Guess that (Christmas) song

[jethrien]

When the song meme went around a few weeks ago, I had the idea of doing the same thing for Christmas songs. And since I consider everything to be fair game for Christmas once Santa passes by in the Thanksgiving parade, it's close enough I can actually do it.

So - guess the song from the given line. I think it's a nice mix of obscure lines from common songs and obvious lines from obscure songs. Unguessed songs will be in bold; answers will be posted in a few days.

1. "Hear the snow crunch, see the kids bunch"
2. "Until then we'll have to muddle through somehow"
3. "Want a plane that loops the loop"
4. "To see if reindeer really know how to fly"
5. "While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains"
6. "Say, what's in this drink?"
7. "And a blue and silver candle that would just have matched the hair in Grandma's wig"
8. "What I want can't be found underneath the Christmas tree"
9. "Put up the tree before my spirit falls again"
10. "And all the world give back the song which now the angels sing"
11. "Later we'll have some pumpkin pie and we'll do some caroling"
12. "And this song of mine in three quarter time"
13. "You'll be doing all right with your Christmas of white"
14. "There'll be scary ghost stories"
15. "They are not just plain deer - they're the fastest deer I know"
16. "The sturdy kind that doesn't mind the snow"
17. "Word of the father, now in flesh appearing"
18. "Mom says the hippo would eat me up, but then Teacher says a hippo is a vegetarian"
19. "Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying, seal'd in the stone-cold tomb"
20. "In ancient times didst give the law in cloud and majesty and awe"
21. "And as I turned to make my way back home, the snow turned into rain"
22. "Ye who now will bless the poor shall yourself find blessing"
23. "Lo, within the manger lies he who built the starry skies"
24. "With a nauseous super "naus"!"
25. "And here is to Dobbin and to his right eye, Pray God send our master a good Christmas pie"

And as a special extra bonus, my nominees for Worst Christmas Songs ever, in order of increasing annoyingness:
W1. "Here we know that Christmas will be green and bright"
W2. "And oh what a joy, shopping all around for every pretty toy"
W3. "The label inside says they're made in Brooklyn"
W4. "For rich and the poor ones the world is so wrong"
W5. "And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight"

OK, I didn't know 2. I was being reminded of a camp song. But since "Gulicking Up" isn't exactly Chrismas-y and there's no way you would know a Biff Fink classic.
