I love "Mary's Boy Child" by Boney M. It's very rare that I hear it on the radio and I only know a handful of people who know it. I lived in Bermuda as a kid and we obviously had the more traditional songs but this was more of an island vibe.

I'm a fan of Dawn French's version from the first episode of series 2 of French and Saunders. Sadly cant find it without subscribing, but the lyrics are "walking in the air; la la la-la christmas tree; below below below; below below below". My sister and I sing this pretty much every christmas at some point.

[Parade of the Ewoks by John Williams](https://youtu.be/6r2w9ergP1E?si=-u3fvqP0oOLskMQy) (NO, it’s not the Yub Nub Song!) from the Return of the Jedi background score. I snuck it in to the Xmas song mix tape my mom asked me to make. When random guests noticed it, and asked what it was, I said it was called “Parade of Santa’s Elves” by Gustav Holst. No one ever realized it was from a Star Wars movie. Not even my family.

Not "Christmas" songs per se, but the entirety of Windham Hill's Winter Solstice II has been my go-to for decades to break up the (honestly enjoyable) parade of holiday standards, as well as the non-standards mentioned here. Perfectly captures the mood this time of year - subdued, pensive, yearning, hopeful. This track in particular is just sublime.

I don't normally listen to country music, but I got an album a long time ago called [Christmas in the Countryside](https://www.discogs.com/release/11195898-Various-Christmas-In-The-Countryside?srsltid=AfmBOoo5ynBMJFC2eQH_oKqA_5xrImQZHHpPbS8xHjhxBpVTY3cy-qOq), which has some of my favorite Xmas music on it. These tracks may be well-known to county music fans, but I haven't seen any of them anywhere other than this album in the last thirty years, so I'm thinking some of them might just qualify as obscure. My faves on the abum are: * Honky Tony Christmas - Alan Jackson * Swingin' Home for Christmas - The Tractors * Christmas in Dixie - Alabama

[The Christmas Truce by Swedish power rock band Sabaton](https://youtu.be/HPdHkHslFIU?si=Tql1DceYujBypFfn) The music video linked above is like a mini-movie, the production quality of which is top tier. Sabaton’s music and lyrics also recount historical, primarily military or war-based, events - Christmas Truce is about the unofficial truce that took place in several places on the Western Front on Christmas Eve in 1914.
