I don't think this is the best but this reminds me that when I was small at school we did a Christmas concert and I was the drummer boy and had a very similar costume as the kind here. Its more of a memory that a best song for me

One of my favorite Christ-centered Christmas songs is "Mary, Did You Know?" and my favorite interpretation of this song is sung by the a cappella group, Pentatonix. They are so talented and they sing this song beautifully! The music video is beautifully shot as well.

That's a great version of a great song!
I was recently introduced to the Cherry Tree Carol. Have you ever heard of it? It's hundreds of years old so there's several different versions of it but they all build upon the same general theme that's based upon this story the Syrian Christians told the Crusaders that kind of became corrupted in its translation and transmission to Europe. They key verse they all have is about Joseph's reaction when Mary tells him she's with child. Couldn't help but laugh when on Youtube I found a Welsh version that added a verse at the end dissing the calendar change.
