Holiday Music is primarily confined to the Christmas season, at which time classics like "White Christmas" make their annual return to radio playlists and choir songbooks; in the strictest sense, however, it's music typically heard in celebration of a given holiday event, and generally not heard again until that event comes around a year later. Examples include novelty hits like Bobby "Boris" Pickett's "Monster Mash," a staple each Halloween, or even the many patriotic tunes and marches that resurface each Independence Day.
