“Christmas Island” by The Andrews Sisters [1946]

Here’s a fun little tune by the Andrews Sisters about spending Christmas on tropical Christmas Island in the eastern Indian Ocean. With cold weather nowhere in sight in much of the U.S., it almost feels like a tropical Christmas. I’m home in Minnesota and I will only need a sweater on this sunny Christmas Eve day. (This song came back in a big way when Bob Dylan covered it on his infamous Christmas in the Heart in 2009.)

Merry Christmas wherever you are!
