This actually is Seger's first shot at a Christmas song before he came forward with a fairly straightforward cover of "The Little Drummer Boy" for A Very Special Christmas. Two years before 1968's "Ramblin' Gamblin' Man" put him on the national charts, Seger did this Mitch Ryder-styled number for the holidays, a real classic stomper. Available sporadically on the odd compilation, most recently the Underground Garage holiday album shown here. Marshall Crenshaw's cover of this is note-perfect, by the way.
