The song I was going to play, but ran out of time for, was the very sad and lovely X-Mas Song, by Fireflies. Found it via Hits in the Car, where many -- but not all -- of the other songs can also be found. Or you can have the podcast. I tried to refrain from professing my general hatred of Christmas songs, but I may have slipped... I'm fairly fond of these (most of the time), and the Snow Patrol track I really do love -- I think I've listened to it more than any of their other songs.
One other Christmas-y song I love but was unable to play due to its inclusion of words not approved by the FCC, is Hello Saferide's iPod X-Mas. It was released last year, but since neither Razzia (the label) nor Hello Saferide herself have put it up this holiday season, I can't in good conscience give you a link; sorry. I can, however, suggest that a quick trip to elbo.ws might point you in the right direction. And you won't be disappointed, I promise -- this is one that you can listen to all year round.
