Yeah, Christmas at Ground Zero didn’t really hit the same after “ground zero” became tied to 9/11.
Finally a christmas thread where I can answer with passion: August Burns Red - Flurries
Volume: 11/10
It’s an instrumental, but nobody in their right mind would claim that it’s anything but a Christmas song.
I’m a simple man. I see JoCo, I upvote.
Classic:
Gloucestershire Wassail
Modern Enough:
Weird Al’s Christmas At Ground Zero
Fairytale of New York by The Pogues
Cashing in on Christmas by Bad News

SABATON - Christmas Truce (saved a click)
The film score from Die Hard.
I am of the opinion that Die Hard is a Christmas movie.
From the category COUNTRY, NON-SHITTY VERSION, I have some good ones:
- Merry Christmas from the Family, Robert Earl Keen
- The sequel, Happy Holidays Y’All
- Grateful for Christmas, Hayes Carll
- (Close enough to Christmasy) Snowin’ on Raton, Townes Van Zandt
- Arbolito, Tish Hinojosa
- Literally any traditional carol sung by Willie Nelson or Emmylou Harris
- X-Mas on the Isthmus, Terry Allen and Guy Clark
- Christmas in Washington, Steve Earle
