12 days of Christmas by Bob and Doug Mckenzie
No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

TAKE OFF, EH!
It's a Gamer's Christmas! - The Chalkeaters feat. PiNKII is an amusing song. Their Skyrim song is fantastic too.
The Twisted Sister version of Oh Come All Ye Faithful.
Happy Xmas (War is Over) by John and Yoko.
This is the only video I could find outside of Spotify. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIhoC89kVVQ
I really like Chris Rea's "Driving home for Christmas", but have to say this version by Angelina Jordan is superb
Jona Lewie - Stop The Cavalry. Apparently not originally intended as a Christmas song anyway.
Gulajh Gulajhah Gwanghwamun by the Human Centipedes.
Slappin’ tune.
Not sure if it counts, but John Coltrane playing "My Favorite Things". I got that track on some best of Coltrane collection for Christmas when I was in grade school. It eventually became both my favorite Christmas song and really got me into jazz. It's still the default version that pops into my head when I think of that song, not Julie Andrews singing it in The Sound of Music.
Swans - The Seer
https://youtu.be/K6nxWui4qD8?si=NK5ZV0zmKYkXhN75 Love this song. And yes I do work retail. And fuck everyone. Be nice to the retail workers.
The Norwegian version of Holy Night.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=PK-NZc4O6mA
It is performed by Sissel Kyrkjebo.
A Very Polish Christmas by Sabadu.
Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence

The only Christmas-related media I like in any capacity, is the OG Grinch cartoon. So Thurl Ravenscroft is the only person I wanna hear singing on Christmas.
I'm with you on team "O holy night", my favourite version is Andy Williams', closely followed by Perry Como's!
Vulfpeck's Christmas in LA is a bop
White Christmas, which was written by Irving Berlin, who was Jewish!
I like it because of how intricately the melody is written. It ebbs and flows perfectly against the chord progression and feels much closer to a jazz standard than most other Christmas songs.
Christmas Rapping by the Waitresses
Dragged Under - This Holiday https://youtube.com/watch?v=cgPfIhbIJU0
Also "Skank for Christmas" by Reel Big Fish
It would be mostly this song by Filipino band Over October, even though this could also apply to those missing their own parents or siblings for so long:
Into the Light
12 days of Christmas
Sufjan Stevens - Sister Winter
Such a beautiful tune, starts so slow and haunting and ends up so hopeful.
Ring The Bells - Eurobeat Union
For some reason the only real version I could find on YouTube is the first song in Zenki's Christmas Touhou Eurobeat Mix and it's kind of ironic because it's the only song in that mix that is actually Christmas related.
