Also How about the Eastern Christians still using the Julian calendar . I think Christmas is next Wednesday.The 12th day of Christmas is not until January 6, which is when the Three Wise men finally showed up.
Be that as it may, and the fact that I did not participate notwithstanding, but there was the Christmas Song Thread on the Women's board.
. The only real rocknroll Christmas song....The Kinks
A couple of my children were in the next room when I regretfully hit start on the song you posted as I had never heard it before I didn’t know what the opening lyrics were ..... and I had to do some quick explaining. Maybe a warning not to play in front of small children would’ve been nice.... just sayin. We had @ I heart radio, 106.3 playing in our house and trucks all of December and they played nonstop Christmas songs. 24/7 and they never played that song for obvious reasons.... just sayin
I don't think they were complaining because of that. I'm assuming It's because the first few lines say there is no Santa Claus and it was only their father playing Santa Claus.******
Perhaps a bit racie. I heard it in car on NYC FM stations, including Seton Hall Univ (headbanger) radio 89.5fm, anf thought, from style, it was Metallica.
I like the above mentioned songs, plus always the Beach Boys (Little St NIck), and Jingle Bell Rock (Bobby Helms?).
your absolutely right. Merry Christmas to everyoneI don't think they were complaining because of that. I'm assuming It's because the first few lines say there is no Santa Claus and it was only their father playing Santa Claus.

ooppss. Thought u were talking about Zombie Claus, not the Kinks. Replayed the sart of Zombie clip a dozen times looking for the comment on playing Santa?? Kinks always have a comment on social structure.
My all time favorite is a two way tie, “The Christmas Song” by Nat King Cole and “Do They Know it’s Christmas”. Lots of other great ones. Do you hear what I hear is close to making it a three way tie.
"Do they know it's Christmas"... I always cringed at the 4th line:
"Where the only water flowing
Is the bitter sting of tears
And the Christmas bells that ring there are the clanging chimes of doom
Well tonight thank God it's them instead of you...."
