Let it snow is one of my favorite Christmas Songs ever. It was Johnny Mathis christmas record that i used to listen to when i was a kid every year. It was a staple in our house. And he did this song. So, the version that were doing, has the sort of slow intro with the strings and then it sort of picks up later on. So i thought, when i was producing this record, i was like, i have to do this version of this song. I think itd be a perfect song for the kids to sing with me. So, were here tonight. Were going to sing it together for the first time. And since we actually recorded it in the studio.
