Cash's Christmas songs will remind you of the real meaning of the season,good will towards men.As for the meaning of the song I think he meant it to
have a terrible meaning,I.e;the mother died that night sitting on the floor hallucinating from hunger,cold and despair.The boy woke up in the morning to
his frozen mother and all he saw was the pile of wonderful clothes she wished she could make for him.He may even have dressed up in them before he
laid down beside her and joined her in a place where clothes were unnecessary.Happy Holidays.
