I'm the Christmas Unicorn. Find the Christmas Unicorn. You're the Christmas Unicorn, too. It's alright, I love you.

Personal favorite

[Pee Wee Herman's Hermits]

I claim authority on this subject, having worked in a toyshop at Christmas and heard every Christmas song on earth four hundred thousand times.

And for Christ's sake, there is only one answer, and that's Fairy Tale of New York.



Christmas, without that song, would not be Christmas for me. No Yuletide is complete without a bit of hopeless dirty loser love. Hard to find an uncensored version of it.

It's the "I could have been someone! / Well so could anyone..." line that always gets me.


RIP Kirsty MacColl.

^This by a mile.

It's Christmas tradition to gather the family around by the fireplace, passing out hot cocoa, and open our stockings while Shane McGowan growl's "you're an old slut on junk".
