Easy! I was a kid lying on the floor taking notes at the time:

All Around My Hat

(as in 'All around my hat/I will wear the green willow/And all around my hat/Dumdumdumdumdumdumdum/And if anyoneshould ask me/The reason why I'm wearing it/It's all for my true love/Who's far, far away' or something like that)

C'mon Gillski, tell me I'm right. Am all ready with spanking new question.

Bollocks, I didn't even read the question. I'm a bit sleepy, thought it was 'their other number one' or something. All Around ain't a Christmas song, it's a spring fertility one. I'm wrong. Bollocks.

Er, did they do Silent Night? Rudolf The Red Nosed Reindeer?

That had 'Otis' written all over it! Never mind, you saw him more recently than I, Blue. Your call, though you could have added middle name Robert for good measure.

Thanks Martin, nice of you to try!

On Bob Dylan's Rolling Thunder Review tour of 1975, Joan Baez sang harmony vocals on many of his new songs from the Desire album. Who ended up singing these harmony vocal lines on the record?

Correct! David Crosby, Roger McGuinn, and Chris Hillman went to see A Hard Day's Night, and McGuinn, who had been playing acoustic 12-string for a while noticed George Harrison's 12-string Rickenbacker and went out the next day and traded in his acoustic for an electric.
