    The My Chemical Romance cover of this song is quite good, perhaps better than the original.

    I think my very long Christmas playlist with a mix of alternative and popular Christmas songs insulates me from hearing the original on repeat, and as a result, I don’t have as bitter of feelings towards it. I mean, it’s not my favorite, but I’ve heard much worse Christmas songs. It’s a lowest-common-denominator corporate pop anthem, but at least a well-executed one; as long as it’s not on repeat, I don’t mind hearing it once in a while.

        I know about “The Night Santa Went Crazy”, but the mass shooting sort of violence in it is not so funny anymore; I much prefer “Christmas At Ground Zero”. I’ll have to look into the AC/DC one, though.

        Some of my favorites from my playlist:

        • Jonathan Coulton and John Roderick’s banger Christmas album One Christmas At a Time, of which my favorites are “Christmas In Jail”, “One Christmas at a Time”, and “Christmas with You Is the Best”
        • Also, Jonathan Coulton’s “Chiron Beta Prime”
        • “Sad” and “CryptoSanta” by Lemon Demon
        • “Merry Christmas (I Don’t Want to Fight)” by the Ramones
        • Most of the stuff on “They Might Be Giants in Holidayland” EP is good; most of it is from earlier albums, but it’s a good collection of holiday stuff they’ve done. I’m just sad they’ve never released “We Just Go Nuts at Christmastime”.1
        • Puddle’s Pity Party version of “I’ll Be Home For Christmas”, because it sounds like someone is sneaking up behind you to murder you.
        • “Me and the Snowman” by Logan Whitehurst

        1: There’s also a song called “Christmas Cards” never released outside of a 7" from 1993. “Christmas In the Bighouse” is not on streaming because it’s exclusive to the band’s shop; I own it on CD and in FLAC, but can’t put it on the playlist unfortunately because it’s in Apple Music and collaborative playlists can’t use personal library tracks.

        Family Force 5 “Carol Of The Bells” is enjoyable in a weird ironic 2010 way
