About the Song
Ah, the scent of pine needles and cinnamon, the twinkle of lights dancing on frost-kissed windows, the joyous carols filling the air – it can only mean one thing: Christmas is here! And what better way to celebrate this magical time than with a song that embodies the season’s pure, unbridled joy? I’m talking, of course, about the immortal “Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree” by the one and only Brenda Lee.
Now, for some of you, this might just be another festive ditty, a catchy tune that gets stuck in your head for days on end. But for those of us who’ve known its infectious energy since childhood, “Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree” is more than just a song. It’s a time machine, a portal that whisks us back to simpler times, to Christmas mornings under twinkling trees, to snowball fights with mitten-clad friends, and cozy nights huddled around fireplaces with mugs of hot cocoa warming our hands.
Brenda Lee, bless her little heart, was just 13 years old when she recorded this holiday classic in 1958. And yet, her voice somehow captured the spirit of Christmas in its purest form. There’s an innocence, a wide-eyed wonder in her delivery that’s utterly contagious. You can practically hear the twinkle bells jingling in her hair, the snowflakes melting on her nose as she sings about “doin’ the jitterbug around the Christmas tree.”
But “Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree” is more than just sugarplums and candy canes. It’s a celebration of togetherness, of family and friends gathered ‘neath the mistletoe, sharing laughter and love while the music plays. It’s a reminder that the true magic of Christmas isn’t found in fancy presents or elaborate decorations, but in the simple act of coming together, of creating memories that will last a lifetime.
So crank up the volume, gather your loved ones, and let Brenda Lee’s joyous voice fill your home. Rock around the Christmas tree, jingle all the way, and let the merriment of this timeless classic wash over you. Because for a few precious moments, as you sing along to this holiday gem, you’ll be transported back to a simpler time, a time when Christmas was pure magic, and all that mattered was the love and laughter shared with those closest to you.
So, go ahead, let “Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree” be your holiday anthem. Sing it at the top of your lungs, dance like nobody’s watching, and embrace the unbridled joy that Brenda Lee so perfectly captured in her little Christmas tune. Merry Christmas, everyone!

Lyrics
Rockin’ around the Christmas tree
At the Christmas party hop
Mistletoe hung where you can see
Every couple tries to stop
Rockin’ around the Christmas tree
Let the Christmas spirit ring
Later we’ll have some pumpkin pie
And we’ll do some caroling
You will get a sentimental feeling when you hear
Voices singing, let’s be jolly
Deck the halls with boughs of holly
Rockin’ around the Christmas tree
Have a happy holiday
Everyone dancin’ merrily
In the new old-fashioned way
You will get a sentimental feeling when you hear
Voices singing, let’s be jolly
Deck the halls with boughs of holly
Rockin’ around the Christmas tree
Have a happy holiday
Everyone dancin’ merrily
In the new old-fashioned way
cuong
