Have a holly, jolly Christmas
It's the best time of the year
I don't know if there'll be snow
But have a cup of cheer
Have a holly, jolly Christmas
And when you walk down the street
Say hello to friends you know
And everyone you meet
Oh, ho the mistletoe
Hung where you can see
Somebody waits for you
Kiss her once for me
Have a holly, jolly Christmas
And in case you didn't hear
Oh by golly have a holly jolly Christmas
This year

(Have a holly, jolly Christmas
It's the best time of the year)

Have a holly, jolly Christmas
And when you walk down the street
Say hello to friends you know
And everyone you meet
Oh, ho the mistletoe
Hung where you can see
Somebody waits for you
Kiss her once for me
Have a holly, jolly Christmas
And in case you didn't hear
Oh by golly have a holly jolly Christmas
This year

Yep, if someone was to ask me one singer who epitomizes Christmas I would say Burl Ives. He has so many holiday shows from when we were kids. I believe he even did some Easter ones but I really don't see them on TV anymore.

Now this is my kind of Christmas music. :) I would much rather listen to this and other holiday classics like Bing Crosby, Nat King Cole, etc., instead of a lot of the newer stuff that comes out now a days.

No you’re not ! Don’t now why. Usually I hate listening to it when it’s not Christmas season. It just doesn’t fell right, like i’m cheating or something. And holding off listening to it just makes that much more special when it’s that time of the year

But what the hell its cold outside, three in the morning in the midst of quarantine. I’m off in several shots of whiskey having a blast, so why the heck not, right !?

Burl Ives, even his name sounded Christmasy, I have to hear, "Have a Holly Jolly Christmas" at least a hundred times every Christmas, many other singers have recorded the song, but it was America's most beloved balladeer who made it famous and who could really sing it, love the song sung only in the Burl Ives style!
