I guess I shouldn't be surprised that The Beach Boys had a Christmas album, but I certainly wasn't expecting it to show up here. The Dido piece is only incidentally about Christmas, and it feels older in terms of topic and style (despite the modern pop arrangement), but I can't really seem to find much more beyond that there was a song by Squeeze that might have been the original.
I had to switch the Squeeze one off after about thirty seconds because the "official video" is so annoying and the sound was so bad. If it's the same song I didn't notice.
