Christmas in November

Hey, I'm looking for the words of a song that I heard as a teen in the 1960s. It is a country-western song, and it is about a father singing about his son. The family is celebrating Christmas early, in November, because the son is dying. The other kids in the neighborhood do not understand "and they expect the same, they don't realize that this will be the last one, that our precious baby boy will ever know." I do not know the title nor artist. I've searched in numerous ways with no luck. Perhaps one of you are more adept and can find it for me. I would greatly appreciate it.
