I heard this for the first time this season this morning.

Some multi-kilowatt AM station somewhere out there was playing it.

This is actually one of my favorite holiday songs. I like Leroy Anderson generally.

The royalties from this song alone will ensure that no member of the Anderson family will ever have to go without a yacht.

My family had the tradition of Dad getting up early and putting on a stack of 33 1/3 Christmas albums every Sunday morning in Advent so that we woke up to the sounds of Christmas. That memory always makes me happy.
