I agree, "My Favorite Things" would have been a great addition to the side, so as to spotlight the Christmas album but with a song that can actually be enjoyed year round.
Come to think of it, when did "My Favorite Things" became a Christmas song? It's from "The Sound of Music" and didn't take place during Christmas, but [[at least in the movie) during a thunderstorm. I think in the Broadway version, it was, interestingly, sung by the future Maria von Trapp and the Mother Superior!
