Same with 'Stop the cavalry'
It has the 'wish I was at home for xmas' line, but nothing else to suggest that it's a xmas song. Just some bell bollocks.

See also Pipes of Peace, which although the video depicts the 1914 Christmas truce, has no mention of Christmas in the lyrics.
In fact, the Jona Lewie one also has a World War One themed video.
Maybe there is something in that.

1914 was officially the last recorded incident of Germans having fun at Christmas.

They put out shoes instead of stockings, if you can warrant it.
The disappointment of the young German child to wake up on Christmas Day only to find that instead of a shoe full of presents a fucking lion's got in and eaten them must be a terrible thing to witness.
