Christmas Is Coming Music by Vince Guaraldi You know this one's from  "A Charlie Brown Christmas" I can never hear this song, or any music from Peanuts, and not think of all the kids dancing while rehearsing their Christmas play. (You know the best dance is the kid with his arms out straight) The way Vince Guaraldi plays translates to guitar really well. That's not always true with a Jazz player
	I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas Words & Music by John Rox This is a nice little song I came across this year. It's from the 50's and was originally sung by a little girl.
	Jingle Bo Diddley Bells Music by James S. Peirpont There is a really cool version of Jingle Bells  by Booker T. & The M.G.'s I wanted to do something similar but not the same. The Bo Diddley rhythm fit perfectly don't you think?
	Five Pound Box Of Money Words & Music by Barker/Bailey I fell in love with this song the first time I heard it. It was written and sung by Pearl Bailey and it's  just wonderful.
	Have You Seen Him Words & Music by Eugene Record/Barbara Acklin This is a remake of the great Chi-lites song of course. The real lyrics were very easy to adapt to a Christmas song. Take a look for yourself on the Lyrics Page
	Feliz Navidad Words & Music by Jose Feliciano I've always like this song even though it's just the same 4 chords and half a dozen words  over and over and over again. I wanted to give it a Mariachi feel and some sort of Latin feel. The only problem was I don't really know any. I do however know La Bamba & Low Rider by War I think  they fit together well. (And don't forget J,P,G & R yea, yea, yea)
	Santa's Gonna Kick Your Butt Words & Music by Trevor Strong/Mike McCormick I heard this on the Dr. Demento show last July. It's by a  Canadian band called "The Arrogant Worms". They're very funny. I took the liberty to change one word in the title to make it a little easier on the little kids. ( I don't want anyone to get into trouble like after that  Navy song a few years back. It's just silly if Santa's gonna  catch your bass. )
