no matter what album it's on or who sings it, it's always beautiful.

Any of the songs from the Charlie Brown Christmas show. As soon as I hear one of them, my mind takes me back to when I was a little girl and Christmas was all about ME! LOL I had a Mamaw too that was an excellent Southern cook. Ahhh what I would give to have a big bite of Mamaw's Divinity. Now THAT is what candy was all about. Of course, there was also chocolate fudge, punkin' bread, and a HUGE box (2 layers no less) of Brach's choclates. You best not get caught stealing from the second layer until all of the first layer was gone! So, when I hear any of those Charlie Brown Christmas songs, my mind goes straight back to Texas and Mamaw's kitchen in about 0.2 seconds. Merry Christmas!

I love all of them, but the one that puts me in the happy Christmas mood is Born in Bethelem performed by The Blind Boys of Alabama. I also love the The Cherry Tree Carol performed by Hose Feliciano. Both are realativily new to me and kind of different from traditional songs.

Perhaps you should ask what our LEAST favorite song is. There are several that hit me like fingernails on a chalkboard.

That's an excellent idea, BeeGee! I'll do that tomorrow ... j.a.w.

I am partial to all religious Christmas music(carols) but my favorite secular Christmas song is "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" from the movie/musical "Meet Me in St. Louis" and written by Broken Arrows own Ralph Blaine.

Living Wright

While other kids were watching "The Smurfs," Scene Writer Jason Ashley Wright was tuned in to "Style with Elsa Klensch." By fourth grade, he knew he wanted to write, and spent almost three years publishing a weekly teen-oriented magazine, Teen-Zine -- circulation: 2. After earning a degree in journalism from the University of Southern Mississippi, he became the medical reporter and teen board coordinator for the Hattiesburg (Miss.) American, a Gannett newspaper. Eight months later, with visions of Elsa dancing in his head, he applied for the fashion writer position at the Tulsa World, where he began working on Aug. 3, 1998. He is now a general assignment reporter for Scene.
