Looking for Christmas Carols that don't emphasize Christmas?

My problem is my favourite songs are the really Jesus-y ones. I'm just a recovering Catholic.

Minuit Chrétien (O Holy Night) remains in my top five... and I still love Silent Night, God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, and the like... I suppose the Christian Christmas carols are some of the best...

Something about these statements bother me, but I can't figure out exactly what it is...

Consider that a lot of Christmas carols have secular themes... "Jingle Bell Rock" and "Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree" certainly don't discuss the birth of Jesus... know what I mean?

What about "Here Comes Santa Claus"?

It's about Santa, but it also includes a line that goes something like "Santa knows that we're God's children, that makes everything right".

That's like the third verse or something. No one ever gets that far.

The fourth verse is a treatise on the doctrine of transubstantiation.

Personally, I like "Closer" by Nine Inch Nails.

And to think that you missed your chance to sing it at C&V's wedding.
