CCM: My favorite yuletide tune of yours is called, “Christmas All The Time.” How do you think our world might be different if we carried a little Christmas inside of us all year long?
GO: I think the key to celebrating Christmas well is having a childlike heart … wonder and awe at the story of the baby in a manger, eager anticipation of great things to come, and generous love toward everyone we meet. To possess that childlike heart throughout the year would make us more peaceful and hopeful inwardly, and outwardly much more generous toward our fellow man.

CCM: When I think of the artist that most sound-tracked my holiday experiences growing up, like you, I think of Amy Grant. Since she is currently gracing the cover of this magazine, what is your favorite Amy Grant Christmas tune?
GO: Well, I’ve already mentioned “Tennessee Christmas,” but I love “Breath Of Heaven” equally—another hairbrush karaoke fave! Amy’s voice and lyrics remind me of the vulnerability of the Christmas story. I feel like I know more of the humble, gentle, baby King when I hear her sing about Him.
