Easy to dismiss as nothing but an outgrown partyin' frat boy, Luke Bryan stunned quite a few skeptics when he released this single to country radio as the first single to Doin' My Thing.  It worked so well for us that it became our 28th favorite single of '09.

With one little Christmas song, Joey + Rory have showcased, much like they did with their The Life of a Song album, just how much love they share.  It's a Christmas song that deserves the title "instant classic," right along with the traditional holiday standards.
