I stumbled across Bad Religion's Christmas album the other day and actually really like it for something different. The album could do without the American Jesus track.
———————————————— The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad. If we got each other, and that's all we have. I will be your brother, and I'll hold your hand. You should know I'll be there for you!

I heard this for the 1st time last year and my boys and I love it. I spent most of my Christmases in Jersey growing up so I have no clue how I had never heard it before.

I saw Trans Siberian Orchestra this past weekend, and their whole show was amazing. It would be hard to pick one of their songs.
Merry Christmas from the family by Robert Earl Keen is way up on my list too.
Here's to the sunny slopes of long ago.
