This whole big band Christmas album is one of my favorites, but I particularly like their take on "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus". Could be a good addition for a more lighthearted chart! https://youtu.be/3tG8yZ4L-QA" target="_blank

Trumpet players might hate me for the suggestion, but what about Christmas Wrapping by The Waitresses?

Although not technically a Christmas Song, I’ve always had a special place in my heart for Dolly’s Hard Candy Christmas.

First, thanks so much for doing this. (Any time you can include baritone or flugelhorn alternative to French Horn would also be great - those Players are so hard to find.)

In terms of release, my group often plays a couple of gigs when Santa arrives, usually mid to late November. This also suggests Here Comes Santa Claus as another tune.

I like all the suggested tunes, especially from hrender and your own Frosty, Jingle Bells, etc.

Thanks again.
