This article would have you believe that no one outside Texas has heard the Charles Brown version of this song. How many of you folks recognize it?
http://929thelake.com/behind-the-hit-please-come-home-for-christmas/ I didn't recognize the name Charles Brown, but I've heard this hundreds of times, and I'm nowhere near Texas. Yes, I hear the Eagles cover also, but not as often. Either way, it's different from the typical Christmas songs and a nice change of pace on the radio. WGN-AM here did an informal listener poll for the most hated Christmas songs. #1 was that Mariah Carey song, #2 was Carol of the Bells (it stresses people out). There's a Stephen Colbert / Henry Rollins punk version of Carol of the Bells: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VhTp22WZm8o Also the classic Ding Fries Are Done: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDbVJvlW-BM
