    Let's see how many I can think of off the top of my head.

    Frosty the Snow Man
    Sleigh Ride
    Winter Wonder Land
    Jingle Bell
    Jingle Bell Rock
    Let It Snow

    That is all that I can think of right now. There are many others that are more secular in nature (I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Clause, Rocking Around the Christmas Tree, etc.) but they still mention things that are connected to Christmas.

    *************
    "surfsister: Since they don't mention Christmas they are WINTER songs."

    True, they would be appropriate for singing all winter long, but the above mentioned songs are generally only sung around Christmas. I don't think that I have ever heard them played by a radio station, on a TV special, sung in concert, etc. after the New Year. Thus they are considered Christmas songs though they don't mention anything connected with Christmas, which is what the question was asking about.

    All the ones about Jesus.

    He was really born in in the middle of September but the Christians pinched the druidic midwinter festival - hence the holly, the ivy and the Christmas tree which all pre-date Christ.

    "Joy to the World" is almost one. It doesn't talk about the birth of Christ, or Christmas; however, it does directly reference Jesus Christ, which is "connected with Christmas." So, this may not count for your suery; nonetheless, it does provide you with a bit of trivia to win friends and influence people.

    Here are the lyrics to "Joy to the World:"

    "Joy to the world, the Lord is come!
    Let earth receive her King;
    Let every heart prepare Him room,
    And heaven and nature sing,
    And heaven and nature sing,
    And heaven, and heaven, and nature sing.


    Joy to the world, the Savior reigns!
    Let men their songs employ;
    While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains
    Repeat the sounding joy,
    Repeat the sounding joy,
    Repeat, repeat, the sounding joy.


    No more let sins and sorrows grow,
    Nor thorns infest the ground;
    He comes to make His blessings flow
    Far as the curse is found,
    Far as the curse is found,
    Far as, far as, the curse is found.


    He rules the world with truth and grace,
    And makes the nations prove
    The glories of His righteousness,
    And wonders of His love,
    And wonders of His love,
    And wonders, wonders, of His love."

    Words: Isaac Watts, 1719
    Music: Lowell Mason, 1848

    Originally named "Antioch," Mason's original score said "from George Frederick Handel."
    The tune is named after the city of Antioch, Syria, where believers were first called "Christians"; (Acts 11:26).

    Mariecke - winter-sleeping...

    Good King Wenceslas looked out
    On the feast of Stephen,
    When the snow lay round about,
    Deep and crisp and even.
    Brightly shown the moon that night,
    Though the frost was cruel,
    When a poor man came in sight,
    Gathering winter fuel.

    Hither, page, and stand by me.
    If thou know it telling:
    Yonder peasant, who is he?
    Where and what his dwelling?
    Sire, he lives a good league hence,
    Underneath the mountain,
    Right against the forest fence
    By Saint Agnes fountain.

    Bring me flesh, and bring me wine.
    Bring me pine logs hither.
    Thou and I will see him dine
    When we bear the thither.
    Page and monarch, forth they went,
    Forth they went together
    Through the rude wind's wild lament
    And the bitter weather.

    Sire, the night is darker now,
    And the wind blows stronger.
    Fails my heart, I know not how.
    I can go no longer.
    Ark my footsteps my good page,
    Tread thou in them boldly:
    Thou shalt find the winter's rage
    Freeze thy blood less coldly.

    In his master's step he trod,
    Where the snow lay dented.
    Heat was in the very sod
    Which the saint had printed.
    Therefore, Christian men, be sure,
    Wealth or rank possessing,
    Ye who now will bless the poor
    Shall yourselves find blessing.

    The answer is the Grinch song. Not only does it not mention Christmas, it does not mention Jesus, Santa Claus, Reindeer, Snow, Holidays, or anything remotely related to the Christmas Holiday.
