Almost being the operative word, and wrong being a more appropriate one, because inosofar as scientific method can be applied to the celebration of the birth of the alleged son of an unprovable deity, then we should take the facts (such as they are) into account.

And the facts are that the celebration known as Christmas lasts from the 25th December (when the alleged Jesus was allegedly born) until 6th January, when the alleged 3 wise men turned up to pay their respects.

So what errant is referring to as the day after Christmas is still actually Christmas.

And even if it weren't, correct me if I'm wrong here, but doesn't the lyric go

"Then you died on the 25th day of December"

How is that after Christmas?

And I wonder what country is it where Christmas music is no longer played after Christmas day? Because I want to move there. They play Christmas music here from about the end of October until the end of January, and I really, really wish they wouldn't.

So therefore, finally, Another Lonely Christmas does count as a Christmas song.

Bah humbug.

wow, what a stretch

it doesn't apply until the day after Christmas, at which Christmas music is no longer played.

where do you live?

Christmas music is played up till New Years

the Cable channel 682 is still playing Christmas music

here WARM 101.3 is playing christmas music till New Years

NorthCoast 105.9 jazz is playing Christmas music

It's still officially christmas season/holiday up till New Years Eve, that's why people traditionally leave their christmas decorations up, and then take them down on New Years day

no offence, but i wouldn't even make it past "last xmas" without vomiting on the curtains and committing hari kari.

i agree ALC is not a christmas song. but you know with so many unrelased, and uncirculating, and many more unrecorded songs... i am sure there are a few

Would you care to enlighten us as to what logic it is that leads you to conclude that a song that quite clearly is about Christmas, is not a Christmas song?

I already did that and you went out of your way to come up with some flimsy excuses to reject the explanation.

Flimsy excuses?

Correct me if I'm misinterpreting here, but your reasoning that it is not a Christmas song is that it doesn't apply until after Christmas, and that Christmas music isn't played after Christmas? Correct?

Firstly, you need to check the lyrics - the song quite clearly applies to Christmas Day.

Secondly, Christmas music is played after Christmas.

Thirdly, because it is a Christian festival we're talking about, and you specified 'after Christmas' I pointed out that Christmas is not just one day, and therefore 'after Christmas' could be interpreted as being any time after 6th January.

Fourthly, I subsequently made it clear that it is the lyrical content (not to mention the name) of the song that leads most of us to conclude that it is a Christmas song.

I hope this makes it abundantly clear that I reject your flimsy reasoning that it is not a Christmas song.

Fifthly, and finally, my question was directed towards OnlyNDaUsa, there is no requirement to reiterate your flawed logic on their behalf.

what kind of idiot would put 'christmas' in the title and then say it's not a christmas song?

course it's a bleedin' christmas song.

Se7en said:

How about 4 The Tears In Your Eyes?

That's an Easter song.

errant said:

You can keep saying it over and over and you're welcome to out talk me on the subject but your explanaion does not apply to the real world.

My explanation that a Christmas song with the word Christmas in its title and written about Christmas is considered by any reasonble person to actually be a Christmas song doesn't apply in the real world?

Ok.

At this point I can only assume that you're just taking the piss.

In any event, it was fun while I had time to waste, but I think I've wasted enough now.

Happy New Year.

Yes, exactly. LAST NIGHT.

Christmas is over.

Frankly, I don't give a shit one way or the other. Someone asked why it might not be considered a Christmas song and I gave a logical explanation.

I consider it a Christmas song myself.

I don't get your 'exactly' point, it's talking about Christmas. Exactly

there is Christmas Day but the 'holiday season' is 12 Days of Christmas extending till January 6th ie feast of the Epiphany, or Feast of the 3 Kings. Latin American and Catholic groups celebrate till this date. I attended a Puerto Rican celebration a few years ago that was surround by this event, where they sang old and new songs 2 traditional instruments with food drink and traditional dancing. Called Parranda

Traditionally most Americans that celebrate view Christmas Eve-New Years Eve as the Christmas / Holiday season. That's why a lot of people leave their decorations up till Dec 31st

People have holiday parties leading up to Christmas and following because it's the Christmas season.

That's definately how we celebrated, Christmas lights/tree stayed on from Christmas Eve till the day after Christmas all night long. My parents(moms family tradition) would put a box out for each of my brothers with fruit nuts and candy. We had Christmas breakfast where chocolate jelly and raisin cakes were allowed to be eaten right along with any meal. the 1 week we could pig out on junk food anytime. Classic christmas music, take a nap right under the tree etc etc

My parents set the bar high. Each of us into our adult hood continue a lot of those tradations and add our own.

Logically it is a Christmas song, just like Eartha Kitts Santa Baby, George Michaels Last Christmas -contemporary christmas songs

And on the soul station:Prince & the Revolution's Another Lonely Christmas was played throught the day

But I leave my stuff up till New Years Eve and take down the next day too

and I put up 2 trees this year lol

I feel like a big kid during Christmas, love to feed people and turn on the fireplace

Prince is neither Catholic nor Latin American, so what is your point?

And as far as Catholics are concerned, I was raised Catholic and Christmas was December 25 and that was it.

Ur just running off at the mouth aren't you? lol

You said Christmas is over, I said it's not,

Christmas Day is the 25th but as I've shown duh that the CHristmas holiday is more than that.

That's 1 reason there is a classic songs called the 12 Days of Christmas,

I posted info that explains further that there is more than just that 1 day,

Anyone do a little history study while see that many cultures that celebrate it, do it as an extended holiday. The Feast of Epiphany is Catholic, just because you didn't celebrate it... an Italian-American woman I work with celebrates till the 6th of Jan
