Advent Calendar, Day Twenty-Five

And with a Hey Ya Charlie Brown, I wish you the best this Christmas possible.

Advent Calendar, Day Twenty-Four

The closest thing I have to another Patton Oswalt holiday routine.

Let me have my nice thing!

Advent Calendar, Day Twenty-Three

A couple of advent calendars ago, I posted this Patton Oswalt routine about "The Christmas Shoes." I refused to post the song then. I'm posting it now. it's by NewSong. Brace yourselves.

Advent Calendar, Day Twenty-Two

A proper Muppets clip.

Advent Calendar, Day Twenty-One

 Very comics-centric. Not for everyone. But this show has its funniest episodes around Christmastime.

Advent Calendar, Day Twenty

With all the talk about The Beatles, it seems like a good time to post a silly Christmas song.

Advent Calendar, Day Nineteen

Still the best Homestar Runner Decemberween cartoon after all these years.

Advent Calendar, Day Eighteen

Here's a recent think piece from Wisecrack.

Advent Calendar, Day Seventeen

Let's end the week with something more punk.

Advent Calendar, Day Sixteen

Ed Sheeran and Elton John made a Christmas song. Did it really need Ed Sheeran? 

Advent Calendar, Day Fifteen

A Facebook friend posted this novelty a few days ago, and I decided to search for Lou Reed holiday music. There's a couple to go through, but I figured I should go with this one today.

Though I made a big stink yesterday about Bryan Adams ripping off "Heaven" for his Christmas song, I don't mind that this Lou Reed song and "Hello It's Me" sound similar. Probably because this Xmas song was first. Probably because I know Lou Reed seemed to fancy himself a wordsmith primarily, which sometimes makes the music almost seem secondary, more background than the main focus of attention.

Advent Calendar, Day Fourteen

I heard this recently in stores. Not only do I not agree that everyday should be Christmas (the stress would kill me), but I'm almost offended how much this song rips off his song "Heaven." It's his song, so he has the right, I guess, but it rubbed me the wrong way somehow. At least the chorus is nice.

 

Advent Calendar, Day Thirteen

Fixed yesterday's Advent entry, so here's another alternative holiday song I heard on Sirius XM.

 

Advent Calendar, Day Twelve

Found this cover of “Last Christmas “ on Sirius XM yesterday and liked it. 

Advent Calendar, Day Eleven

Kurt Cobain never made that Christmas album like he did in that alternative "Sliders" universe, so Dave Grohl has to pick up the slack.

Advent Calendar, Day Ten

Still going with the subversive thing. Thanks, Psychostick!

Advent Calendar, Day Nine

You want some subversive holiday material for the calendar? You got it, buddy!

 

Advent Calendar, Day Eight

Shooting for a big comics related day today, so here's a holiday clip from Teen Titans Go! to start it off.

Advent Calendar, Day Seven

I'm surprised I never posted this one before.

Advent Calendar, Day Six

And now some levity for your Monday Morning slog.
