Can't get #5 either....hmmmm
These are my guesses:
#1~> Tis the Season to be Jolly, Falalala lalalala
#2~>

#4~> Jingle Bells
#8~> Away in a Manger
#19~> Joy to the World
#22~> I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus
#23~> All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth
Pam- I think you are right about #2. Dh figured that out last night. I think you got 12 too! Why did you say O holy night for 21? (I still can't get that one!)
Rayanne- Check #4 again!
HELP with #5 (My friend will NOT tell me!)
Okay, drum roll please......number five is.....
THE NUTCRACKER SUITE!!!! 
I can't take any credit for this, though. I passed it off to my incredibly smart friend who managed to get all of them, as I knew she would.
OMG! TOTALLY! Thanks!
She also explains number 21--it is a knight full of holes from machine guns, hence 'O Holy Night'.
From the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary:
One entry found for strafe.

AHHH! DH and I were trying to think of someone who was wounded in the legend!
Ok- What about 18? My friend told me I was wrong....

Kate, thanks for the "Nutcracker Suite"---that was driving me crazy. I was thinking "2 shrinks in a flat" and along those lines coming up with euphemisms for psychiatrist and apartment. And, yep that was my rationale for "O Holy Night." I had to go to m-w.com to look up strafe as well---LOL. At least I'll be able to sleep better tonight
Pam- It's been keeping me up, too!
Kate- I have different answers for 7, 16 and 24.
7. Good King Wenceslas
16. The First Noel
24. Silent Night
And what in the world is Carol of the Bells? of Ring the Bells?
Ok- My mom convinced me 7 is Silent Night.... I guess that makes 24 wrong too.
