Not all of these songs are from the 50’s–for example, “Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer”
Here are some less orthodox Christmas songs:

Several of those aren’t from the 50s, but I do remember a lot of those tunes on vinyl record albums when I was a little whippersnapper.
I remember these tunes from the half dozen radio stations that play them 24/7 since before Halloween. Gaaaaaa! Make it stop!
“You’re a mean one, Mr. Scott.”
Ahhh, nothing like Neil Diamond singing Christmas carols!
Very cool, however Eartha Kitt sang Santa Baby. Cynthia Basinet may have sung a version of it, but if I am not mistaken Eartha sang it first. 🙂
