Just like the ones I used to know
Where the tree tops glisten
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
And may all your Christmases be white
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the tree tops glisten
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases
And may all your Christmases
May all your Christmases be white

Josh Groban has the most amazing voice I have ever heard. He is definitely my favorite singer. Just ordered the deluxe Noel Christmas CD. I heard him sing O Holy Night which is my favorite Christmas Song. Never have I ever heard anybody sing the Song the way he sings it. Ultimately a great singer.

This was my Grandma’s favorite Christmas song. Even though she’s been gone for close to 50 years, I still listen to it every Christmas Eve. It brings me back to all the old memories of a happy childhood.

I so need this right now. I'm so down after losing my mom and my dad is depressed. I'm 45 years old and it sends me back to when I was a kid with my entire family around me.
