Holiday Gift Guide: Jingle Bell Rock
With the holiday shopping season officially in full swing, we kick off our 2011 gift guide. This year's theme? Beloved jingles and the presents they inspire.
With bee-boppin’ lyrics like “swell time” and “jingle bell swing” it’s no surprise that the iconic—and endlessly covered—ditty, Jingle Bell Rock, was written in the late 1950s. Penned by Bobby Helms, it’s an energetic Christmas tune that encourages all who listen to “pick up your feet” and dance. We drew from his sock-hop-inspired carol to bring you gifts for family and friends who like to mix and a-mingle when the holidays arrive. Now is the right time to rock the night away.

Your article gives me a vivid picture of stuff related to the Christmas. All these things are just great and what's more, I can even feel the festival atmosphere from your words and pictures. Here I would like to say I like the New Gryphon Leopard Coat-- a not so obvious leopard print coat with precision tailoring. It is awesome!
