Years ago I was posting info about holiday specials on my public radio station’s website, and I saw that we were playing something called “The Jethro Tull Holiday Special.” After my initial doubletake and a few jokes along the lines of “how come Emerson, Lake and Palmer don’t get a special too?”, I realized that actually Jethro Tull is a perfect fit for this time of year! The band’s full-on folky Christmas record in the early 2000s includes a re-recording of this track that originally appeared on the “Songs From The Wood” album. A great way to ring in the winter solstice.
