A bluesy Christmas song. I still dig it!
What does the ‘merry’ in ‘Merry Christmas’ mean? Oxford Today
Another favourite.
I once performed a version of this song at a British Embassy Christmas Party. Somewhere I have an out-take of the song which I recorded at the Sun Studio, Memphis. Listening to it again, it's no wonder that it remained "in the can". Maybe I should stick to "Blue Christmas" for a party piece. Or maybe not. Leave them to the King.

High praise for guitarists James Burton and Scotty Moore on other recordings mentioned.
