“Step Into Christmas,” Elton John, 1973

This wonderfully self-aware tune (the first line is “Welcome to my Christmas song!”) was written and composed by Elton John and Bernie Taupin and would go on to reach #1 on Billboard’s Christmas Singles chart.

TRIVIA: “Step into Christmas” was mixed to imitate Phil Spector’s “wall of sound” technique.
