Red West was a highschool friend of Elvis's who went on to become one of the most (in)famous members of the so-called Memphis Mafia, the group of friends and hangers-on who accompanied Elvis everywhere. The infamy came because of somewhat excessive bodyguarding activities and, in 1977, his participation in the book, "Elvis, What Happened?" But West was something of a songwriter, too, and he provided Elvis with several half-decent numbers, including this one. He wrote "If Every Day Was Like Christmas" in 1965 and recorded his own version on the Brent label, which was his own label, named after his son. Although the writing credits on the label show Red West's own name, the artist is shown as Bobby West. 2,000 copies were pressed and sold locally in the Memphis area around Christmas 1965.

Elvis made this my very favorite Christmas song. Red West did a great job on it too. Love listening to this song.
