Now to give the old spiel. I hate Christmas music. I get it. We have to listen to "Jingle Bells". And yes we do. Thank you Macys. Can't we listen to the good versions of "Jingle Bells" rather than the ear splitting generic and in some cases downright bad versions. Here is the litmus test we all need to follow. If the song would piss you off if it weren't Christmas chances are it's a bad song. If the song came on the radio and you would listen to it in July then it's okay. I'm 24, I'm too young to get the Scrooge hunches and the Scrooge voice so rather than saying Bah Humbug here is my christmas playlist.
Thurl Ravenscroft: You're a Mean One Mr. Grinch
The Ramones: Merry Christmas (I Don't Want to Fight Tonight)
X: Jingle Bells
Blink-182: I won't be home for Christmas
Trans-Siberian Orchestra: Christmas Eve in Sarajevo/ Carol of the Bells
Note: Look just about everything these guys do is awesome. Everytime they do a song it puts all other versions to shame.
Trans-Siberian Orchestra: Mad Russian's Christmas (Based on the Nutcracker)
Run DMC: Christmas in Hollis
I still say Die Hard is the best damn Christmas movie ever made.
Twisted Sister: Come All Ye Faithful
Now, before I tell my kids of Santa I'll regale them with tales of the Krampus. No excuse me while I go watch the Main Man kill Santa. Damn that bunny.
