Ever, like,reallythink about Christmas lore?

Its all so bleak.
Why are there so many Christmas demons?
Krampus?Zwarte Piet?
Another thought I had is that everyone should let me micromanage their Christmas playlists.
Christmas music doesnt have to suck!
The man releasedtenChristmas-themed EPs in six years.
Thats enough for a lifetime.
(Thats five times as far as his 50 States project ever got.)
(Read more Song of Solomon, eh?)
Saints need slaps too.
Thank Josh Groban and Celine Dion collaborator David Foster for the stuffy, traditional arrangements.
Eric Clapton,Happy Xmas
Eric Clapton does whatever the hell he wants now, and its sorta inspirational.
You might get a tribute album dedicated to a blues player he loved.
You might get offbeat blues duets, jazz standards, or reggae.
This yearsHappy Xmasis the British guitar gods first holiday album.
WAVVES,Emo Christmas
Noise punk quartet WAVVESs two-songEmo ChristmasEP serves exactly what it promises.
The title track is a somber, impossibly catchy rocker about staring longingly through snowflakes looking for love.
So Glad Its Christmas is a two-minute holiday love song every bit as giddy as track one was forlorn.
You gotta hear both sides!
