You know these songs, which aren't christmas songs, but give you the felling of christmas though?
For me it's Junk Bond Trader by Elliott Smith

and Who is it (Bell Choir Mix) by Björk

Re: Songs that are somehow christmas songs but actually not?
Both very good songs...
but I've never had a song that reminded me of Christmas and wasn't itself a Christmas song, or atleast has been publicly adopted as a Christmas song (of all of the songs out there I can't say for a fact of if they were originally intended as a christmas song... take for instance 12 days of christmas which really has nothing to do with how modern Christian christmas is... but yeah, that's not a topic I feel like delving into. Let alone more moden songs like the little drummer boy, which I believe was written for christmas about 50 years ago, but again don't hold me to that statement).
Anyways, sorrz, nothing in my book.

"I Wanna Be Your Dog" by Iggy Pop & The Stooges has these sleigh bells in it which make it sound like the sleaziest Christmas song there ever was.

If you want to get technical, Jingle Bells makes no mention of Christmas, but that is about the only time of the year that you hear it.

"My Descent Into Madness" by EELS sounds like an xmas song. Don't look for it on youtube, it is not there. The real song, anyhow. It starts with sleighbells.

if I remember correctly, "Junk Bond Trader" has the phrase "happy holidays" in it. Doesn't it? So it's not a stretch that it would remind you.

If I hear another fraking Christmas song.
If each mistake being made is a new one, then progress is being made.
