There are a couple of Los Straitjackets albums devoted to Xmas songs. While I like their music in general, there’s only so much that can be done to liven up hoary old Xmas standards.

I do like [this one](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73E8b3Z-EhQ&t=37s) though.

“The Elf’s Lament” is my favorite Christmas song.

Any of the albums by Nowell Sing We Clear, which are English folk song types of carol, some of which seem more party-themed than Christmas themed but hey, peasants, right?

I’ll try to find some links

This one has been featured on their Christmas albums although I’ve never been clear on its relationship with Christmas. I still like, though. [Rise Up Jock](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVGJPrCT8Yc)
