From LoveToKnow Music

Set the festive tone at your next Christmas party with a "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" MP3.

This is just one CD that features the Christmas classic.

The Song

The premise of the song is fairly simple; it describes a "rocking" Christmas party. While the lyrics do mention the partygoers getting sentimental about some of the traditional trappings of Christmas, the focus is on having fun – dancing and trying to spend some time under the mistletoe with a loved one.

With so much staid Christmas music on the airwaves, many listeners are drawn to "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" by its upbeat music. The song's jazzy sound makes it one of the few Christmas songs you can actually dance to.

"Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" found a new audience when it was featured in the movie Home Alone. As part of the main character's ploy to make robbers think his house was occupied, cardboard silhouettes "dance" to the song as Christmas lights twinkle, proving anyone can get caught up in its infectious beat.
