Why We’re Still ‘Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree’
Well, bless your heart, darlin’, ain’t this somethin’? Little Miss Brenda Lee, the dynamo from Dixie, has gone and made it to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart with her yuletide classic, “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree.” This ain’t her first rodeo, either – good ole Brenda has been spreading Christmas cheer with this catchy tune since Eisenhower was in office, for Pete’s sake!
It’s clear that this little ditty has got more staying power than a fruitcake. We’ve all got to send a big Southern “thank you” to those youngsters on TikTok, who’ve taken Brenda’s song and given it a brand new lease on life. Just goes to show, they aren’t all about them weird dances and comedic pranks.
At 76, Brenda’s showing us all you don’t have to be a spring chicken to make a splash. In fact, she’s proving that talent knows no age, bringing her brand of yuletide charm and cheer straight from the South and onto the airwaves. The way she’s going, I reckon we’ll be hearing Brenda ‘Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree’ come next Christmas and every one after that. Yee-haw to that, honey!
