LOL!
I've always been partial to "Deck the Halls". It's so... pagan. ;)
"We Wish You a Merry Christmas", which captures the festive spirit of extortion ("Now bring us some figgy pudding / We won't go until we get some / So bring it out here!"), has a certain greed-redolent cachet.
It wouldn't be the Winter Festival without a visit from Tom Lehrer.
And the sheer overkill of "The Twelve Days of Christmas" reminds me that this is one holiday it truly takes a fortnight to clean up after! Who let those stupid geese into the living room?? Don't step on the eggs---! ...oh, never mind. Good thing Santa brought a Shop-Vac this year...
Merry Christmas, Justin--
