North Central Florida’s holiday music surprise

Turns out, one of the most iconic—and quirky—holiday songs has deep roots right here in North Central Florida! Elmo Shropshire, the voice behind “Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer,” spent his early years in Ocala and Gainesville before making the tune that’s now a Christmas classic. It’s wild to think that a song we all know (and maybe debate about every December) has such a local connection. Does knowing this change how you feel about the song, or is it still just a fun holiday tradition? #Entertainment #NorthCentralFlorida #HolidayMusic
