One of my favorite Christmas tunes, it's The Pretenders' "2000 Miles", from their underrated 1984 album, "Learning To Crawl". I remember my dad complaining that it wasn't a Christmas song because it wasn't a classic. Umm, dad...WTF are you talking about? I wonder what people thought of, let's say, "Frosty The Snowman" the first time they heard it back in the 50s. They probably thought Gene Autry was smoking crack. Anyways...Listen:
The Pretenders > 2000 Miles

Why in god's name is there a UFO on that cover?!
Good question!
I have to admit to really liking The Pretenders, her voice is great.
Well the singles were great, their filler tracks were usually really weak
Agreed, when they were on, they were really on. I dunno what the deal is with the UFO.
Shit! I forgot that yousendit links expire. Doh. I'm just catching up with the xmo tunes now. I shall endeavor to do them all ASAP.
I didn't like this one. Blah! ;p
You don't know how much I am grateful for this. For years I've been searching this song. Its reminds me of my childhood, when I heard this music.
