Bright Eyes is one of those acts who gets a lot of critical acclaim, but I just don't get at all. To me it's like fingernails on a chalkboard. Which is why I was shocked after listening to this song for the first time to find out it was Bright Eyes. I guess that counts as a Christmas Miracle.
This version by Jim Reeves is the standard. Maybe.
Jim Reeves sort of sounds like a male Patsy Cline. Obviously not vocally but the phrasing and background music. I don't know who wrote this song (well I do now), but the stanza with shoppers and their packages is great modern Christmas imagery. I love it. Interestingly Reeves doesn't sing on that part.
