"And you won't wait for me in some secluded stand of trees some Christmas Eve some god was kind enough to set aside"
I am almost certain that this is a (brilliant) reference to another brilliant song, performed by Iron & Wine and Calexico on their joint album "In the Reins".
The song is "Sixteen Maybe Less" and the line that is most closely referenced is
"My brother told me he saw you there
In the woods one Christmas Eve, waiting."
The plots of these two songs make for a great comparison and contrast.
