Hello, everyone. Welcome back to the countdown.

It is time for another his & her take on a holiday tune. Today’s song was published in 1945. Frank Sinatra recorded his version five years later. It reached #45 on the Holiday 100 chart. In 1959, his fellow Rat Pack buddy Dean Martin recorded his cover and it hit #6 on that chart plus it went to #8 on the mainstream Hot 100 singles chart. It appears to be the best selling version of this song. And as of today’s date (12/19/23), 64 years after its initial release, it is at the #10 spot in the country. Just one more reason why Martin was known as The King Of Cool. 

Country star Martina McBride’s version was on her 1998 album, White Christmas. I have always been taken by the beauty and the power of her voice but on today’s song, it is just pure fun. A perfect mood for the season.
