Christmas songs

I don't really care for traditional Christmas songs.

Jethro Tull's "A Christmas Song" is probably my favorite, it's not a very happy song, but it gets at the true spirit of the holiday and how it gets lost in midst of commercialism.

Others I like are:
The Kinks: "Father Christmas"
XTC: "Thanks For Christmas"
Emerson, Lake and Palmer: "I Believe in Father Christmas"
Root Boy Slim: "Christmas At K-Mart"
John Lennon: "Happy Christmas (War Is Over)"
Bruce Springsteen: "Santa Claus is Coming To Town"
David Bowie & Bing Crosby: "Little Drummer Boy/Peace On Earth"

There's probably a bunch more that I can't remember.
