Well he did write few Christmas songs, including......
by Shirley
"You make it feel like Christmas"
and
"Santa Santa"
I think he wrote one other one but i can't remember it offhand.
In my opinion, "You make it feel like Christmas" is the best Christmas songs he does.
I amnot a big fan of pop Christmas albums because most church songs are not written for popular singers to perform. I do not like pop (musch less rock or country singers) singing classic Christmas songs like O Holy Night, Silent Night, O Come all Ye Faithful or other such songs. They were not written for that type of voice or instrumentation. Most old standard Christmas songs were written several hundred years ago for choirs and pipe organs in church. That being sid, I do like a few of the songs Neil sings such as:
You Make it feel like Christmas (my favorite)
Jinglebell Rock
Candlelight Carol
and
the jazzed up version (not the classic version)of Joy to the World
