Some of you may not be familiar with my recording career.  Back in the late 50’s and early 60’s, I had a very popular string of hits which opened some doors for me to be able to record a few Christmas albums which were also wildly successful.

This led to my highly successful Christmas TV specials.  TV_GuideAHere’s the cover of the TV Guide featuring a great article about yours truly. 

Of course, I still had my beard back then which was scandalous at the time but people didn’t seem to mind.  It certainly didn’t hurt my record sells.

All this is just my way of wishing all my “fans” a very, merry Christmas!
