Your favourite rock and/or soul one-off CHRISTMAS/HOLIDAY songs?

Strictly speaking this shouldn’t qualify as it’s from a festive album but hey, it’s Christmas and, for my money, this Anthony Hamilton tune is as good a Christmas song as I’ve heard in a long, long time...

 

This indie band I love called Dude York has a Christmas album.
Here is a single from it called Break Up Holiday!

 

Wait -- 5 pages and nobody has mentioned "I Want An Alien for Christmas" by Fountains of Wayne?

 

Can't forget The Beatles Christmas "song"

 

Johnny A does "Sleigh Ride".

 

There's going to be two Fountains Of Wayne songs in this thread...
Even though this song is kind of depressing, I still think of it this time of year.
Fountains Of Wayne-Valley Winter Song

 

Once in Royal David's City stood a lowly cattle shed,
where a mother laid her baby.
You'd do well to remember the things He later said.
When you're stuffing yourselves at the Christmas parties,
you'll laugh when I tell you to take a running jump.
You're missing the point I'm sure does not need making;
that Christmas spirit is not what you drink.
So how can you laugh when your own mother's hungry
and how can you smile when the reasons for smiling are wrong?
And if I messed up your thoughtless pleasures,
remember, if you wish, this is just a Christmas song.
Hey, Santa... pass us that bottle, will you?

 

Forgot about this gem, cruelly unavailable in physical format.

I've always like this one:

 

Bought this a couple of years ago. The very definition of 'not cheap'.

A new (to me) Christmas favorite! Talk about a one-off....

This was a b side sometime in the mid 80s before it made the box.

Mastered by Bob Ludwig; how about that. Already did a needle-drop. Merry Christmas to all!

 

This Christmas

Peace on earth, how is that not Christmas!?

 

Dreams So Real, "Red Lights", great jangly pop

 

Forgot about this long-suppressed McCartney Christmas song:
