There are Christmas songs that have stood the test of time and we still listen to them today, even though they were written more than a century ago. At times, however, a popular singer will perform one of these Christmas songs and it becomes a part of our holiday tradition that lasts for years and years.
That was the case with Bruce Springsteen, who performed this song live in 1971. Not only did he do a fantastic job of it for the audience back then, he did something that all of us remember every year when we hear it on the radio.
