So it might be a bit early for "Christmas" songs, but this was one of my favorites growing up. Having a brother named Johnny might have factoried in a bit (a lot). As to why this popped into my mind... don't know.
When I was a kid my parents used the term mitten Christmas in the lean years. Dolly calls it a hard candy Christmas.
