I don't like most Christmas music, especially not all the commercialized music that they force down on my ears in shops and supermarkets. If it has to be Christmas music, it has to be real art music. So Bach's Weihnachtsoratorium for me:


Alternately, Händel's The Messiah, or some of the old Danish hymns from the 16. to 19. Century.

Since Spinal Tap's Christmas with the Devil off Break Like the Wind was mentioned, I just listened to that whole album again after a long time yesterday (and not because of that song). I almost posted "Rainy Day Sun" in another video thread after that.

As an old school Whovian, here's my ho ho go from The Go Go's: "I'm Gonna Spend My Christmas With A Dalek" and why not?

Three of the most famous Italian virologists sing Jingle Bells with a text that invites you to get vaccinated.

Terrible result...

Amos Goldberg (professor of Genocide Studies at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem): Yes, it's genocide. It's so difficult and painful to admit it, but we can no longer avoid this conclusion.

Unfortunately virology is a total fraud.

As a biologist this was one of the most shocking revelations in my research beyond the controlled confines of academia

What they are calling vaccines these days do not meet the legal http://www.zerohedge.com/covid-19/foiad-cdc-emails-our-definition-vaccine-problematic?fbclid=IwAR2dsrBiRf_1OW2Nzln1xjntMKqDZmGebFwIY3E7KNju9nOd8KuvkybBP78" rel="nofollow - definition

Welcome to the world's greatest fraud ever, the antithesis of any merry Christmas

Happy jazzfusion Xmas from Finland
 

The swedes have this wonderful tradition writing christmas songs about St. Staffan (St Stephen) "the first christian martyr". Naturally they are darker-themed (bloodier) and more dramatic. These are both from Folk & Rackare's quite progressive folkrock 1981 christmas-album Stjarnhästen:




A pagan Yuletide-song



Of course plenty of 14th-15th century Carols and hymns got wonderful melodies - you've just have to locate the right version. Like this one:



While this song actually orignates from the 4th century:

My two favorites....

The Pogues - Fairytale of New York
