Name That Tune

Over the weekend Chris ([livejournal.com profile] f__k) and I were listening to Christmas/Holiday music at a local restaurant. As I was pointing out the fact that religious carols are only presented in stores and restaurant as instrumentals, as not to offend those who do not celebrate the same faith, many secular songs are sung unto their hearts content.

As we were discussing this, we started analyzing what each of these songs were really saying. We started to re-state the theme of the song in the most generic way possible. In this, we thought it would be fun to unleash this on the LJ public.

So, presented to you is a list of 15 Christmas/Holiday songs that you can try to decipher and give the proper titles to. I'm holding back the answers, and will give them out in a day or two. I'll announce those who guessed the most correctly. Let's see if we're able to convey the song's general message through just a few words...

You got several wrong, but you got them wrong with STYLE!

Only after submitting my answers did I realize I got #14 wrong. Do-over?

Oh, and I really wanted to answer with snarky puns and the like, but I'm too worn out by the stomach flu.

That was fun, I know I missed one, maybe two.

OK - That was FUN and AMUSING!

Very entertaining, event though I'm sure I missed a few.
It helped me pass the work day a little quicker

Ya know, #12 is one of my faves...and also the only one to make the emotional walls in me crack a bit depending on the rendition.
