Christmas songs whose lyrics never mention the holiday.

Four come to mind:

FROSTY THE SNOWMAN
JINGLE BELLS
A MARSHMALLOW WORLD
WINTER WONDERLAND

Any others?

Joy to the World

Adeste Fidelis - but it's in Latin so who knows? :)

I think that's the title..

"...there'll be scary ghost stories and tales of the glories of Christmases long long ago...."

(But, yes, you do have the title right.)

to wake up my wife and play it for here.
Thank you.

They elected a sphincter with ears....

Twice

... but I think Nation of Assholes is going to be my wakey-wakey music.

takes place on Christmas Eve; others say it takes place on December 26.

It's a feast commemorating St. Stephen.

Unless it's in some obscure, typically unsung verse.

What do I win?

I don't think the word "Christmas" appears in the song.

I don't know what you win, but are you sharing the spoils?

I think that is Christmas free

Don't have all the lyrics playing in my head, but think it might pass on mentioning Christmas by name.

It's implied of course, but the song never says the word Christmas.

don't mention Christmas by name.

Away in a Manger
Silent Night
Angels We Have Heard on High
O Holy Night
The First Noel
Joy to the World


That's a few I can think of right off the bat.

Orignally NOT a Christmas song thankyouverymuch! But the businesses have latched onto it, which pisses me off no end because I actually love that song.

The bastards. They ruined my music box! :(

as a Christmas song for maybe four or five years.

To me, it's a lovely little song sung by Julie Andrews in The Sound Of Music.

"I'll be back on Christmas day"

was "I'll be back again some day" and does not mention Christmas.

This is an actual holiday song by the rap group
Insane Clown Posse

yes, it is a christmas song, believe it or not

Unless "Yule" counts, in which case we have to scratch Deck The Halls off the list too, for saying "Yuletide."

But if we're just going with the actual word "Christmas", then we're good.

I love the Baltimore Consort's version of that on the album "Bright Day Star."


English 19th century, arr. by Watts

Tomorrow shall be my dancing day,
I would my true love did so chance
To see the legend of my play,
And call my true love to my dance.

Chorus:
Sing O my love, O my love, my love, my love
This have I done for my true love.

Then was I born of virgin pure,
Of her I took fleshly substance.
Thus was I knit to man's nature,
To call my true love to my dance.

Chorus

In manger laid and wrapped I was,
So very poor this was my chance,
Betwixt an ox and a silly poor ass,
To call my true love to my dance.

Chorus

Tomorrow shall be my dancing day,
I would my true love did so chance
To see the legend of my play,
And call my true love to my dance.

Chorus
