you guys

Evacuate’s “Holidays with You” is metal excessive about being with you. Easy now.

GrandIlusionist’s “Home for Christmas (80’s Rock Mix)” also flames up for being with you. Hair metal shenanigans.

American Basics’ “How Could You Want More” is live (and largely ignored) rock that wants answers, dammit.

Renzo Cesana’s “I Bought You Violets” is spoken word regret around the winter occasion of rejection. Erm, maybe roses?

Mark Hand’s “I Don’t Need Anything” recalls that one time of presents and cookies and kisses, but his indie soul doesn’t really remember. Just love.

Confused’s “I Don’t Need You At Christmas (Unmixed, Unmastered & Unloved)” toys with not needing you. Maybe you should just disappear. Then the hard rocking indie starts to wonder about next year. Slippery slope.

yourself

Music with Mar. finally adds some kidding to our month with “Happy Holidays to You“. Kazoos herald Santa. Dreidles spin under the candles. Insistent wishing.

The Whispers Motown their harmony for “Happy Holidays to You“. It’s quite a production for such a simply sweet sentiment.

You and me, according to The Crystalairs, will make a “Happy New Year“. Christmas, too. Doo wop warmed over with R+B.

This year I want you alone, explains jardinière covering The Maine’s “Ho Ho Hopefully“. Not sure who ‘she’ is in this context. But, you got this. Indie monotony.

Kat Perkins draws a line with “Holiday for You and Me“. If you cross it, you will have a good time. Unpasteurized pop.

Dave Barnes is thinking about you while picking out a tree. “Holidays Made for Two” is finger popping lounge jazz, but he gets it right.

youze

Spoon DogG (ft. T-Pop and Juice) honor/mock rap with “Give You This Gift“. BLUE ALERT, your gift is under his belt.

A Choired Taste is more self effacing with the handicapping folk-rock of “Good to See You Again“. It wails, politely.

Sonny Landreth is a smidge more euphemistic with “Got to Get You Under My Tree“. Blues backbeat holds back the urgent zydeco.

Dude York thanks his lucky stars bc “The Greatest Gift Is You“. Dude! Better than a bike? Better than the gift of Christ? Okay, okay. Reluctant rock.

Dolly Parton Kenny Rogers say a silent prayer seeing’s how you are “The Greatest Gift of All”. This easy listening country even allows how no other gifts have been opened yet. Easy win.

Johnny O raises a glass with his lounge lizard “Happy Holidays to You“. He’s here to keep you smarm.

yah-hew

Chanté Moore belts out the soul when “Every Day’s Like Christmas“. When might that be exactly? When you are around. You can quote her.

Lori Lofstrom raises her voice to announce she’s “Falling for You” this time of the year. She’s got it bad, but the folk pop elevates the heat.

Time is just relative, preaches By Surprise. But “Father Christmas Time” is a punk promise to honor and obey.

Spoken word from J.T. Hiskey “From Me, To You (A Christmas Song)” is a bashful poem of need.

John Veaudry, Red Deer, Alberta jazz swing out “Gift of Your Love“. It’s something they want to open. Get it?

Ivan Hrvatska bellows “First I Make Love to You, Then I Make Love to Christmas” with electronic polka backing his accent. At least you came first. So to speak.

dedicated to

“Christmas With You Is The Best” isn’t traditional. It’s sex. Kooky alt rock fun from The Long Winters.

“Christmas You” is a special thing. It’s not an occasion, It’s not a sweater wearing oaf. Jamie O’Neal swings the country pop just far enough to make her point.

“Closer to You” is a reference to baby Jesus from Alison Trelfa. Light ‘n’ airy pop with genuflection.

“Cookies” are a symbol for warmth and love. The Coats sing about you being a holiday dream. And making cookies with you is probably NOT a euphemism. Doo wop a cappella.

CrookedSound gets psychedelic (unintentionally) in “Being with You“. It’s wildly dissociative and obsessive.

“Cult of Seasonality” By Surprise is a long haul of wandering glimpses of Christmas and you and doing and not. I don’t get it and that’s fine.

ye

Bob Malone is looking for forgiveness in a “Christmas with You“. The song rocks, but what’s in it for her?

