The album is amazing. My favorite song is "Mary's Boy Child" by Little River Band.

"Oh Holy Night". One of my first memories of that song is hearing one of my friends' dad sing it in church when I was little and it was the most beautiful thing I'd ever heard.

Wow - lovely album! My fav non-religious Christmas song (for fun) is Santa Baby. It always makes me smile, and I always sing along (quite poorly).
I'm a traditionalist as far as religious songs go, so I have to say Oh Holy Night
