Carol of the Bells.

The Peanuts Christmas Song (Christmas Time is Here)

Santa Can’t Stay

Snowman

Santa’s Coming for Us

Must Be Santa

(I’m a sucker for holiday music)

Fairytale of New York

Carol of the Bells
Fairytale of New York
A New York City Christmas

What, no Christmas at Ground Zero? Especially the last few years…

Alternately, I’ll go with the SCTV version of the 12 days of Christmas -

Christmastime Is Here
Carol Of The Bells

Making Christmas - from Nightmare Before Christmas

I’m gong to go with “Everywhere It’s Christmas” from The Beatles 1966 fan club flexi disc.

Does Do You Hear What I Hear? count? Because it sounds religious but I think it’s about nuclear war.

White Wine in the Sun.
In fact, The Salvation Army considers it anti-religious and refused to allow it on their charity album so Tim Minchin give the proceeds of song sales during the Christmas season to charity on his own.

Growing up in Los Angeles, the idea of family drinking wine (coolers) in the sun during Christmas gatherings makes perfect sense.

Silver Bells?

Ack, don’t know how I omitted that one.

mmm

Back Door Santa

I voted other, because honestly, this is my favorite.

(It’s the dogs barking “Jingle Bells.”)

These are most of my favorites, but you missed A Holly Jolly Christmas.

I’m guessing that’s a (nuclear war) joke, but if not, the lyrics, while not strictly congruent with King James, are pretty definitely Biblically-derived.
A Child, a Child shivers in the cold
Let us bring Him silver and gold
Let us bring Him silver and gold"

Said the king to the people everywhere:
"Listen to what I say!
Pray for peace, people everywhere!
Listen to what I say!
The Child, the Child, sleeping in the night
He will bring us goodness and light
He will bring us goodness and light"

As for Others: I like Christmas Wrapping and Brave Combo’s Must Be Santa (whose arrangement Bob Dylan borrowed).

The Best on the list:

Santa Baby (the original, by Eartha Kitt)

Missing:

Christmas in Hollis - Run DMC
