[There’s plenty of great Christmas songs out there, but most suffer terribly from over-exposure. To remedy that, EbM presents a selection of alternative Christmas songs.]
Well we’ve finally made it to the end, and it turns out these little single-song showcase posts have been quite popular; I’ll have to do it again sometime. Since Christmas is practically upon us now, I thought I’d better post what I consider to be the best Christmas song ever. In fact, this little number from The Very Foundation (courtesy of XO for the Holidays 2009 comp.) is a song that ought to be an all-time-top-song of mine, but it’s just so Christmasy that to listen to it outside of December would just feel wrong. As it is, I savour the short time that I can get away with playing it on almost constant repeat. Witty and at times ridiculous, yet always displaying a proper Christmas spirit (without ever descending into schmaltz), this is, in my view, the very best that Christmas music has to offer.
I hope all your day’s are merry and bright, and merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night.
