I’m not opposed to getting into the holiday spirit, but I cannot condone those who take it too far or start too early. Because it is after December 1st, it is now acceptable to listen to Christmas music (in moderation). I can only listen to the “classic” songs for so long, year after year. So, to kick off the holiday season I will share my favorite collections of X-mas music.

Last year I impulsively bought this album from Amazon. Subtitled “A Punk Rock Christmas,” the album has 20 tracks from popular punk rock bands. Notable tracks include:

  • Yule Shoot Your Eye Out - Fall Out Boy
  • Forget December - Something Corporate
  • Christmas Time is Here - Gatsbys American Dream
  • I Won’t Be Home For Christmas - Blink 182
  • So This Is Christmas - Acceptance
