ABC Christmas Challenge - Half-way there hop!

We've arrived at the letter 'M' on the ABC Christmas Challenge this week...and to celebrate reaching the end of the first half of the alphabet...we're having a 'Half-way there hop'! So, to celebrate having a lovely stash of Christmas cards already, as well as a fabulous prize of  a $25 shopping spree at our lovely Lacey's Stamp & Create store, there is some secret candy hidden for entrants to this fortnight's challenge on some of the DT's blogs!

It's Lacey's turn to host the challenge, and her theme is:

'M is for Mistletoe' (or Wine! lol)
(optional extra of sewing/stitching)

For my card, I've used 'Wishes for Kisses' by Penny Black, and mistletoe covered papers from the 'Wonderful Winter' glitter pad by My Mind's Eye. I added some faux stitching using my Cutterbee Bug and a white gel pen.


I'm also entering my card into the following challenges:
Ok...so in order to be in with a chance of winning a secret candy...you need to enter this fortnight's challenge, and answer the questions on each of the DT's blogs, and the ABC Christmas Challenge...we're not telling you where the candy is hidden, so make sure you don't miss anyone out...so if you didn't arrive on my blog from Annie's...you might want to go back to the ABC Christmas Challenge, and start from the beginning.

My question is:
What is your favourite Christmas Carol?

Mine is the 'Shepherd's Pipe Carol' by John Rutter

Please leave your answer in a comment on this post...then hop on over to Jayne's blog for the next question...and a peek at her fabulous card! Don't forget, that in order to be eligible for the candies, you must also enter a project into the 'M is for Mistletoe' challenge...but as our challenges run for two weeks...you've got plenty of time!

    Great card! Adorable image!!
    Hmmm...my favorite Christmas Carol? I really like Christmas music (but only for a short period of time right before Christmas) I love singing Silent Night in church on Christmas Eve, we all get candles and they turn the lights off - my favorite part of it all!
    Thanks for sharing your card!

    Oh so beautiful - love the image and layout just gorgeous.
    My favourite Carol (or one of them) is 'Little Donkey' it brings back memories of many school nativity plays where Mary and Joseph make their way down the aisle and parent and kiddies are so hushed it could be a wedding.
