On Dec. 2, CBC held its annual Sounds of the Season charity drive event in Toronto and q host Tom Power was there (festive sweater and all) to talk to Sloan frontman Chris Murphy about Christmas songs and traditions.

Murphy, who was there to perform a Sloan Christmas original called "Kids Come Back Again at Christmas," talked about staying in touch with his family after moving to Toronto from Halifax many years ago. 

"With touring in the band, some years I'd be in Halifax three or four times a year, but now I go back pretty infrequently," Murphy explains. 

Now, Murphy's parents make the trek to Toronto for the holidays, where they continue their tradition of listening to Christmas music of Perry Como.

"Kids Come Back Again at Christmas" is part of a special holiday 7" vinyl single by Sloan, which is currently sold out.
