Jim D: On the other side of the pond the accordion figures quite high in Xmas music. Here’s only a few links:

For many in Scotland, Xmas and Hogmanay are special times of the year and music is a big part of both.
I like many of those songs too……… sorry if there’s any duplicates (and lack of punctuation).

For those with a different taste the classical, xmas themed works of composers such as Handel, Bach, Mozart, Rossini, Vivaldi, Humperdinck, Corelli, Bizet etc.etc. should not be forgotten either.
As I write I have Handel on in the background ( but he may have to compete with Perry Como later when the wine kicks in).
