a close second is Mary's Song by Amy Grant

 

And I won't make this a "thing" but please try and leave Christ in Christmas. The X-mas thing reminds me of X-men, and doesn't seem to fit the reason for the season. Just one old man's opinion.

Actually, on many of the stained glass windows in European churches, Christ is represented by an "X". I forget the logic for it, but it was legit. Something like the Greek spelling of his name .... I wish I could find that nugget of info in my brain, but it ain't happening.

You are correct, but in modern times it has become a shorthand abbreviation. And IIRC, and this is really fuzzy, I believe the X was designed to hide a person's Christianity to avoid persecution. But again, that was really fuzzy.

That's what I remember being taught in religion class way back when.

Bob & Doug McKenzie: “Twelve Days of Christmas”

Four pounds of back bacon, three French toast, two turtlenecks, and a beer…in a tree.

 

On a serious note, "Christmas Shoes" by Newsong is a pretty good.

 

There's also a song that's done by the Trans-Siberian orchestra that I really like too. I don't know the name of the song but I hear it on the radio all the time.
