Hi Missy, I have the same problem. Here's what I do. It's a bit of work, but you only have to do it twice a year. :)
After Christmas, I just delete all my christmas music from my itunes library. when you do that, you'll be given a choice whether to send it to the trash or keep it in your iTunes media folder. Choose the latter. Note that you can delete by folder, i.e. artist or album--so you don't have to delete every single song one at a time. then, the following Christmas, just enter Command-O--thanks for that one, Ricardo-- and then you can just import the folders you want back into your itunes library. Like I said, it's a little time consuming, but since I only have to do it once before and once after Christmas, I don't mind so much.
