The song was recorded by many long before Elvis and there were numerous versions that hit the music charts.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Christmas_(song)

The song was originally recorded by American country singer, musician and actor Doye O'Dell in 1948 and was popularized the following year in three separate recordings: one by country artist Ernest Tubb, one by musical conductor and arranger Hugo Winterhalter and his orchestra and chorus, and one by bandleader Russ Morgan and his orchestra (the latter featuring lead vocals by Morgan and backing vocals by singers credited as the Morganaires). Tubb's version spent the first week of January 1950 at No. 1 on Billboard magazine's Most-Played Juke Box (Country & Western) Records chart, while Winterhalter's version peaked at No. 9 on Billboard's Records Most Played by Disk Jockeys chart, and Morgan's version reached No. 11 on Billboard's Best-Selling Pop Singles chart. Both Morgan's and Winterhalter's versions featured a shorter pop edit of the original lyrics. Also in 1950, crooner Billy Eckstine recorded his rendition, backed by the orchestra of Russ Case, with these shortened lyrics in a variation close to what is now the common standard for this song; the orchestral backing of this recording has often been wrongly accredited to Winterhalter.

Aggie: Nickname for a marble made out of agate or a glass marble that looks like agate.


Then when I misplace my things (like I always do), everyone on DU can say, "Oh that Aggie lost her marbles again!!!"

DJ Donnie works for Santa at the North Pole in Fred Claus, which has been my favorite Christmas movie for several years.
Funny movie, but still has the standard redemption elements of many Christmas movies.

Fred Claus was a failure at the box office. Very expensive movie that lost money.
But, became highly accepted on cable & streaming.
My wife & I find it charming.
Excellent cast, too.
