Well, as the title suggests, what's you favorite Xmas song to play? I had my first band practice in 25 years last night, I had a blast. I found out that the music school I'm taking lessons from is having a Xmas show and my new band is going to play two songs! LOL
Anyway, that and having been walking through some local malls, there blasting out the Xmas music and it got me to thinking;
What's my favorite Xmas tune... and after some thought, Father Xmas by the Kinks stands out in my mind!
What are yours?

| | | | There are so many classics and those of us who are into Christmas (and even some that aren't) probably know them all. Here's a few alternate choices which rank right up there with some of the more traditional choices:
"Some Children See Him"- James Taylor
I'm also big fan of "Wonderful Christmastime" by Paul McCartney and Wings. If you remembered it on the radio back in the late 79', you'll probably more likely to understand. It, to me, is a sentimental choice.
"Silent Night"- Christopher Cross
"Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas"- Chanticleer
