"A Holly Jolly Christmas" is a popular song written by Johnny Marks. Although he was Jewish, he specialized in Christmas songs and wrote many standards including "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer," "I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day," "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree, and "Run Rudolph Run." This song was first recorded by the Quinto Sisters and later by Burl Ives.

  • @enogood why where is he

  • Here's a classic: my all time favorite for that matter. I listen to it every holiday season.

    MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!!

  • @arkady714 -

    He was immensely talented. Great actor and musician. The only contemporary today might be Steve Martin, who is not only a talented actor, but an excellent musician as well.

  • Not only was this man one of the greatest folk singers in history, but he was brilliant in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. Burl Ives was a true national treasure of the United States.

  • I always say it's not officially Christmas until Burl Ives sings Holly Jolly Christmas on the radio! Just heard it the other day! YAY!! =D

  • HO! HO! HO! Great tune

  • What a great song to keep the Christmas Spirit up!

  • Thank you for this. I heard he was Jewish, too. I believe he lived in Queens, NY for a time, and I knew some of his neighbors! Said he was lovely!  Thought the world of him as a neighbor. Thanks for this. Greetings from France, via Ohio and NYC! And a couple of Jewish marriages! xo

  • Merry Christmas!!
