It's Christmas time all over the world, and we're celebrating with great holiday music at an extended afternoon of the Divaville Lounge, Sunday December 16 from 3 to 7 pm. For four full hours we'll hear traditional classics, novel takes on old favorites, and a few obscure Christmas songs which somehow never caught on, and now must be heard to be believed. Step into the Divaville Lounge for a crazy cool holiday afternoon!

There are the classic holiday songs which every vocalist has recorded, and then there are the obscure little songs that were recorded only once or twice, without ever catching on. I love both kinds, but I confess there's something special about discovering a new Christmas song I've never heard before.

This charming ditty was performed by the Bernie Cummins Orchestra, featuring Cummins' brother Walter Cummins on vocals. The rhymes may not be sophisticated, but its cheerful optimism and its early-30s dance orchestra sound make it one of my all time favorite holiday songs.
