It's easy this time of year to get caught up in all the commotion and forget about the true meaning of Christmas. Christmas is really all about over-indulgence; eating too much, getting lots-o-shit, and drinking till you pass out with the ones you love (or, as in my case, family). And nothing gets me in the Christmas spirit like music. So here are some of my favorite Christmas tunes. I hope you find the true spirit of the season within these timeless classics...as I have.
Jon Lajoie has some great music including and early version of the Beatles classic Blackbird (thank Adelle for that one). But his holiday song Cold Blooded Christmas is on par with Frosty the Snowman and Jingle Bells and is fast becoming the best Christmas song ever recorded.
Red Peters has a great tune called You Aint Getting Sh*t For Christmas, to compliment his other classics such as Blow Me, and You Promised the Moon (But I prefer Uranus)
If you're looking for a contemporary twist on an old standard there's the John C. Reilly and Will Farrell remake of David Bowie and Bing Crosby's Little Drummer Boy. And for a last minute gift idea check out Dick In a Box by Andy Samberg and Justin Timberlake
Weird Al is really hit and miss. Of course he has classics like Eat it and Amish Paradise, but for this time of year nothing beats Christmas as Ground Zero.
And finally Trey Parker and Matt Stone of course have some terrific holiday classics: Eric Cartman Sings Oh Holy Night is a great one..but my favorite from the boys is Mr Hanky The Christmas Poo. And for after the holidays, check out Kyle's Mom's a Bitch.
I hope these beautiful songs help put you in the Christmas spirit. Cheers, and Happy Holidays.

Good ones DeG, I meant to include The Night Santa Went Crazy, but forgot. Frosty the Pervert is over the top, even for me.....
...ok, just kidding.
"or, as in my case, family" (That's how to work the internet, right? Just copy a line I think is funny?)
I happen to love Christmas. And oh you all think it's so funny to listen to these parody songs... while I sit here & cry like a baby listening to this moving piece. Gets me every time.
I'm unsubbing Booze for Christmas. :P
As much as a love the solemn joy of Christmas, I can't deny I almost jizz in my pantz with pure happiness when I hear the Mr Garrison from Southpark sing Merry Fucking Christmas:

But that might be a little to PC to some of you. Well, Merry fucking Christmas to all of you anyway.
@Baron: everything makes you jizz in your pants: church bells, thunder and lightning, ABBA, modular furniture, etc.
Well, what can I say - I'm easy to please...
Mr. Garrison FTW! (And what I used to think FTW meant when I was a noob) :-)
FTW = Fumunda The Weasel....right?
I thought it ment "Feel The Weiner".
Baron just reminded me of another Christmas Classic!

DeG, I take away the props I gave you for your first response. I had Dick In The Box in the original post!!!!
