Trending today: Brenda Lee’s “Rocking Around the Christmas Tree” hits number one on the Billboard charts – thanks to a concerted effort to overtake Mariah Carey. (Various milestones: it’s only the third holiday song to hit number one; recorded 65 years ago, it’s the oldest song to hit number one; and Brenda Lee is also the oldest artist to hit the top spot.)

Also: Aaron and Victor debate the merits of the “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” TV special; and Aaron encourages Victor to talk more, because he gets paid the same no matter how much he actually has to work.
