Wells' success in the 1950s and 1960s was so enormous that she still ranks as the sixth most successful female vocalist in the history of the Billboard country charts according to historian Joel Whitburn's book "The Top 40 Country Hits", behind Dolly Parton, Loretta Lynn, Reba McEntire, Tammy Wynette, and Tanya Tucker. Wells was the third country music artist, behind Roy Acuff and Hank Williams, to receive the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 1991 as well as being the seventh woman and first Caucasian woman to receive the honor. In 1976, she was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame.

Vixen and Blitzen and all his reindeer pulling on the reins
Bells are ringing children singing all is merry and bright
Hang your stockings and say your prayers cause Santa Claus comes tonight
Here comes Santa Claus here comes Santa Claus right down Santa Claus Lane
He's got a bag that's filled with toys for boys and girls again
Hear those sleigh bells jingle jangle what a beautiful sight

Santa knows that we're God's children that makes everything right
Fill your hearts with Christmas cheer cause Santa Claus comes tonight
