It's "from", not "than".

Some so-called "Christmas" music is rather spurious anyway; I have one double album of supposed "Christmas carols", at least half of which are just generic hymns (e.g. "He Who Would Valiant Be"); one of them ("For All The Saints") is surely specific to All Saints' Day (November 1st), not Christmas. And The Power of Love by Frankie Goes To Hollywood and We Are The Champions by Queen are only associated with Christmas because that's when they were first released; I have The Power of Love on a Halowe'en compilation as well as a Christmas one.