Denver Duncan’s “Christmas with You” is a pop celebrant with way more synth than ecstasy calls for. Weeee!

In Love talks around his object d’amor. While the songs is entitled “Christmas with You“, the lyrics are all like the girl and she/her. Pokey indie that seems to have slipped a cog on the playback.

Jorden Milnes and Steven Mcgill have a bone to pick with the carcass of Christmas leftovers. But “Christmas with You” will solve all portion control problems. Indie pop.

Also making the best out of a birthday for Christ, Madisen Renee (feat. Riza Singal) welcome “Christmas with You“. Gospel indie.

Marion Meadows uses sax and R+B to delineate “Christmas with You“. Boss party. Not sure it’s cozy….

y’all

Simplify Christmas (feat. Chris and Sydney Stehm) harmonize some charming pop to make it clear the value of “Christmas Time with You“. Yes, please.

Jamie O’Neal pops the country for “Christmas to Me“. She’s doting on you, with your angel wings. Uh oh. That’s not a terrestrial thing, is it?

More country from Nashional who seems to have less to complain about when “Christmas Will Be Only You and Me“. Provided he ever gets home. Sigh. It’s always something south of the Mason-Dixon.

Vera Lynn wants what’s best for you. So her operatic easy listening “A Christmas Wish (From Me to You)” is less about getting with you, and more about getting you with good stuff. Still u-centric.

David Davis has some “Christmas Wishin’“–this time about you being by his side. Motown pop; you hoo hoo hoo hoo-oo.

Power pop ballad from Artist vs. Poet declares it’s me and you against the Yule in “Christmas with You “.

thou

Shark Uppercut runs coy when he asks for “Christmas Presence“. Electronic pop about you. Awww, smooches.

Something’s missing for Tyrone & Lesley. It’s your “Christmas Presence“, so the same wordplay as before. Still pretty sweet. Now with Brit harp.

Kem tosses around a good number of ‘girl’s and ‘baby’s, but “A Christmas Song for You” is about you. You know who. R+B seductive.

Even more flirtatious, Diana Barash poses a “Christmas Time“ for you and I. Enjoy the ride, she sings R+B to electronica. Haven’t heard that one before.

Bearkat circles back to indie (with toy piano) for her “Christmas Time of Year“. There’s love in the air.

Presents… no. Tree… yes. Santa… no. Fire… yes. Lindsey Stirling is particular when she throws around hyperactive pop to ask for “Christmas Time with You“. Me, i need that fine fiddlin’.

you’uns

Jill Johnson may lose her faith but “Christmas in You” is… something something… kiss. I dunno. Torch country western.

“Christmas Lights“, Christmas nights, snow in flight… but all Daniel Hudson wants is you. Measured pop.

Harmonizing Hawaiian, The Brothers Cazimero vocalize “A Christmas Love Song” about you (not uke).

Not even Santa can come between you and me on “Christmas Night“, or so reasons Coco Jones in R+B rap. How many syllables can you make you into?

Little Big Town also challenges the world to back off when it’s “Christmas Night with You“. Gentler pop with a pronounced bedroom eye.

The Jackson Jennings 5 get conversational wondering about you and the “Christmas of Love“. Catchy ‘cuz it’s repetitious. Lowkey bluesy pop.

the one addressed

Christopher Barret suffers “Christmas Dreams” of you and misteltoe. Now i’m suffering, too. Barely held together falsetto over easy listening.

Lindi Ortega tries to be more sanguine when it’s “Christmas Eve with You“. But her western warbling grows more desperate with the anticipation. Take it as a compliment.

If The Temptations had you around, ‘twould be “Christmas Everyday“. Swinging, jazzy doo wop–but with less harmony.

The Mavericks gently chill with jazzy blues in the affective “Christmas for Me (Is You)“. It’s croon nation for me.

Can you hear me? Elizabeth Chan wants to know. Jazzed for lounge, “Christmas Forever” addresses her feelings for you. Hyperbole, stat.

The Four Tops go over the top with “Christmas Here with You“. Laid back R+B with a slender coating of Motown disco. Still, they’re so nice.
