From "Christmas Cheers" No-5,

It was about 10 years ago, i've known a great male friend, Mr. Li, we were very close family friends since,
Li's birthday falls on Xmas day Dec 25th. we had great times together each year, it was double celebrations, Li' died of illness 2 years ago....Xmas is never like before, Sigh.....

My favorite Xmas Song :

MARY BOY'S CHILD/OH MY LORD - BONEY M

Quote

The reason I chose this song is two-fold...

First, my brother, who just completed his second tour in Iraq, will finally be in the states for the holidays. He will not, however, be able to make it back home with his family due to his military obligations. He will be missed, and we will be thinking of him during this Christmas season.

Second, when my grandmother passed away, it was just a few weeks before Christmas. I was quite close to her, and I think of her often.

Merry Christmas everyone, and Happy New Year too!

Flagging. I have no voice atm, so I'll get mine in as soon as it comes back. lol

The reason this song is so special to me is because when I was 20 years old I lost a daughter two months before christmas and everytime I heard this song over the years it makes me think of her :)

WHITE CHRISTMAS - BING CROSBY

http://www.singsnap.com/snap/r/b6d07840

Quote

After being raised in a loving Christian home I proceeded to live my next 20+ years in the world on my own terms. On Oct.28th
2001 I returned to my roots, rededicated my life and accepted Jesus as my Savior. That following Christmas was like seeing everything through a child's eyes. Watching my children in our Christmas play at church...I can't explain how I felt!
But that Holy night that God presented the world with the most precious gift...His son, is what inspired this song and that's why it is my favorite!!!

O Holy Night

My song choice is I'll be home for Christmas, I have always loved this song, but this year its kinda bitter sweet and I had a tough time singing it, normally all three of my kids are home for the holidays, so I feel HOME IS WHERE THE HEART is....but My oldest daughter Kristina is still in Afghanistan and this Christmas is gonna be tough without her.

Oh Holy Night~Larry Gatlin
http://www.singsnap.com/snap/r/b0112b758

This is going to sound sooooooooo stupid...but the best Christmas EVER was the Christmas my ex left me for his best friends wife! He left us on Christmas day...the reason it was the best ever is because I learned a lot about myself that year...that i was a strong woman...stronger than i ever knew that i was...and God brought me 2 more kids that year...actually it was 5 months before that...but on Christmas Eve the judge said they could stay with me until they got tired of me or they grew up! so...they stayed with me til they grew up i don't talk to one of them anymore her life took a different direction...but i still talk to my stephanie...and she has given me 2 beautiful grandchildren...so when someone asks me how many kids i have i say 8...

being a single parent is a hard thing to do even with the father being somewhat comatose in your children's lives...my children all but 2 are grown now...but would rather spend Christmas at my house because it is a celebration of life NOT GIFTS & how much beer we have!

We our traditions that my new husband has gladly joined with us...we all YES ALL 8 OF US AND THE 2 GRANDKIDS...so that would be 12 of us go and pick out an ornament for our tree every year...seems petty...but the kids are always asking when are we going when are we going??? my 23 year old son drives down here just to do that! now tell me how something so simple can mean so much!?

some fathers and some mothers aren't in their childrens lives...a very sad thing..but for my kids they have been dealing with that their entire lives...for one holiday they are happy! and not because they got gifts...believe me...they don't get that much...because it's not about the gifts...it's about OUR SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST and His birth!!!!

there is no way to cheer someone up during holidays...showing your love for EVERYONE is not just a holiday thing...IT IS AN EVERYDAY thing!!!!!!!!! showing your heart by your actions makes this world a better place...an irish saying...if you can see the heart through the eyes you have found a genuine diamond in the rough!

