the chrismukkah mixukkah

some of my all time favorite non-traditional holiday tunes:

Fleet Foxes - Winter White Hymnal - Whenever I hear this song I picture Fleet Foxes doing some badass caroling to this song, wouldn't that be amazing? They can show up on my doorstep any day.

Sufjan Stevens - That Was the Worst Christmas Ever - which was actually the first song i ever heard of Sufjan Stevens, i think it was a single of the week on itunes in 05 or something along those lines. its been a holiday (and basically any time of the year) staple ever since.

The Raveonettes - The Christmas Song - if i remember correctly this was on one of the oc's christmas episodes, too bad this is basically the only video of this on youtube, its skips a bit in the beginning

All of The Killer's Christmas songs but esp the original, Don't Shoot Me Santa - the killers never cease to amaze me, but the fact that there isn't one this year makes me mucho sad.
(notable mentions: A Great Big Sled, iHappy Birthday Guadalupe!, Joseph, Better You Than Me)
Tori Amos - Star of Wonder - i'm usually not the biggest fan of holiday albums, and I definitely think Midwinter Graces is my least favorite Tori Amos album but ever her "worse" album is pretty damn good, as is this song.

Zee Avi - No Christmas For Me - so sweet

Jimmy Eat World - Last Christmas - I really like their take on this one. they only have live and remixes on you tube sooo...
