Or "Xmas" song?
Or holiday song? Or even, I guess, solstice song?

Tom Lehrer's Christmas Carol
This one makes me think of Wally (to the tune of "Walkin' in a Winter Wonderland"):
Walkin' Round in Women's Underwear (Winter Wonderland)
Lacy things -- the wife is missin', Didn't ask for her permission, I'm wearin' her clothes, Her silk pantyhose, Walkin' 'round in women's underwear.
In the store -- there's a teddy, With little straps -- like spaghetti, It holds me so tight, Like handcuffs at night, Walkin' 'round in women's underwear.
In the office there's a guy named Melvin, He pretends that I am Murphy Brown. He'll say, "Are you ready?" I'll say,"Whoa, Man!" "Let's wait until the wife is out of town!"
Later on, if you wanna, We can dress -- like Madonna, Put on some eyeshade, And join the parade, Walkin' 'round in women's underwear!
Lacy things... missin', Didn't ask... permission, Wearin' her clothes, Silk pantyhose, Walkin' 'round in women's underwear, Walkin' 'round in women's underwear, Walkin' 'round in women's underwear!

I kinda like the Boss' "Santa Clause is coming to town".
That Beatles/Wings/Paul McCartney abortion, "Simply having a wonderful Christmas time" makes me want to kick puppies.

My dad got me hooked... I have (and by have, I mean I stole from my dad) five of his albums on Vinyl. Awesome stuff.
He also has a Christmas album that is really good, and really funny. Only 2 traditional Christmas songs too.

Oi to the world! I like the No Doubt version.
Actually, "Christmas Freilach" (probably spelled wrong) was always my favorite, by an Ottawa band called The Angstones. It was a cassette single, and I don't think it ever hit the internets. And I've lost my tape :( But you have to love Frosty the Snowman sung in a phrygian scale.

I never understood why this isn't a Christmas song:
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday, dear Jesus
Happy birthday to you!
Am I going to Hell?

That's a hard question. There are so many. I've always been partial to Bing Crosby crooning / whistling "White Christmas".
Almost as hard to decide would be the worst song. Either "Grandma got run over by a reindeer", or the one where the dogs bark out "Jingle Bells" would certainly be in the running.

'Father Christmas', The Kinks.
'When I was small I believed in santa claus Though I knew it was my dad And I would hang up my stocking at christmas Open my presents and Id be glad
But the last time I played father christmas I stood outside a department store A gang of kids came over and mugged me And knocked my reindeer to the floor
They said: Father christmas, give us some money Dont mess around with those silly toys. Well beat you up if you dont hand it over We want your bread so dont make us annoyed Give all the toys to the little rich boys
Dont give my brother a steve austin outfit Dont give my sister a cuddly toy We dont want a jigsaw or monopoly money We only want the real mccoy
Father christmas, give us some money Well beat you up if you make us annoyed Father christmas, give us some money Dont mess around with those silly toys
But give my daddy a job cause he needs one Hes got lots of mouths to feed But if youve got one, Ill have a machine gun So I can scare all the kids down the street
Father christmas, give us some money We got no time for your silly toys Well beat you up if you dont hand it over Give all the toys to the little rich boys
Have yourself a merry merry christmas Have yourself a good time But remember the kids who got nothin While youre drinkin down your wine
Father christmas, give us some money We got no time for your silly toys Well beat you up if you dont hand it over We want your bread, so dont make us annoyed Give all the toys to the little rich boys.'
