Persistent (Christmas) earworm alert LXXIX

2004: Sammy under the Christmas tree--a good location for napping and hearing Christmas music over nearby speakers.

If you're going to have a Christmas tune on involuntary repeat mode, Sammy Davis, Jr.'s "Christmas Time All Over The World"  isn't a bad one.  It conveys the universal euphoria that accompanies Christmas so joyfully that I wouldn't mind hearing it several more times today.  Granted, if it were being written today, it would be ill-advised to include the lyric, "Though the customs may change and the language is strange..."  Still, the sincere intent behind wishing everyone nearby and far away a merry Christmas comes through.

Merry Christmas to everyone who celebrates it.
