Definitely one of the holiday classics/standards. Little Miss Dynamite's rendition still gets the holiday season rockin'.  |

Not many versions come close to Brenda's version, but I do like LeAnn Rimes'. This is an utter classic!!!

Can't believe more posters haven't shown love for this track. It's the only female holiday tune that gives Mimi's "All I Want..." a run for its money in popularity (it did end up slightly higher in airplay in the last week, per BDS).
It made its chart debut 45 years ago! It charted on the Hot 100 3 times- No. 14 in 1960; No. 50 in 1961; and No. 59 in 1962. Not to mention all its appearances on Hot 100 Recurrent in the last decade+.

Classic! Everytime I hear it I automatically think of mannequins and record players. Haha. "Home Alone."

I was looking to see if there was a thread for this classic song!! I love it!! It's right up there with Nat King Cole "The Christmas Song(Merry Christmas To You)" and Donny Hathaway's "This Christmas" as being one of my fave Christmas songs of all-time. I heard it this morning on the radio and was so inspired. Brenda Lee sounds so soulful singing this song. She has a great voice and I love the "rock 'n roll" sound of it. I'm glad others love it too and made a thread for it.
Is this song on any notable Christmas compilation? I might pick it up this week when I go to the mall for Christmas shopping.

colson, have you picked it up yet?  I'd think it would be on tons of holiday compilations- among recent releases, it's on the first Now That's What I Call Christmas. |

Yeah, I bought 'Now That's What I Call Christmas' vol. 1., mainly b/c it had some other old classics on it that I had never owned, so it was a good deal for me. |

Bump- no matter the mood I'm in, this classic always beings a smile to my face and just evokes a great feeling.
It returns to No. 1 on the 12/18 Holiday Songs chart.

Mediabase's AC Golds top 40 chart now is all holiday music. This is the current No. 1, with 1,057 spins. Titles probably will flip-flop positions regularly throughout the season.

This is such a classic. No one else can touch her version.

^Not even Jessica Simpson? I agree- that's how it is with a lot of the originals, though. The only negative I have for this track is that I wish it was longer- but, just more reason to play it more.  |

At No. 2* on Holiday Songs. and No. 1* on Holiday Airplay.
I wonder if it will return to the Hot 100 this year? No one version is selling all too highly at the moment. If not, there will be opportunities in the future.
A performance from 1984:
I believe there was a more recent one than that, but I can't find it at the moment.

Destined, I'm sure, to be No.2 on Holiday Songs for multiple weeks again this season.  Here's a live performance from 1994: |

I know this is a Christmas classic and all, but I've never cared for it at all. I like the saxophone, but that's about it.
I also had no idea until a couple years ago that she was only 13 when she recorded this.

I still love this song- an d she had quite the voice on her, didn't she?
It's the current Mediabase airplay leader among holiday titles, though the top several are all pretty close.

The Christmas holiday is not complete without this one (same could be said for a number of other songs, too, that is true).

Brenda's vocals is what makes this song IMO. Another Christmas classic.