NOW SORRY FOR THE FACES AT THE END...I LOOK LIKE I AM IN LABOR...lmaooooo

Thanks for passing me thru to Rd. 6, awesome!
Here's my entry
Winter Wonderland
http://www.singnsnap.com/snap/r/b4d823b0
The reason I chose this song is that it reminds me of my carefree childhood in Ohio, playing in the snow! When the only thing we worried about was if our feet or nose got too wet, cold or numb! This song brings back those feelings of Christmas wonder, fantasy of childhood folklore & gets me wishing I could drop back into that just for one day to feel that amazing joyfulness! I now live on the west coast & often times we're heating our pool in the winter months & that still doesn't feel right somehow.
To make Christmas more meaningful, I try to spend time w/ my aging, ill or struggling loved ones & cheer them any way I can to brigthen their days and make them smile!
May you have the Merriest, most blessed Christmas!
Hugs, Stef

here is my song
White Christmas
http://www.singsnap.com/snap/r/b6be5920

Well here is my story, I grew up in New York, Brooklyn to be exact, and everytime I hear this song it reminds me of the city with all the snow falling and all the lights. I did not grow up with Christmas, but I always loved the lights and the music, I didn't start really having Christmas until after I had gotten married, now we celebrate both the Holidays,

Entry to Happy Holidays Contest...Rd 6
Blue Christmas....by Mickey Gilley

http://www.singsnap.com/snap/r/bb11c5a98

This song reminds me (and not to pleasantly) about all t he times my husband was gone and not with me and the kids and alot of that time was the holidays.....but work was work and you had to do what you had to do.....We survived but alot of the time was hard.....trying to raise 4 boys almost by yourself with your companion being sometimes very far away.....I can feel for the people that have loved ones in service.....well anyway....this is the song I picked .......

Christmas Cheers #4

My grandmother passed away 5 years ago, and this was her favorite Christmas song. We were all blessed to be with her when she went home to live with her Savior. It was really difficult to get through, so if there are slip-ups, I apologize, but my entire heart was in this song.

Stopping by and reading some of what everyone is saying... I'd like to say, cowgirlblueeyes, that I agree that this season is not about how much material things we give and/or get. It is, and always will be, about Christ.

Do You Hear What I Hear
http://www.singsnap.com/snap/r/b6ea6b5c

This was actually the 1st carol that I learned...I use to sing it to my family and friends as a gift.... see to me we didn't have much ... my brothers and sisters would make things in my case I would sing carols to everybody...Anyway that's why it's my favorite....

Quote

Quote

GOOD NIGHT YOU ALL SEE YOU IN THE MORNING

Quote

I chose this song because it has long been one of my very favorite traditiional carols.
My Christmas story is kind of a sad one. My daughter and her husband and their daughter have moved to Florida, and there is an estrangement between us. So they won't be coming home for Christmas this year. My two other children and their families will be here, but it just won't be the same without the other one. My heart is broken that they will miss being with the rest of the family on this special holiday. I pray for them every day, hoping that God will change their hearts and nudge them to change their plans. But I do know that HE knows best, so I'm trusting him with the whole situation.
thanks for listening to my story and my song.
God bless you,
Judie

Ok here's my story. I guess i should start by telling you i am from a large family i'm the baby of fifteen kids. As long as i can remember we would all get are best dresses on and off to church we would go mom, dad, and kids. I can remember as a child thinking the minister was never going to end the service lol and as i got older i hated to see it end. Ten years ago my father stood in front of our church and sang this song it would be his last Christmas with us he past away on Oct 5 1998 it was the worst day of my life i didn't think things would ever be the same. But my mother as always held us all together and made Christmas just as special as it always was. We still go to church and i still cry every Christmas eve wishing i could see my daddy one more time but i thank God for all he has given me and the joy i have of having the wonderful family i have.

This isn't my all time favorite song, because I just can't choose, but I LOVE this song!

The best Christmas ever is almost impossible to pick! lol Every year was so awesome, and I just adore my family so it's always wonderful no matter the situation. But the one year that still stands out for me was probably the year I got my very first karaoke machine! lol I seriously screamed and hugged that thing.....ahhhh memories! :) I believe it was 1993? 1994? lol
