Has anyone got any suggestions for "traditional" songs with a Christmas or Winter theme. They may or may not have a religious theme (like the first three on my list), but not carols.

So far I've got:

Little Donkey
Mary's Boy Child
The Little Drummer Boy
White Christmas
Winter Wonderland

Any others anybody?

I've used Flanders & Swann's Song of the Weather (January brings the snow etc)
The Carol Singers by ???
Tom Lehrer's Christmas Carol

I know sheet music is available for the above, then there are these, for which I doubt sheet music is available:
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas, and All I want for Christmas is a Beatle.

That's just reminded me of another one, thank you - Let it snow, Let it snow, Let it snow

I saw Mummy kissing Santa Claus
All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth

silver bells

Wonderful Christmas time (Paul McCartney)
Rocking around the Xmas tree

Santa Baby!
I wish it could be Christmas every day
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Jingle bells
Rudolf the red nosed reindeer
The twelve days of Christmas

Saaaaaan-ta Claus is coming to town (esp in the Springsteen version)
Sleigh Ride
Rocking around the Christmas Tree

Merry Xmas war is over (we've got the music for this Flute)
Rockin' around the Christmas Tree
Blue Christmas
Walking in the Air
Mistletoe and wine


Apologies if these have already been mentioned.

Winter's Tale: David Essex

The nights are colder now.
maybe I should close the door,
And anyway the snow has
covered all your footsteps
And I can follow you no more.
The fire still burns at night,
my memories are warm and clear;
but everybody knows
it's hard to be alone at this time of year.
It was only a winter's tale,
Just another winter's tale,
And why should the world take notice
of one more love that's failed?
It's a love that can never be
though it meant a lot to you and me;
on a world~wide scale
we're just another winter's tale
While I stand alone
A bell is ringing far away
I wonder if you hear,
I wonder if you're listening
I wonder where you are today.
Good luck! I wish you well,
and for all that wishes may be worth;
I hope that love and strength
are with you for the length
of your time on earth.
It was only a winter's tale,
Just another winter's tale,
And why should the world take notice
of one more love that's failed?
It's a love that can never be
though it meant a lot to you and me;
on a world~wide scale
we're just another winter's tale.
It was only a winter's tale,
Just another winter's tale,
And why should the world take notice
of one more love that's failed?
It's a love that can never be
though it meant a lot to you and me;
on a world~wide scale
we're just another winter's tale.

Also

O Holy night
The First Christmas
Madonna and child
How soft upon the evening air
Scarlet ribbons
When a child is born
When Santa got stuck up the chimney
As Joseph was a-walking
The most wonderful birthday of all
It's gonna be a cold, cold Christmas
The First mercy
I wonder as I wander
The Star of Bethlehem
Star Candles
What Christmas means to me
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Baby it's cold outside

Careful JohnS, you are breaking copyright law by reproducing those lyrics verbatim - probably.

John Rutter's Where Icicles Hang is a short cycle of choral pieces which are seasonal but not Christmassy...

There are loads of good ideas here, so now I know what to search for sheet music-wise. Thank you for all the suggestions everybody.

*runs screaming*

Sorry, worked too long in retail. Same album playing all these typical Christmas songs on a two hour loop, though 8 hour shifts, day in day out...

Deck the hall (with boughs of Holly)

-in the bleak midwinter
-the christmas song (chestnuts roasting..)
-i'll be home for christmas
-the christmas tree
-gesu bambino
-have yourself a merry little christmas
-i wonder as i wander

When a child is Born
White Christmas
Mary's Boy Child
Dare I say it... Jingle Bell Rock
O Holy Night
Walking in the Air
Baby it's Cold Outside
Frosty the Snowman
Rudolf the Rednose Reindeer
So this is Christmas -War is Over
A Spaceman went Travelling
Mad World

The Mistletoe Bough

in the bleak mid winter - nevermind its been said!

*cries in the corner*

Thank you for all these extra ideas - I've added them to my list!

Just in case I can persuade you to abandon good taste....Six White Boomers, or my kids' preference, Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer!

They sound like good fun I'll have to ask Addy if she knows them and if she'll teach them to me
