What a great song! I love the Santa version, but I also remember it by a mouse in a red sweater which is awesome too!!! I always feel great after I hear this!!! The lyrics are very good, they make me think about getting that gift you must return because "it's definitely not me" I would use this for the After X-mas commercials! - Merry X-mas!!! Jami
