"Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree" Brenda Lee 1958

There are two songs I have to hear before it's officially Christmas - this is one of them. Brenda Lee recorded this at age 13, with the swingin' sax solo from Boots Randolph. Written by Johnny Marks, who also wrote "Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer", "Run Run Rudolph" and "A Holly Jolly Christmas" among others - and he was Jewish! Great songs transcend everything.
