While I like Emerson, Lake, and Palmer, I’m not a fan of “Father Christmas.” It’s a cynical tune if you listen to the lyrics.
Yes’ “Run With the Fox” is a tune I like as a Yes tune. But I wouldn’t put it on any Christmas playlist.
However, when the BBC did their radio adaptation of The Lord of the Rings back in 1978 or so, many songs and instrumental pieces were composed for it. One of my favorites is “A Elbereth Gilthoniel.” (Which is played when The Fellowship is staying in Rivendell, IIRC.) It is not in any way a “Christmas” song. However, the music, melody, singing, and sleighbells evoke the spirit and sounds of Christmas-time. I’d put it on any playlist if only to have listeners guess which tune doesn’t really belong.
Stopped by local restaurant to grab lunch. So far:
Do they know it’s Christmas Time - Band Aid
Wonderful Christmas Time – Paul McCartney
All I want for Christmas – Mariah Carey
Santa Baby – Eartha Kitt
