This song is on Dan's 1999 album "First Christmas Morning."

Here is a clip from the recording, with a couple of verses and an instrumental break.   

Here are Dan's notes about this song from his website:

AT CHRISTMAS TIME:
("This is one of mine and the last piece I wrote for the project specifically to use as an opening number. I wanted to write a joyous, rollicking song that employed male and female voices answering each other and had an 1800's feel of repetitive couplets.")

This song is from Dan Fogelberg's album "The First Christmas Morning" and it's a good song for solstice celebration as well as celebrating Christmas. The words are quite simple but the tune and tempo are quite joyous, especially with the instrumentation used on Dan's CD.
