All year, I skip over my Irish Tenors songs when they come up on shuffle, because that's Christmas music and it's not Christmas.

It occurred to me a couple weeks ago that I could stop skipping them, really, because it's the right time of year now.

... Of course, I still skip them.

I'm just tired of Christmas music, this year, with the exception of carols -- and clearly, from all my skipping, not all of those. I went caroling last night and wanted to run away from freaking "We Wish You A Merry Christmas" (although that may have had more to do with the fact that we sang it after every house, and I was getting increasingly frustrated with the increasingly tipsy carolers who were more interested in standing around in 20 degree weather passing around the eggnog. IT'S COLD; SING OR SPLIT).

The only Christmas songs I can stand right now are these:

"Better Days," by the Goo Goo Dolls (c'mon, tell me that's not a Christmas song)
"The Christian and the Pagans," by Dar Williams (except CRAP my copy of it has disappeared! Halp?)
"The Atheist Christmas Carol," by Vienna Teng
"It Feels Like Christmas," from Muppet Christmas Carol
"Auld Lang Syne," by the Real McKenzies (Rock! Bagpipes! Slightly drunken Irish singing!)
"What's This?" by Fall Out Boy

What about you guys? Do you have favorite anti-carols? Would you be willing to share?

(My copy of the Hallelujah Chorus has also disappeared. D: More halp!)
