Home Alone 2, and it's great.
Anyway, a strum pattern like this works really well,

VERSE
[D]
The cold wind is blowin' and the streets are getting dark
[Bm]
I'm writing you a letter and I don't know where to start
[G]
The bells will be ringing Saint John the Divine
[A]
I get a little lonely every year around this time
[D]
The music plays all night in Little Italy
[Bm]
The lights will be going up on old Rockefella's tree
[G]
People window shopping on Fifth Avenue
[A]
All I want for Christmas is you
CHORUS
[D]
(Tell me) I've got to know
[Bm]
Where do lonely hearts go
[G] [A] [D]
Because nobody ought to be all alone on Christmas
The verse and chorus sections are repeated before the interlude, which is...
INTERLUDE
[G]
I'm all grown up but I'm the same you'll see
[F#]
I'm writing this letter 'cause I still believe
[G]
Dear Santa I've been good this year
[A]
Can't you stay a little while with me right here
Sexy Sax solo over the verse, then back to the chorus.
Easy peasy eh?
