I read every single one of those Amazon reviews after you told me about it, but I didn't ever actually listen to the song.
"For six hours after the show, our switchboard was jammed with listeners calling in. They were openly weeping on the air, telling their own Christmas stories and what this song meant to them."
lol. This makes me want to become a hermit and move to some isolated area of the world where I can forget about how annoying and stupid I find most people to be. This almost makes me think that I need to bump my music thread on here with a Christmas playlist. If I can come up with enough Christmas songs that I don't hate, that is.
I like that song, but it got old after a while. I especially hate children's choirs in Christmas songs. It's ok if they are professionals (the name escapes me of the famous boys choir) but most children don't know how to sing in tune yet and I frankly don't find it very cute to listen to people sing out of tune. Call me a grinch, but there it is.
What people probably don't know is that it was released the year before (I think) on Christian radio. So by the time it hit mainstream A/C radio I was about sick of it. The same thing happened with the Bob Carlisle song "Butterfly Kisses". I was already sick of it on Christian radio, then A/C picked it up! Argh! To think he used to be a front man for a rock band.
On top of that, my choir did a musical based on the song! We had to watch this woman die twice! lol
But there wasn't a dry eye in the place.

Here here. I sing in a Christmas music/cantata at church every year, but frankly by the time we get to the performance I don't want to hear Christmas music on the radio.
I have a small collection of Christiams CDs, but there's only a handful I really listen to every year.
K104.7 in Charlotte is playing only Christmas music and it annoys the crap out of me. How many times can you play "rockin' around the Christmas tree in one day" for petes sake?
Which is why I now listen to 95.7 which is 60s/70s/80s music.

May I suggest you pick up "Merry Axemas" Volumes 1 and 2. It's a nice collection of Christmas songs with lots of guitar (thus the "Axe"), and virtually no singing.
