Holly Leaves and Christmas Trees - Elvis Presley

Elvis cut several original holiday songs. The **Glen Spreen** and **Red West** ballad is an honest look at the downside of the Christmas holiday, and Elvis nails the deep sadness that underpins such a feeling. Presley sings it with deep feeling, and it's clear his empathy is personal.
