You have to check out Lorene Mann - "Indian Santa Claus." It will change your life! Santa's magic sleigh stops Indians from slaughtering a white settlement out west. You'll thank me one day. Haha!

↳ Song: "Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree" by "Brenda Lee"
This has my least favorite line in all of Xmas music in it, which, not complaining, but is SAYING SOMETHING. "A sentimental feeling"?! That's just a feeling!!!

There's a New Orleans station, 101.9, that plays Christmas music 24/7 from Thanksgiving on. (eyeroll!) Only about a 50-75 song playlist, haha, but one of them is the Brenda Lee "Rockin Around the Christmas Tree." Also big is the Brenda Lee "Papa Noel" ("Down on the Bayou") local-theme Cajun Christmas song.

Seriously, though, Christmas Is Just Another Lonely Day is THE Brenda Lee x-mas track to beat.

This song really doesn't speak well of the other reindeer. I bet Comet was a particular bully.

Someone pointed out that in the classic claymation Rudolph movie, when Rudolph's nose turns red, it makes the most irritating nose - I kind of got where the other reindeer were coming from.

Songs that specifically pre-date constitutional amendments. It's niche, but they're out there.

Lifetime tried to hype one of their seasonal movies as being the first (caveat: of their) x-mas movie(s) with a sex scene...but it's just a real estate lady and a cowboy on hay bails in a barn, barely anything to do with x-mas...call me when you get elves involved.

↳ Becky @8:40
The guy working for a department store in Chicago, maybe Mays, who was assigned to write a Christmas song, looked out at the fog on Lake Michigan and came up with the Rudolph plotline. His bosses thought a red shining nose would scare kids and did not support the song. But it worked out ok. Kids get triumphing over bullying.
