Your TOTAL SCORE is: 88%. You know your seasonal songs! Treat yourself to an extra slice of fruitcake.
(Actually, I'd rather have another cup of eggnog! The fruitcake works best as a doorstop.)

I got 7 wrong, but I am happy to say that I don't recognise quite a few of the songs quoted.
Perhaps they drowned on the passage across the pond! Well, you can only hope.
Whether you are in season or not,
Seasons Greetings to all.

Kristoff, unfortunately, the major Holidays do not have songs or should I say very few. If you think about it, as you said, there are no New Year's songs save the old warhorse "Auld Lang Sayne." Christmas takes the prize for having the most songs and should I say "catchie melodies."
And to River, I hate to tell you but we don't go one year without the songs. I began hearing the Carols during Halloween week in the past few years and decorations now are stocked in most stores beginning around Labor Day. So basically we only get about 8 months of "peace on earth" before being bombarded again.
