SW- rather than asking for a tired old carol, what is a Christmas song you enjoy where it's not immediately obvious it's about Christmas?

I started an alternative advent calendar of Christmas songs last year. I don't think I finished it but this was one of my favourites.

Quite honestly it's beautiful @SW-User. Misty and, swirlingly melodic with the majestic nonsensical lyrical sweep by Liz that simply overwhelms me. Forgive my waxing, but it is from a seminal artist of my fave personal genre- and a perfect Christmas song too. Cheers.

It's not a carol but my favorite is: "Christmas at ground zero by Weird Al. I know it obvious what it is but it's not an old carol.

Sleigh bells and a bright optimistic sound with not so optimistic lyrics @zerocool7785. We could be closer to this scenario coming to to fruition this Christmas than we realize.
I loved this as a kid during Christmas midnight Mass. Occasionally we heard Pinkham’s "Christmas Cantata" but it just sounded like medieval church music.

That organ brings the piece to a tear jerking finale @bijouxbroussard. Well played.

Pretty paper

Have you wrapped all your gifts yet @Ragnarock1276. Was wrapping mine the other day trying to think of good songs to listen to whilst doing so. This would've been on repeat. Cheers.

A little Trent Reznor with a shading of Rufus Wainwright in your Christmas stocking @fakable. Thanks.
