Here's one I've been working on. The technique of the descending bass is difficult for me for some reason. I also don't get the flair on the A to Asus4 to A "right."

I've always like Christmas for Cowboys by John Denver.

I learned a new one recently . I was handed the song one evening and asked if I could help play and sing it at a funeral a couple of weeks ago.
A pretty neat song.

I enjoy that song too, but a week or so ago I realized it's not really a Christmas song, is it?

You always hear it around Christmas, but unless I'm missing it, there's no mention of anything associated with Christmas anywhere in the lyrics.

You may not be able to find it because the song is actually called "Happy Xmas (war is over)".

There are several versions out on the interwebs. Here is the best one I've found.

Be sure to check out the comments, which contain some useful info on how to play it.

Rather than just link to my favorite Christmas song, I decided to record it and play it for all of you! No Christmas season seems complete unless we sit down and watch the movie White Christmas. Merry Christmas!

Two excellent choices, especially Fairy Tale of NY (it's hilarious). I lived in the UK for a few years and discovered these two, and another of my favorites: "Merry Christmas Everybody" by Slade.

Every year I keep threatening to put together my "ultimate" Christmas playlist but never seem to get around to it. That list would include (incomplete and in no particular order):

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year (Andy Williams)
We Need a Little Christmas (Percy Faith)
White Christmas (Bing Crosby)
Fairy Tale of New York (The Pogues with Kirsy McColl - link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HwHyuraau4Q )
Sleigh Ride (Leroy Anderson's arrangement performed by the Boston Pops)
Little Drummer Boy (Harry Simeone Chorale)
Do You Hear What I Hear ()
Rudolph (Gene Autry - no one else comes close)
Merry Christmas Everybody (Slade)
Christmas is the Time to Say I Love You (Billy Squier)
Holly Jolly Christmas (Burl Ives)
Driving Home for Christmas (Chris Rea)

I'll probably add to this as I think of more, that way I'll be able to find it next year.
