Hope you enjoyed the Advent Calendar this year! Remember to leave comments on each day to let people know you have visited too.

I have to say, the idea of asking for Christmas Songs was a genius idea, though I say so myself!  It's been so much fun listening to all the songs everyone has shared while I read and comment.  I shouldn't pick a favourite really but I did love the video of the Silent Monks performing the Hallelujah Chorus that Deborah shared on her post.  Here it is again:

    I love Christmas songs (to the point where I will randomly start singing them throughout the year) so I am very much enjoying the calendar this year. I've already found some awesome songs/versions I didn't know before!
