Everybody in the band gets their own special day in this creative holiday rock arrangement of the familiar tune. The melody gets traded off from section to section in a fairly predictable way until it's the piano players turn. Then things change abruptly and some funky fun begins. This leads up to an open solo section over only 2 chords, and the background parts sound so good you could even omit the solos if desired. A few bars of piano sets up the melody again - this time in a canon - which leads to a big ending. At least 12 days of creativity in one fun and easy to prepare chart!
