I actually tried to stitch something new for the hop, but I also had a last-minute present to finish and then there just wasn't enough time to do both...so here is an ornament I did last year - 'Snow Birds' by Country Cottage Needleworks, from the 2013 Just Cross Stitch Christmas Ornaments Special Issu.
So that is one part of the blog hop done, the other part is talking about our favourite Christmas songs. Man, I love Christmas songs...that makes it reeeeally hard to chose just one! So I'll give you a few runner-ups before I get to the number one.
So, the song that makes me feel the most christmas-y inside is the old German Oh du Fröhliche. It's always the last song we sing in church on Christmas Eve, right before we go home and have food and presents, so ever since I was a child it's just pretty much the song that really start's Christmas for me.
Felix' and mine favourite Christmas album for the last couple of years has been 'A Hollens Family Christmas Album' by Peter Hollens. I love that guy...have you seen/heard his version of Angels from the Realm of Glory? Instant-Goosebumps, and time of year!
But my currently favourite Christmas song is his original December Song. I love the music, the text and most of all the message - let everyday be Christmas!

Thanks for taking part in the Advent Calendar Blog Hop this year. Love your Ornie, it's a classic. For some reason I always think they are seagulls, one with very long legs!
Great music choices too, perfect to round off the Hop.

Happy Christmas! I had not heard that song before but am heading over to iTunes or checking out Amazon for a download. Love the ornament. With three new families in the extended family, I need lots of stitched ornaments now and this one is going on the list.
Snow Birds is very lovely, and so is your Christmas song. Merry Christmas!
