    There are Christmas references but none in the title and the song isn't really celebratory.

    What say you?



    Snowy nights and Christmas lights
    Icy windowpanes
    Make me wish that we could be
    Together again

    And the windy winter avenues
    Just don't seem the same
    And the Christmas carols sound like blues
    But the choir is not to blame

    But it doesn't have to be that way
    What we had should never have ended
    And I'll be dropping by today
    'Cause we could easily get it together tonight
    It's only right

    Crowded stores, the corner Santa Claus
    Tinseled afternoons
    And the sidewalk bands play their songs
    Slightly out of tune

    Down the windy winter avenues
    There walks a lonely man
    And if I told you who he is
    Well, I think you'd understand

    But it doesn't have to be that way
    What we had should never have ended
    And I'll be dropping by today
    'Cause we could easily get it together tonight
    It's only right

    No, it doesn't have to be that way
    What we had should never have ended
    And I'll be dropping by today
    'Cause we could easily get it together tonight
    It's only right

    If Die Hard can be a Christmas movie, then sure!

    I heard the guys on Mike & Mike (ESPN) argue about Die Hard...supposedly, it made the #1 Christmas movie on some list. Unbelievable.
    ...and "Last Christmas" by Wham? C'mon, that's not Christmas!

    It's Jim Croce, who gives a f&$% if it's a Christmas song!? The man was/is one of the best.
