Which Christmas song was banned by the BBC for “too morbid”? Explained

The BBC prohibited the song “I’ll Be Home for Christmas” during World War II due to fears that its nostalgic lyrics might exacerbate homesickness and dampen morale among British troops abroad. Despite its popularity and frequent requests from the public, the emotional depth of the song was deemed unsuitable for wartime radio broadcasts. However, the ban was later lifted, and the song ultimately became a timeless and cherished Christmas classic.
