I play it every year, but it doesn't get any better
I make the chords up as I go along, as I've never had the music.

Edit,

I'm astonished at the number of people who've shown an interest in this.

Of course everyone will have a different idea of how to play it.

But for what it's worth, these are the settings I used, which I don't think were particularly imaginative.

The style is Christmas Ballad,  "C" variation with intro 2.

Very very good.  I'm going to try that one myself.  Here's hoping!

Thanks for the kind words.

I've used a few jazz chords that I suspect won't be in the sheet music. I guess I was influenced a bit by the Nat Cole version.

I'm thinking of asking my Tyros for some sax lessons, I can't play mine as well as it that!
