Actually, [A Change At Christmas](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwVOrBDpXAE) by The Flaming Lips should be in there too because it’s such a lovely hopeful song.

I love this, and the cover picture with Mark E. Smith leering sardonically is perfect. This one is going on the playlist.

My two favorite Xmas albums are Bruce Cockburn; **Christmas** and Jorma Kaukonen; **Christmas.**
On the latter, one chorus alternates “Everybody drink a toast” with “Everybody take a dose.”

My favorite chirstmas carol is [This Time of Year](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LzXAMfxe2iw)by the Mighty Might Bosstones

[Fear - Fuck Christmas](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2RNT42KcG8)
[Megadeth - Thrashing Through The Snow: A Very Megadeth Christmas](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzQkx5t3mPk)
[Bob & Doug McKenzie - The Twelve Days of Christmas](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-E5vDV4wUoE)
[The Ramones - Merry Christmas (I Don’t Want To Fight Tonight)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Y5GtaTrPHM)
But for “traditional” Christmas music, I go with the IRL version of the Megadeth album linked above; IMO you can’t beat [Gary Hoey](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFYit24VDJ0&list=PL0BOWWSrgMVdrhys8Rpx8f6D4eUwdkwaI). I give at least one copy of this album as a gift every year.
