An often covered R and B Christmas song by Anna Gaye, Anna Gordy, Allen Story and George Gordy, “What Christmas Means to Me” was first recorded by a 17 year old Stevie Wonder in 1967 on Someday at Christmas under the Tamla imprint.  Backed by the The Funk Brothers, this cut has that signature Motown Sound. The lyrics touch on all the things that make Christmas special to the singer while at the same time expressing his love for an unnamed person who he wants to spend a few minutes with under the mistletoe. Of all the versions this still stands as the best and provides a little toe tapping soul to the often over produced R and B Christmas lexicon.
