Comment:

The presents start piling up under the tree, and your neighborhood is covered with red and green lights everywhere you look. You don’t want to trot out the same old seasonal standards again — you need a new way to say “happy holidays,” while keeping the party vibe alive. That’s when you need to plug into a Classic Rock Christmas. Whether it’s first-generation rocker Chuck Berry clearing a path for Santa’s sleigh with his mighty axe on “Run Rudolph Run,” or ex-Stray Cat Brian Setzer serving up some seasons greetings with a mighty mix of rockabilly and swing on the wintry weather-watch “Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!” we’ve found more rockin’ ways for you to make merry in the midst of the mistletoe and holly than there are silver hairs in old St. Nick’s beard.
