Comment:

This year, you don't have to settle for that same old seasonal songbook again. When those Christmas carols start to stick in your craw and you find yourself having dreams of tying tin cans on Rudolph's tail instead of visions of sugarplums dancing in your head, give [i]yourself[/i] the gift that keeps on giving — the ultimate bummer Christmas soundtrack. From the pop-punk power of Blink-182's "I Won't Be Home for Christmas" to the frosty funk of James Brown's "Santa Claus Go Straight to the Ghetto," these are the tunes that take a less-than-starry-eyed view of that sleigh-bells-and-snowballs time of the year. We've piled up a steep stack o’ cranky Christmas classics guaranteed to stuff your stocking and cure your holiday hang-ups.
