You may notice that the Cristmas{/tag]-relevance in some of these songs are disputable at best. The reason is that I have included general 'winter'-songs, though only those who give me a feeling of the "right time" of winter, in that they are 'dark' (as in night, not mood) and about the snow "coming, not already here". So no Tori Amos - Winter or Aztec Camera - Walk Out to Winter; they can wait for the Easter-playlist I plan to compilate soon.

Lumsk - Nidvisa: (literally translated:) the Song of Mock directed towards the commercialism of Christmas. Released to gain funds and attention to Gi oss jula tilbake!, a movement to counter this.

Jokke & Valentinerne - Her kommer vinteren (Here comes the Winter): A song to celebrate the end of summer and its pressure to be out in the sun.

Mitch Miller - Let it Snow! Let it Snow! Let it Snow!: Of course.

Chris de Burgh - When Winter Comes: General winter-song.

Tristania - December Elegy: More general winter-music, but at least it has 'december' in the title.

Lumsk - Åsgårdsreia: About 'åsgårdsreia', a pagan myth surviving into Christian times about a host of undead and goblins riding around and pillaging farms which was hanging after in their holiday-preperations.

Sarah Silverman - Give the Jew Girl Toys: Happy Hanukkah ;)

Finntroll - Kyrkovisen: Not even 'general winter', but it gives me that feeling... and it fits so nice with all the other heathendom on this playlist.

Cathedral - Blue Light: At least it sounds like it's about some perverted occult Yuletide celebration.

Spike Jones - All I Want for Christmas Is My Two Front Theeth: I get mine next year.

Chris Rea - Driving Home for Christmas: A nice classic.

Wham - Last Christmas: Homos? On my Saviour's birthday?

Ashley Tisdale - Last Christmas: ... and they got covered by a Jew. Although it may fit her better, since Jesus didn't really live up to the hype; "Wait, I was expecting a new King David! Who is this pinko commie? Fuck it, I'm back to Judaism!"

The Beach Boys - Little Saint Nick: But he is always depicted as fat..?

Bob Rivers - I Saw Mommy Fucking Santa Claus: Well, since Mommy and Daddy thought little Bobby was asleep, they would do much more than just kissing.

Bob Rivers - Santa's Whore: St. Nicholas once saved three sisters from prostitution, but this one slipped trough...

Bob Rivers - I Am Santa Claus: One have to ask; why didn't Black Sabbath do this from the beginning.

Chris de Burgh - A Spaceman Came Travelling (versions from both : Spanish Train and Other Stories and High on Emotion; Live from Dublin): Best Christmas-song ever.

Danger Danger - Naughty Naughty Xmas: Do you know why Santa is so jolly? He know where all the naughty girls live...

Eartha Kitt - Santa Baby: ... so no point in trying to be nice.

The Go-Go's - I'm Gonna Spend My Christmas With A Dalek: CE-LE-BRA-TE!!!

Hans Rotmo - Vårres jul (album): A wonderful album meant to focus on the pre-Christian traditions of Norwegian Yuletide. Includes the classic Vårres jul, the near-metal Åsgårdsreia (heavier than the mentioned same-titled song by Lumsk) and the delightful anti-communistic (if you ignore the irony, that's it) Helvete.

Heather Dale - This Endris Night: Most known as the soundtrack to those medival ytmnds, this is actually an anciant Christmas Carol.

The Jackson 5 - I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus: If it was the Bob Rivers-version, that might have explained something about Michael Jackson.

Travellin' Strawberries - Songs from THE JULEKALENDER (album): The soundtrack from the "countdown"-TVseries The Julekalender.

Jimmy McGriff - I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus: Do I have to many versions of this song?

John Mellencamp - I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus: Yes, I do.

José Feliciano - Feliz Navidad: Another one that is brought forth once a year.

Judy Garland - Somewhere Over the Rainbow: From the holiday-classic the Wizard of Oz.

King Diamond - Christmas: From one of his horror-musicals/concept-albums, with this number taking place during... well, Christmas.

King Diamond - No Presents for Christmas: Not from any concept-album... Wait, King Diamond doing something NOT conceptual?

Kinky Friedman - They Ain't Makin' Jews Like Jesus Anymore: Maybe more of a Easter-song, but Santa Claus IS mentioned... as the real killer of Christ. Funny stab at commercialism or desperate attempt to blame someone else??

Kurt Ravn - Nu Tændes Tusind Julelys: Standard for Scandinavian Christmas-concerts.

Luca Turilli - King of the Nordic Twilight (album): The whole album, with its cover-art, classical elements and fairytale/fantastic themes just seems so... Yule.

Manowar - Silent Night/Stille Nacht: A metal-band doing classic carols... without mock or malice... in original German? I retract all my homophobic and antisemittic statements.

Judas Priest - Evening Star: Correction; I retract my antisemittic statements.

Martin Brygmann - Jul I Valhal (album): The soundtrack for another countdown-series, about two kids helping the Aesir to stop Ragnarok. The best song is of course the rap Lokes Rapsody. A pity didn't have the impact on nsbm it should have, and they continue playing their Negro metal...
What? Isn't that what 'black' in black metal refers too?

mc chris - Fuckin Up My Christmas: Comedy rap from nerdcore-rapper.

Monty Python - Brian Song: About the birth of our Saviour... Brian... Always Look on the Bright Side of Life is more of an Easter-song, however.

Monty Python - Christmas in Heaven: Where else?

Nick Cave - The Word Made Flesh: Ramblin' on for 16 minutes.

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Tupelo: If Elvis Presley was Jesus... and Jesus was that badass the Jews are waiting for.

Nora Brockstedt - Julekveldsvisa: Beloved Norwegian carol by Alf Prøysen.

The Pogues - Fairytale of New York: COnsidered by many to be THE Christmas song.

Saint Vitus - Jack Frost: 'Cause everything is better with doom...

Smokie - A Spaceman Came Travelling: CdeB-cover.

Spinal Tap - Christmas With the Devil: versions from both Christmas with the Devil and Break Like the Wind, in addition to Christmas With The Devil [Scratch Mix]

Tom Waits - Christmas Card from a Hooker in Minneapolis: getting tired of the holiday now.

Dr. Demento - The 12 Pains Of Christmas: Gathering of the family... I've never got what's so great about it, they just nag on you so you miss all the good Holiday-Specials on TV :(

"Weird Al" Yankovic - Christmas At Ground Zero: But this sounded worse...

ABBA - Happy New Year: ... and it is over for this time, and a whole year untill next time... well, at least 11 months.
