Same here, hon.
First Noel is a CLOSE second though.
It Came Upon a Midnight Clear is the third.
BTW -- I have an idea for another poll which lists the more "transitional" (I'll Be Home for Christmas, White Christmas" The Christmas Song) and "Modern" day songs (Jingle Bell Rock, Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree, Christmas In Dixie, etc).

In your next poll, please include my personal fav...Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer!

Case? Even though O' Holy Night is my favorite, the First Noel is right up there.
The most beautiful, purely unforgetable scene I ever watched on TV was a "Christmas Eve special" featuring the Morman Tabernacle Choir (I think) singing that song, back in the 80's.
The choir was all dressed in robes of pure gold and white...there was a starburst of brilliance behind them...like the Star of Bethelam....and thousands of white candles illuminating the whole scene....
I will never forget it.
I get almost teary-eyed thinking about it. It was the closest thing to hearing angels sing that I can imagine....
