How about The New Pornographers' Joseph, Who Understood.

I also like giraffebone's It's a Wonderful Life and Slick Nick, You Devil You.

Death Cab's version of Christmas Baby Please Come Home is pretty good.

I listened to that New Pornopgraphers song and it confirmed that I am so over the New Pornopgraphers.

I don't agree with all of it, but here's an interesting list.

So I guess Vince Guaraldi's drummer on the Charlie Brown album is from my neck of the woods! Well, broadly speaking——poor ol' New Brunswick just can't catch a break.

The CBC also had an interesting radio piece where they interviewed him about the album's creation, but I can't find it anywhere.

So they turned Hallelujah into a Christian Christmas song about baby Jesus proving that this is an amazing song even when sung with trite new lyrics.

Trapped in purgatory
A lifeless object, alive
Awaiting reprisal
Death will be their acquisition

The sky is turning red
Return to power draws near
Fall into me, the sky's crimson tears
Abolish the rules made of stone

Pierced from below, souls of my treacherous past
Betrayed by many, now ornaments dripping above

Awaiting the hour of reprisal
Your time slips away

Raining blood
From a lacerated sky
Bleeding its horror
Creating my structure
Now I shall reign in blood!

Sounds like a pretty pious holiday jam to me, if not a necessarily Christmassy one. Sounds more Easter than anything: A God descending to earth to be voluntarily dismembered in a grizzly fashion, and travelling to hell and returning to atone for humanity's horrific consumptive greed!

 Christianity is metal as fuck.

Christian Christmas song about baby Jesus

Oh man. Oh god damn. The existence of 'Liftbump' made me die a little, but in a funny way. But the death those revised lyrics caused, less so. The performance of the song was really nice though.

Also, the video's title claims that in watching it I will 'Literally Feel Christmas.' I suppose this invites all sorts of questions about the phenomenology of 'feeling' something in a literal sense, given the prevalence of sensory metaphor in speech n' all... I know, I know——we're all big grown up anti-prescriptivists 'round these parts, but the increasingly mainstream usage of 'literally' for purposes of emphasis still just gets my goat.

I'll get over it.
