While this site’s holiday mixtape eschewed things like happiness and familial resolve in favor of uncertainty and depression, there are certain songs out there (though Burger did a hell of a job trying to cover literally everything) that deserve being touched upon. Take some time to check a few of them, both bitter and sweet, out below.  There’s an extra bonus track at the very bottom for those looking to move on to the next thing. Enjoy- and have a happy holidays.

Reigning Sound – If Christmas Can’t Bring You Home

The Royal Guardsmen – Snoopy’s Christmas

Descendents – Christmas Vacation

Run the Jewels – A Christmas Fucking Miracle

Sparks – Thank God It’s Not Christmas

Future of the Left – The Real Meaning of Christmas

And, finally, one for anyone just drifting along absent-mindedly, looking for the next thing to latch on to.
