Hey everybody, on AP.net there used to be an annual list of holiday songs by bands from the scene, either covers or originals. With the time of holidays upon us, I figured we could start something like that up again. Feel free to post various Christmas and holiday songs you guys have accrued over the years, as well any new ones that come out. I'll do my best to get them all on the OP as a list and hopefully get a Spotify/Apple Music playlist going. I'll start us off with some, please give me some more: Valencia - "Father Christmas" Jimmy Eat World - "Last Christmas" Blink 182 - "I Won't Be Home For Christmas" Blink 182 - "Happy Holidays You Bastards" Fall Out Boy - "Yule Shoot Your Eye Out" All Time Low - "Merry Christmas Kiss My Ass" My Chemical Romance - "All I Want For Christmas Is You" A Day To Remember - "Right Where You Want Me To Be" The Wonder Years - "Christmas At 22" Man Overboard - "Decemberism" Good Charlotte - "Christmas By The Phone" The Used - "Alone This Holiday" MxPx - "Punk Rawk Christmas" MxPx - "Christmas Night Of The Living Dead" Simple Plan - "Christmas List" No Doubt - "Oi To The World" Fountains Of Wayne "I Want An Alien For Christmas" The Ramones - "Merry Christmas" Set Your Goals - "Reset (Holiday Version)" Something Corporate - "Forget December" Gatsby's American Dream - "Christmas Time Is Here" Matchbook Romance - "I'll Be Home For Christmas" Acceptance - "Happy XMas (War Is Over)" Punchline - "Icicles" Saosin - "Mookie's Last Christmas" The Format - "Holly Jolly Christmas" Spitalfield - "It's Cold Out There" Hot Rod Circuit - "Happy XMas (War Is Over)" Haste The Day - "O' Come Emmanuel" Scary Kids Scaring Kids - "What A Wonderful World" The Matches - "December Is For Cynics"

Usually I don't like to think about these things before Thanksgiving...but all of my Christmas music is on my old Macbook and I haven't switched it over yet. Here are a few that come to mind immediately for me: Sleigh Ride - fun. What Are You Doing New Year's Eve - Andrew McMahon Every single Relient K Christmas song The August Burns Red Christmas catalog of songs All I Want For Christmas Is You - My Chemical Romance White Christmas - Bad Religion The entire Bright Eyes Christmas album O Holy Night - Go Radio 12 Days of Christmas - Taking Back Sunday Chris Farren's Like a Gift from God or Whatever Little Drummer Boy - The Almost (a personal favorite)
Ones that haven’t been mentioned that I like: The Almost - Little Drunmer Boy Anberlin- Baby Please Come Home John Lennon- War Is Over The She & Him Christmas Record too
There's a four-way emo Christmas split done a few years ago. I haven't listened to it yet, but it's a thing: You Blew It! - Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree Dikembe - All I Want for Christmas is You Have Mercy - Deck the Halls Kittyhawk - Silver Bells Also, this is a classic:
Old 97s just released a Christmas album of 9 originals and 4 traditionals. Of course I haven't listened yet because it isn't Christmas season
I got Hanson’s album Snowed In last week on vinyl and I have never been so pumped to start listening to Christmas music!
Does anyone have The Maine - And A Happy New Year EP? You can’t buy or stream it all all in the UK any more.
I used to post either of these on Facebook every Christmas as a running joke just to aggravate people.
