Modern Christmas music

If you’re like me, Christmas music makes you mad rather than merry. If listening to “The Little Drummer Boy” for the 10th time pounds the holiday cheer right out of you, here are five modern Christmas songs to cuddle up with.

The Knife, “Christmas Reindeer”

Yeah Yeah Yeahs, “All I Want for Christmas”

No Doubt, “Oi to the World”

Raveonettes, “Come On Santa”

The Kinks, “Father Christmas”
