To me, I've Seen All Good People is a Xmas song - I got the Yes Album as a Xmas gift waaaaay back and have since always associated All Good People with Xmas. I guess its the jangly guitar, the jingly percussion, the choral harmonies, and the wintery woodwinds .....it may not technically be a Xmas song, but we've all got something that ain't all that Xmasy that we identify as Xmasy. Plus, I get to pull out one of my favorite Yes albums once a year to highlight the holiday festivities.

^ I disagree if it has good Christmas spirit, and of course good music. Some artists actually like Holiday music & albums associated with it. Ever heard the Beatles 'Christmas Albums' they released to members of their fan club in the early 1960s ? A lot of fun.

Releasing a Christmas song has to be the laziest (and dare I say most cynical) way of selling music.
I am thinking in particular of "Last Christmas" by Wham. This song might just as well be called "Last Easter" or "Last New Year" for all the non-sensical lyrics have to actually do with Christmas. |

A bonus track on the new Strawbs album is a Christmas song titled Christmas Ghosts. It doesn't appear to be on YouTube so I can post a link.

One of the best ever is this 1970 groovin' Japanese carol. Asakawa Maki's "Zenkasha No Christmas" (originally 前科者のクリスマス) - about some criminal spending Christmas in prison I believe. |

Nice and proggy Christmas suite by Collegium Musicum - and definitely better Christmas music than the one I posted last year  :Edited by David_D - December 04 2023 at 15:16 |

 Not sure if it is a UK song that hasn't been played in the US or if I just don't recognize the title. I'll give it a listen shortly to see if it rings any bells.
