Rock songs that mention Christmas

Well then, I guess The Kinks "Father Christmas" is out.

 

Happy Xmas ( War is over)
That guy in the Beatles

 

I'm confused, did The Waitresses cover Father Christmas by The Kinks? I didn't know that.

 

This song only mentions Christmas in the title, and parenthetically at that!

Nilsson - Remember (Christmas)

 

Thanks for catching my error

 

There are at least a couple more Cure songs:

Other Voices -
"Come around at Christmas
I really have to see you"

Last Dance -
"But Christmas falls late now flatter and colder
And never as bright as when we used to fall"

 

Rolling Stones again - It Won't Take Long.

"It'll all be over by Christmas, and it won't take long."

Guess not.

 

Nick Lowe's Saint Beneath The Paint refers to "rockin' around the Christmas tree" about halfway through this track, which I find appropriate for all seasons.

See also: Freezing. No explicit holiday reference, but a good wintry track nonetheless.

 

If today was Christmas Eve,
if today was Christmas Eve
and tomorrow was Christmas Day
If today was Christmas Eve,
and tomorrow was Christmas Day
Aw, wouldn't we have a time, baby?
All I would need my little sweet rider
just to pass the time away, huh-huh
To pass the time away...

Sure, maybe not a “rock” song, strictly speaking, but c’mon, it’s Robert Johnson!

 

There are not many bands that started in 1967 & still going today. Like any band that has been going that long they have had their ups & downs.
I like almost every album that they have released, obviously some more than others.

It's an utter disgrace that they are not more well known.

 

Van Morrison - “I Wanna Roo You” from Tupelo Honey

“”23rd of December, covered in snow .......snowstorms on the way, we’ll be stranded for a week .........




Any Boxing Day Songs?

 

' Christmas in Prison ' --- John Prine
" It was Christmas in.prison and the food was real good. We had turkey and pistols carved out of wood. "

 

Andrew Peterson's "Behold the Lamb of God". It's a Christmas concept album and he's played at live with Alison Krauss before. I could listen to this thing all year long.

 

Spinal Tap's "Christmas with the Devil". Growing up my little brother used to rock this song all the time.

 

A song (story) of being banged up in jail over Christmas - by the master.

 

Ramones - Danny Says

"It ain't Christmas if there ain't no snow"

 

Kojak Columbo - Nilsson

“Well it’s a little late for Christmas, but have one anyway...”

 

Jeff Beck - Greensleeves

 

Billy Joel's "She's Right On Time"

 

Doesn't "I Wish" also mention Christmas?

 

You got there before me. Should've looked ahead a couple of posts before mentioning this one.

 

Damn... I love Connie! excellent...

 

Does hitching u a reindeer could as mentioning Christmas? If so, Zeppelin's Hot's on for Nowhere:

So I looked round to hitch up the reindeer
Searching hard trying to brighten the day
I turned around to look for the snowman
To my surprise he'd melted away, yeah
