Guess this means I'll have to change the theme of next week's quiz. All the answers would easily be found in this thread.

I've listened to it twice. Nothing about Christmas/December stuck me. Hmmm. Jake, you're gonna really force me to re-listen? lol.

I really like the song "Lovers on Christmas Eve."

I forgot about I LOVE MY WIFE.

Thanks MusicMan for reminding me.

L5Y is set over the course of... 5 years.
At one point in the show, one song takes place at Christmas when Jamie gives Cathy a copy of Backstage and other assorted things.

I'm with Magruder. PROMISES was the first to spring to mind. Aren't many shows -- that are funny -- wherein the leading lady tries to commit suicide on Christmas Eve.

"white christmas anyone???"

Also, Holiday Inn... which I think was the film that actually introduced "White Christmas," as sung by Bing Crosby.

I seem to recall there was a musical version of "The Man to Came to Dinner" called "Sherry." I know the play takes place at Christmas, but I don't know if the musical does.

Doubt this counts, but there are 2 Christmas songs in "Songs for a New World." Other than that, I'm can't think of anything else.
