“Little Saint Nick,” The Beach Boys, 1963

I hail from South Texas, so it is a little bit harder for me to relate to songs about snow and ice and roaring fires.  The only fires I experience in December are those started inside of a barbeque grill.  The Beach Boys set Santa’s reindeer aside in favor of “a little bobsled called Little Saint Nick.”  Appropriately enough, the song’s structure comes from “Little Deuce Coupe.”
