scoff at this statement as you may, but i think that this is one of the best modern Christmas songs to enter the canon of Christmas songs since Vince Guaraldi's "Christmas Time Is Here"

Nooo, cuz it's not a Christmas song. It's just a pop song with Christmas in the lyrics.
"Last Easter, I gave you my heart..."

well, technically, "Jingle Bells" isn't a Christmas song, either....

you are correct, sir.
[Believe it or not Jingle Bells, one of the most famous American Christmas songs, was originally written for Thanksgiving! The author and composer of Jingle Bells was a minister called James Pierpoint who composed the song in 1857 for children celebrating his Boston Sunday School Thanksgiving. The song was so popular that it was repeated at Christmas, and indeed Jingle Bells has been reprised ever since.
The essence of a traditional Christmas is captured in the lyrics of Jingle Bells and the sound effects using the bells have become synonymous with the arrival of Father Christmas or Santa Claus to the delight of children of all ages!]
