What makes Christmas Day by Squeeze notable?

'Christmas Day' is notable for being one of the few original Christmas songs released by a prominent rock band during the late 1970s. It has since been recognized for its catchy melody and has received airplay during the holiday season, solidifying Squeeze’s place in the festive music canon. Released in early 1979, 'Christmas Day' came shortly after Squeeze's breakthrough album 'Cool for Cats' (1979). At this point, the band was gaining momentum in the UK music scene, establishing themselves with their distinct new wave sound.
