This is the song Christmas Time is Here by Vince Guaraldi from A Charlie Brown Christmas. In the cartoon there are a bunch of voices singing it. It can have a very nice christmas jazz feel too it.

This sounds like a difficult song, only because I’ve added a lot of fills and embellishments. I recommend getting the music from “The Easy christmas Fakebook” it will give you the melody and the chords to play the song. (its a big red book).

I’ll be walking through how to play this on my blog as we get closer to christmas! I’m thinking about creating a bunch of christmas lessons, but I’m not sure which songs to do yet. Please post your ideas!

Here are the lyrics:
Christmas time is here
Happiness and cheer
Fun for all that children call
Their favorite time of the year

Snowflakes in the air
Carols everywhere
Olden times and ancient rhymes
Of love and dreams to share

Sleigh bells in the air
Beauty everywhere
Yuletide by the fireside
And joyful memories there

Christmas time is here
We’ll be drawing near
Oh, that we could always see
Such spirit through the year
Oh, that we could always see
Such spirit through the year…
