I had started writing a post to link to the (very fun) 2012 Annual Christmas Music Confessional over at a fellow Boston University COM alum’s blog. Late as always, but I finally had a chance to get my opinion of the absolute worst Christmas song off my chest, while also fessing up to the songs I can’t help belting out in the car when no one (save the Hatchlings, poor things) is around.

But then Friday happened and it just didn’t feel right anymore. So I decided to hold on to it for next year.

For now, I’m going to proclaim my favorite Christmas song to be any song my kids sing, no matter how loud or off-key it may be. Because I realize just how lucky I am. To hear them sing. To be with them.
