Christmas songs Dec. 25

It wouldn't be Christmas without Little Boo. Here she's singing "Silent Night, Holy Night":



And it wouldn't be Christmas without The King, either. This is my favorite of his Christmas songs, "Holly Leaves and Christmas Trees", which I understand to be about a homeless person.



Hey, why not two from The King. This is "Santa Bring My Baby Back to Me".



And since we're doing songs from pioneering figures in popular music, here's an unusual one from the Beatles, "Christmas Time Is Here Again". This was the Christmas song they did for their fan club in 1967, in the Magical Mystery Tour days. Julián Ruiz in El Mundo calls it "a little masterpiece" of which versions are still made by others. I find it's one of those songs that unexpectedly sticks in your head.
