   Help! Trying to identify an old Christma

   Hi Dejanews fans on alt.music.lyrics!   
      
   I'm trying to find an old song that I heard once on the radio in Toronto back   
   nearly 20 years ago. Unfortunately, any information I might use to identify   
   the track, went with my memory too.    
      
   All I remember with certainty was that it was a cheery, up-beat song that   
   almost sounded like it could have been recorded by Fleetwood Mac, in the style   
   and tempo of a song like Tusk. It was definitely a group song (not quite like   
   "Do They Know It's    
   Christmastime"), and it ended with the music fading but the group still   
   chanting away. In fact, a musical chant is probably the best way to describe   
   the song. It sounded like it would have been recorded in the late 70's or   
   sometime in the early-mid 80's.   
      
   Sadly, this is all I remember of the song: I don't even recall even a bit of   
   the lyrics. It was played on CHFI during their December all-you-can-stomach   
   Christmas playlists.   
      
   Has anyone ever heard of a song like this, specifically a Christmas-themed   
   song? Please help me settle this, it's haunted me for such a long time and all   
   I remember was that I really enjoyed the tune.    
      
   I wish I had written down the name back then!   
      
   Thanks for your help!
