I like the line in that song where he sings, "And my dear, we're still goodbying". I'll waive my disregard of nouns being turned into verbs for the sake of a good song rhyme.
In fact, I like it whenever I hear the word "dear" in a song. "Our dear saviour's birth" in "O Holy Night". Also, when Daniel Cartier says "my dear" in "Auld Lang Syne". :-*

The idea of seeing that one "go" doesn't bother me because I don't feel it's particularly "Christmas-y." It could just as well apply to January or February. Plus, I simply don't like it, even though I recognize that it's a "classic."
Except for the fact that I like them, I could say the same thing about "Sleigh Ride" and "Winter Wonderland." I like them, but I don't think they're particularly "Christmas-y." They could apply to any time in winter.
So, while we're at it, lets ban "Santa, Baby." Good Lord, I hate that song. Eartha Kitt's rendition is a classic of a performance, but talk about glorifying a predatory woman. ...
It doesn't help that I've seen way too many gay male parodies of it.

I like Eartha's version, as well as Madonna's. Taylor Swift's leaves me cold.

Mariah Carey's 'All I Want For Christmas Is You' Hits No. 1 For The First Time Ever
By Marianne Garvey, CNN
Can it ever really be Christmas without Mariah Carey?
The self-proclaimed "Queen of Christmas" has landed the No. 1 spot on the Hot 100 for her famous holiday hit, "All I Want for Christmas Is You." This is the first time the 25-year-old song has hit No. 1. The song's previous record was No. 3 on the chart. Now a holiday classic, the song was first released in 1994 on Carey's "Merry Christmas" album. She was 24 when she recorded it.

Not a gay parody, but we have a male version now.
Crooner Michael Bublé has recorded "Santa Baby", and I believe he only says the title twice. The rest of the times he says "Santa Buddy" or "Santa Paly".
He has changed other lyrics to be more "masculine".....the "'54 Convertible too, light blue" becomes "a '65 convertible too, steel blue", the 'sable' becomes a 'Rolex', and there are other changes.
Eartha Kitt - "Santa Baby, forgot to mention one little thing, a ring. I don't mean on a phone."
Michael Bublé - "Sana Poppy, forgot to mention one little thing, 'cha-ching', no I don't mean as a loan."
You can see his lyrics here.
