Adopted Christmas songs

Half of these songs are known to be associated with winter rather than Christmas. Completely WP:OR with no sources to back up assertions. JD554 (talk) 13:18, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete The lack of sources means this is pure OR. However, if sources could be found then it may well be worth keeping. Nouse4aname (talk) 14:19, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete It is somewhat noteworthy that "Jingle Bells", which (as the author notes) make no mention of Christmas, is one of the most popular of Christmas songs. However, this is 100% unsourced; this is the type of thing that was clearly put together from a discussion among friends, one of whom may have suggested that Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World" sounds awfully Christmasy (to me, it evokes the scenes of chaos and murder in Good Morning, Vietnam, which revived the song, but whatever).  This probably could be sourced, but you can't just toss out statements like "this is on many Christmas albums" or "this is commonly played during the holidays".   Did Frosty the Snowman mention Christmas?  I can't recall. Mandsford (talk) 22:22, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
