Re: Any Christmas "standards" written since the 60
Some of thos have to go on the list, Trent. But as someone already mentioned, Chestnuts Roasting...is known as the Christmas Song.And I have to admit I am a little mixed up about the names of a few others. I'm not sure if there are any more dupes. I will update the list again.

Re: Any Christmas "standards" written since the 60
Wow, we forgot Deck The Halls until now. It has to be in the top ten. Little Drummer Boy and Do You Hear What I Hear, are not the same songs are they? Now my head is starting to go Linda Blaire too.There are a few of the following I could not even hum if pressed. But I am sure they are classics anyway, just from the familiarity of their names.1. Jingle Bells2. Hark the Heald Angels3. Joy To The World4. God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen5. It Came Upon A Midnight Clear6. Little Town Of Bethlehem7. Away In A Manger8. Twelve Days Of Christmas9. Silent Night10. Good King Wencelas sp.11. Do You Hear What I Hear12. O Christmas Tree13. Jingle Bell Rock *14. Let It Snow*15. All I Want For Christmas *16. Santa Clause Is Coming To Town *17. Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer *16. Winter Wonderland *19. I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Clause *20. White Christmas *21. Blue Christmas *22. Frosty The Snowman *23. The Christmas Song *24. Felice Navidad *25. Grandma Got Ran Over By A Reindeer *26. Silver Bells *27. It's Beginning To Look A Lot like Christmas *28. Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas *29. Sleigh Ride *30. We Three Kings31. O Holy Night32. O Come Emmanuel33. What Child Is This34. The First Noel35, Little Drummer Boy36. O Come Let Us Adore Him37. Jolly Old Saint Nicholas *38. Here Comes Santa Claus *39. Deck the Halls

Wow, 39! Glad we remembered Deck the Halls...No, the Little Drummer Boy song has the Par-rum-pa-pum-pum in it, and nothing like that in the Do You Hear What I Hear song. Speaking of which, I'm not sure what I'm hearing anymore here. I think I can at least hum most of them, but frankly they are all starting to run together into the same songs... my head is spinning. I think I'm starting on one song and ending up on another... Okay... is "We Wish You A Merry Christmas" in there yet? That would make a perfect 40. Raags
