From first hearing in 1971, for decades after, my favourite Christmas song.
One of the few Christmas songs that got played other times of the year, without sounding out of place.
As for the album, Blue, my favourite boss loved Jazz and pretty much nothing else, but he loved that album.
Lastly, in the mid-1970s, when my wife and I got married and merged our record collections, Blue was the only recording (single or album) that we both owned.
