Rummaging through my music bookshelf at our place here in OH, I came across a 'Christmas Ukulele Fake Book' containing 412 songs. I had no idea that so many Christmas songs had been written  ??? Despite the name, it contains all scores, not just lead sheets.
 
Maybe this will answer your question......

My wife has collected more than a few Christmas albums.  I have stored most all of them in digital by now and last I looked, there were 48:45 in total.  That caused me to look at the list for repeats.  There were some.  So, I set it as a playlist and deleted the duplicates that I could actually find. that cut the playing time down to a little less than 45 hours.  This is without "Songs of the Season". 

That is a lot.

Looks like the 'million Christmas songs' include a lot of arrangements of the same songs, but it says there are "180,660 unique songs" (still a lot).
