There is the Boy Least Likely To's X-mas song, the little donkey (http://www.theboyleastlikelyto.co.uk/little_donkey/little_donkey.mp3), as well as a little pin the tail on the donkey game.

And also, this blogger posted Bright Eye's "Have Yourself a Merry X-mas" as well as a few links to the other vile Christmas tune sharing blogs over at

hey all!
A record 3 original holiday hits got writ this season by your friend and mine: Me. And they're all up for your ears right here http://www.myspace.com/shenbee One of 'em called ;;christmas tree;; is on this years SSMHoliday Comp out now on the detroit indie suburban sprawl.
(http://www.suburbansprawlmusic.com )

the others are Snow Patrol, which is possibly slightly too much about getting it on with siamese twins (although I dont think so)
and Christmas Star, which is definitely too much about drowning. I can't help it though! That Holiday Spirit just gets me everytime!!!

Cheers,
Ian.

I've played this so much I've lost my objectivity...but it's my instrumental piano version of "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas," based on the John Denver & The Muppets Version.

Christmas is a time to get a lot of stuff.
Take it from someone who was born on 12-25.
