I'm not very good at getting these up to date over the weekend. In any case, lol at Doc's contribution and I forgot to thank Marky for all his great additions.

This one is for Mrs. B:

25 Days of Christmas (Songs), 2018 - Day 15

Frightwig - The Lonely Jew on Christmas


Original release: Riot Grrrl Christmas
Year: 2015

Very funny (I think, anyways) track from old-school 80s female punk band that got back together a few years ago. The Riot Grrrl Christmas comp is essential holiday listening since it got released a few years ago, I'll feature a few more selections from it next, I think.
Sorry I missed this last week! I was off the grid, so to speak. This is great. Thanks, Flex!
Got a Rake? Sure!

I do not want to let the Amazing Royal Crowns go without comment: excellent stuff. For Christmas, Flex is catching up on this thread and giving everyone some tasty holiday tunes to finish out their day...

Flex's 25 Days of Christmas (Songs) - Day 22

Elmo & Patsy - Percy the Puny Poinsettia


Original release: Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer
Year: 1979

The second single from the hit holiday novelty record, and for my money the best song on the LP. Extremely charming, and a nice Christmas story. Loved it growing up. Still love it. Ripe for some indie folk cover any day now.

Flex's 25 Days of Christmas (Songs) - Day 23

Elvis Presley - There Will Be Peace in The Valley


Original release: Peace In the Valley EP
Year: 1957

The controversial (?) flip-side of the epic Elvis' Christmas Album was a reissue of a religious EP that Presley has already released. The title track is one of my favorites from The King and has always been a Christmas song in my book. Here's a charming Ed Sullivan performance for you all.

Merry Christmas all of you. I've been torturing the family with my Christmas music the past few weeks. I guess it ends tomorrow. Makes me a little sad.

I play Christmas music until the epiphany, just to extra annoy.

Thanks for that full list Flex. I hadn't realised that Viv Albertine had released some Christmas songs until I checked out the song you had listed.
