Post your favorite XMas songs!

Chicago - Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas (Live) - Featuring the soulful delivery of the great Bill Champlin - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YrzCRqiMbb4

The Ventures - Sleigh Ride - An all-time classic. I remember my dad always putting this song on while we opened presents when I was a kid. I remember being amazed at the clean, snappy sound the guy had on his guitar - when I was little I just had a shitty humbucker guitar and a practice amp with really bad distortion! That classic 60s vibrato is great too, haha - hhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPsjRStcKcM

Steve Lukather - Joy to the World (featured on MRCD 6, so buy it!) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKLpANQ9NF0 - Classic Luke

Beach Boys - Little Saint Nick - Another Christmas day classic I remember my dad playing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSynDh_K0EE

Moody Blues - December Snow - A little melancholy, but a GREAT tune (and great album) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6dJO1JWdSI

Tom Petty & The HB - Christmas All Over Again - A classic. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dL9AjrqspB0

Phil Keaggy w/ London Festival Orchestra - The First Noel - Can't find this anywhere on YT - great tune though, wanted to give it a nod. An EXTREMELY underrated guitar player.

Lincoln Brewster - Christmas Sarajevo (2008) - Yeah we've all heard the TSO version a million times. Here's another underrated guitar player and SP FTLOSM alumnus Lincoln Brewster shredding on it. What a guitar sound. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6zQYyGQ0wI

When Family Guy parodies it, yeah - you got yourself some DSB syndrome.

I swear, I laughed through 1/2 the TSO show because they play it twice and all I could think the whole time was "Ding fries are done ding fries are done..."

Oh it's a hell of a song. I've just heard it so much. TSO has a lot of great tunes, it's a shame they don't get recognized for some of the other ones too.

Canon Rock - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45wmyMgyZuY

An Angel Returned - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sO39wNBFfpM (might be better quality ones there) - That lead guitar break would make Neal smile!
