Michael, I'm pretty sure that one didn't make it to the Top Ten Charts in the 50's?  I don't ever remember hearing it, but my memory is not that great anymore.         
Back in those olden days, there was always a new Christmas song every year that made it to the Hit Parade.   Sometimes it was a ballad like "White Christmas", and other times it was a novelty song like, "All I Want for Christmas is my Two Front Teeth".  Too bad those days are gone forever.   I don't think there have been any new pop Christmas songs written in many years?

Note:   No1 is  "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town" (1934)  That was a good year 

1934 . . . that was a very good year! 

I've always liked - Nat King Cole, singing "The Christmas Song".  This rendition, with lyrics hidden in the pictures,  is so cleverly done that I watched it twice!  So much fun to watch. 

One of my favorite holiday tunes. This was written and originally recorded by Canadian artist Rita MacNiel in 1988. Anne Murray's version was released in 1993. To my knowledge, nobody else has recorded this great tune, though Rita probably isn't that well-known outside of Canada.

Michael - That's a very pretty song!  I'd never heard it before, but hope to hear it again on one of the many Christmas music channels.   
My favorite Anne Murray song, is her big hit "Snowbird".  It was very popular here, and is still played a lot during the Christmas season.  Not really a Christmas song, but it has a Winter theme, so it fits in!

   

Snowbird --- That was popular over this way too - and one that I liked.

I think I have "almost" all of Anne Murray's albums (tapes/CD's).  When we had a lake place, I used to take ALL of them down there with me, and keep her music going the whole time I was down there.

Interestingly enough, Rita MacNeil covered that one, though the only version by her that I can find on YouTube is one she did with the Vancouver Symphony at some point.

Back to the holiday music, here's another great one from Rita MacNeil.

The original melody of "Jingle Bells", courtesy of American folk singer Tom Roush. Also includes all the verses, some of which are rarely heard these days.

Oh, I remember Eubie.

Here is one of my Christmas favorites from when I was young.


And this is downright nostalgic.


Perry Como was my favorite singer when I was all of 10 years old.

A classic novelty song from 1962. Surprisingly this only peaked at #45 on the pop chart, but it didn't hit the charts until mid-December so that likely had an effect on it. Ray later re-recorded the song with new lyrics in 1985 on the album He Thinks He's Ray Stevens. That version became popular when the music video was included on the 1992 VHS Ray Stevens Comedy Video Classics.

Here's one that we all remember!

If Chuck is the leader it must be good.

Guess what it's doing here.

A great Christmas song from the Irish Rovers' 2011 album Merry Merry Time of Year. This was written by Dan Fogelberg and originally recorded by him on the 1999 album The First Christmas Morning

One of the coolest versions of Jingle Bells you'll ever hear 

A fun one from 1967. These guys were clearly having a great time.

I loved to watch them together! Talented and funny.  Great musical entertainment that we'll never see again. 

A fun medley of holiday tunes from Spike Jones. By 1956 he had begun focusing more on serious music (see "Spike Jones and The New Band"). This album includes a ton of music, and still some funny stuff, as evidenced at the end of this medley.

A great mambo rendition of "Rudolph" from 1954 courtesy of prolific bandleader Billy May and company. The vocal effects are done by drummer Alvin Stoller, who was apparently a highly-respected jazz drummer at the time.
