I'm feeling ambivalent about the holidays right now. If anyone wants to share their ambivalent holiday songs, I'm open.
Here is the only one I can currently bring to mind: fairy tale of new York
E, no final, voltamos pro começo: "Father Christmas" novamente, mas na versão do Bad Religion
As per the song my partner got me “the old combination of socks, jocks, and chocolates” for Christmas this year.
"Feliz Falsedad" (Soziedad Alkoholika)
"Millones de abetos cortaos
Por una estúpida tradición
Que luego acabarán tiraos
En la basura, en cualquier lao
Luces por toda la ciudad
Para intentarla disfrazar
Anuncios de paz y hermandad
Que después ya de nada valdrán"
"Villancico" (Ska-p)
"jesucristo era un tio normal, pacifista, intelectual
siempre al lado de los pobres defendiendo sus valores
siempre en contra del capital."
"Feliz Natal (É o Caralho)", da banda Força Ingovernável. Presente em seu CD-R "Eutanásia Coletiva":
"Não se preocupam com toda a decadência
Querem apenas livrar sua consciência
Roubam os pobres, depois falam de caridade
O resto do ano se esquecem da pobreza"
Começando com "Father Christmas" (The Kinks)
"Have yourself a merry merry Christmas
Have yourself a good time
But remember the kids who got nothing
While you're drinking down your wine".
And my favourite Christmas song! As an atheist I find Christmas if full of great songs with, as Minchin puts it, dodgy lyrics. I am thankful he wrote something this beautiful to fill the gap.
This performance is 13 years or so after Tim Minchin wrote it. He chokes up a few times, particularly on the part about his mum as I believe she had recently passed when he performed.
"He'll bring some crazy toys"
"Even feels real glad" (1969)
"Oh, won't come this year, nothing in his sack
His helpers joined the CIO and walked out on a strike !" (1964)
"...bring me a man" (1958)

Please have this. It is one of my favourite Christmas songs.
May you have a peaceful, restful, and joyous holiday season.
Like many of us, I get dragged down by all the <gestures> around us, but there IS good in the world. Seek it. Support it. Nourish it.
Looking up lyrics to sing along…
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away
Could you maybe
Provide me
With that person's address
Or at least their email
Who has it now?
I guess I should coordinate something with them
Unless they've given it away to someone else too
Might need some significant tracing required here!
The lyrics cover a lot more detail on the situation than I realized.
Even Santa's helpers need a well earned drink this time of year so come and join us tomorrow for a festive sing-a-long, good cheer and a drop of Santa's Slice, our Christmas Cake Porter brewed with #SomerValleyBrewing.
We'll also have some mulled drinks available and a boozy hot chocolate to warm you from your insides out. @breakoutvoices choir will be dropping by at 4pm to lead the sing-a-long outside, if it's not too nippy.
I have restrained myself from using my favorite festive song in any post this month—Christmas don’t be late
by Alvin & The Chipmunks is the best, and I’d die on that hill.
(I’ll really never understand why my brain can’t handle the sound of someone munching next to me, but it’s perfectly fine with these high-pitched critters )

Happy 4th Advent with one of my favourite Christmas songs, a wonderfully jazzy, bluesy version of "All I want for Christmas is you" by #JamieCullum from 2018.
“Carol of the Bells” is actually a Ukrainian song called “Shchedryk.” Oksana Ostapchuk and Myroslava Tanska-Vikulova of @timkmak’s Counteroffensive explain the history of the song, and its significance to one American who’s volunteering in Kyiv.
