Download Instrumental   A classic, this one.  It was originally titled “Merry Christmas to You”, which would have worked too.  You could take almost any line out of this beautiful piece and use it as the title.  It was written in 1945 by Mel Torme and Bob Wells – then recorded in ’46 by the Nat King Cole trio (and several more times until Cole got it right in 1961 – full orchestra).  It is the most performed Christmas song of all time – and for good reason. It’s simply a masterpiece – both musically and lyrically.

I do hope everybody has those “chestnuts roasting on an open fire” tonight.  Merry Christmas to all!
