I Believe in Father Christmas
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"I Believe In Father Christmas" is a song by Greg Lake with lyrics by Peter Sinfield. Although it is often categorised as a Christmas song, this was not Lake's intention. Lake claims to have written the song in protest at the commercialisation of Christmas.[1] Sinfield, however, claims that the words are about a loss of innocence and childhood belief.[2]

Captain Starship Christmas from Keith Emerson’s Christmas Album.
Songs he had created and did with friends and family, and finally put them all on an album. This is one of them. I like it because of the kids singing. Lots of fun songs on a youtube search of keith emerson christmas album.
