9.  Awake and Join the Cheerful Choir
10.  Carol of the Bells
11.  Angels from the Realms of Glory
12.  (a) What Child is This
        (b)  Il est ne le divin enfant
13.  We Need a Little Christmas
14.  O Little Town of Bethlehem
15.  I Saw Three Ships
16.  Good Christian Men Rejoice
17.  (a) Run Run Rudolph (or Run Rudolph Run depending on which album you consult)
        (b)  We Three Kings
        (c)  Nowell, Nowell, Nowell (this is the salutation of Angel Gabriel) - this stumped everyone but I thought it would
18.  Let It Snow
19.  (a) Sing We Nowell
        (b)  Silver Bells
20.  The Boar's Head Carol
21.  I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day
22. Winter Wonderland
23.  O Come All Ye Faithful

This year's players, without whom it wouldn't be nearly as much fun, and to whom many kudos and congratulations all around.  The following people correctly identified one or more songs:   chez_mathilde , pascual_del_mar , oaken_glen , anastasiav , katnboots , lord_strider , svava , beckishadow , valkyrie1972 , evilnicola , staceyspins , artisticphoenix , math5 , vg_ford , staceyspins , msmemory , fencerm2 , moonandtree , bds_duncan , ownedbytwins , rlg , liamstliam , greenness , rocksryan , delabarre , alethea_eastrid , _subdivisions_ , rhiannon14  and probably a few more people playing at home who didn't post.   The best "scores" based on posted answers belong to those who posted 3 right, although I think a lot of you weren't posting once the answer was confirmed.

And now one last offering.  One traditional:

(a)  Then enter'd in those Wise Men three,
        Full reverently upon their knee,
        And offer'd there, in his presence,
        Their gold, and myrrh, and frankincense.

One secular:

(b)  Just a little bobsled we call it old St Nick
       And she'd rock a toboggan with a four-speed stick
       She's candy apple red with a ski for a wheel
       And when Santa gives the gas now just watch her peel

And one from the SCA's period:

(c)  Let no man come into this hall,
      Groom, page nor yet marshall, 
      But that some sport he bring withall,
 

 

 The Answers:  (a) The First Nowell, (b) Little St. Nick, (c) Make We Merry

Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah, and a joyful Yuletide to all!

Close, but not right on the title. Exactly the right song, though.
