#25: 2,000 Miles - The Pretenders

We start with a rather unconventional Christmas song.  I love the fade-in on this, and the fact that it's not your typical gifts & trees sort of song.  I've never really been able to figure out exactly what this is about, either, which further adds to why I like it.  I'm leaning toward it being about Santa Claus, but it's so ambiguous in places that it's hard to tell.  Sometime it's fun to just let a song be a song, rather than just over-analyze it.  
The link below is to a video of The Pretenders pretending (Get it?  Yuk yuk yuk) to perform this on Top Of The Pops in 1983.
