50 DSC: #31 A Song That Signals Christmas Is Nigh

Wow, have I really not done a 50 Day Song Challenge since July?! Well, I'm going to have to fix that...
Is it wrong to have had this song in my head all day? Probably. However, for once I'm going to embrace Christmas early and see if it is as excruciating as I always imagined it to be. I'm not usually one to start listening to Christmas songs in November or anything like that as I generally thought I'd be sick of them by Christmas itself if I did! 
So this year is an experiment to see if that's the case...
Little Saint Nick - The Beach Boys

"Christmas comes this time each year..."!
