Funny, I thought it just told a story.

It's picked up by people who think that it is the antithesis of what a traditional Christmas song should sound like.

I understand why it isnt a typical Christmas song but I don't understand why you seem to be claiming to know why people like it, or why this matters.

Have the band stated this? If so then fine, thats the era he's singing about and you are correct. Personally I wasn't aware it had ever been confirmed. Theres just a reference to Sinatra, which doesn't really confirm anything.
For the record, I couldn't care less if you dislike the song. Especially given the way I feel when it comes to Christmas music. I just find your judgement of those who do interesting, as you seemingly are offering explanations as to exactly why they would do such a thing.
I dunno, I just fail to see why it cant be as simple as you either like it or you dont and thats the end of it.
