Its called The Christmas Song. The most popular version was sung by Nat King Cole.
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire,
Jack Frost nipping on your nose,

What she said!

By the way, have you ever heard (the soundtrack) or seen, "John Denver and the Muppets Christmas Special"? I loved the soundtrack forever.

I also like Amy Grant's original A Christmas Album, especially "Tennessee Christmas." I also like Ricky Skaggs and the Whites' A Skaggs Family Christmas album AND DVD. It is beautiful and brilliantly performed. I also like Vince Gill's Christmas album, especially "Let There Be Peace on Earth."

Also, I like Arthur Fiedler's version of Anderson's "Sleigh Ride" and "A Christmas Festival."

And a few more very special ones:
"Paper Angels" by Jimmy Wayne -- very meaningful tribute to the Angel Tree program, by a former recipient.
"Little Toy Trains" by Roger Miller -- yes the same Roger Miller who did Disney's Robin Hood soundtrack -- a beautiful, simple Christmas song that you will love if you try it.
"Pretty Paper" by Willie Nelson -- really makes you think.

Of course, the best of all is still "Silent Night," best done on a guitar, as it was originally done (when the organ famously was broken on that fateful Christmas Eve service).
