Thoughts on Christmas Music

I am in a coffee shop that is playing Holiday music. Wanted to give my thoughts on some various songs.
First off, Santa Claus is coming to Town. This is an Omnipotent power that is watching you at all times and acting as both judge and jury. Then the song says to be "good for goodness sake" which is weird because you are being good because of this outside party is watching you. This song is the rantings of a paranoid. 
The First Noel is the best of all Christmas songs but I think I am in a small group that is attached to this song. 
I am cool with Frosty the Snowman. It is as realistic as the story and it is a bit more hopeful. Frosty is OK with going away which is a good message. 

"Frosty the snowman knew
The sun was hot that day,
So he said, "Let's run and
We'll have some fun
Now before I melt away.""
He has accepted his fate and is OK with it and focuses on enjoyment of the present moment.
