The obvious Christmas music choice:
Because I do not have baby boomer nostalgia, I don't care for most Christmas songs, which on the whole are cloyingly sentimental and obviously mass-produced attempts to recreate fictional American Christmases of yore (like all American traditions, pre-packaged and probably made up in the mid-20th century).
If pressed, I will admit to "Simply Having a Wonderful Christmas Time" and "All I Want for Christmas Is You" because they are so earth-scorchingly terrible as to be kind of awesome.
"Thou shalt not extinguish thine anger, but shall master it,
that thy conscience may not be blunted by adjustment
to wrong causes."
