    I guess this song has been a Christmas staple in the NYC & Philadelphia areas for decades. I'd never heard it until I'd moved briefly to NJ about 20 years ago. The last few years it seems like this classic is starting to get it's well-deserved recognition in the rest of the country.

It's the Dominick The Donkey guy!' I mean it probably wasn't COMPLETELY random since it was an Italian restaurant 😅 but still I had never heard any other song by Lou Monte before this song so it was still a very pleasant surprise.
