‘I promise YOU I’ll be home for Christmas….’

Anonymously sung, “God Said I Love You On Christmas Day” attempts to uplift the uninformed. I guess i can see why they’re unnamed.

Valley of Love (feat. Nicolau Roig Fonta) begins “Let the Xmas Get into Your Heart” as slow and sweet as a three person luau. Then there’s gunplay. And ragtime. Weee!

The Tvsjudgejoebrown Band makes a meal of “Thank You Christmasland“, but the mishmash of music and garbled crowd noises make it hard for me to know when to say Thank You.

For “You Make Christmas Feel Like Heaven” Tommy Page opens his heart and tries to make a successful pop tune. Don’t make fun.

Reimagining ‘Home for Christmas’ The Tractors reveal the motivation for returning in “Baby Wanna Be by You“. Honky tonking cool.

‘I don’t think Santa Claus will mind, do you?’

Love is in the frosty air when The Washingtonians (feat. Tony Driscoll) sing “Snowed In with You” into a bathroom microphone. Oompah washboard quality.

The hypothetical second person rears its fluke in Vom Vorton’s “Christmas is No Fun When You’re Trapped in the Belly of a Whale”. This experimental garage head scratcher is courtesy of Pete da elf. It’s okay, isn’t it?

Vince Vance & The Valiants torture the country listener with “Why Can’t You be Here for Christmas?” It’s more of an accusation than a real question.

Vina Verde returns with more struggling singing “I Want You This Christmas“. That’ll be enough of that–what is it? pop?!

Tom Walker’s “First Christmas with You” is bombastic pop rimmed with sea shanty overtones. This might be the one.

‘and whose YOU didn’t hear….’

Dorothy seems to be you, provided you are a dinosaur, in The Wiggles’ “Will You Dance With Me Around The Christmas Tree?” Kidsong with a hint of psychedelia. Okay then.

“Are You Coming Home for Christmas?” wonder The Webb Brothers with rocking love.

Tom Odell means well, but will be “Spending All My Christmas with You (Next Year)“. Timing, my man. Bluesy rocking pop.

Wheelchair Full of Men center me into a novelty universe with the barely BLUE “Merry Christmas, You Son of a Bitch“. It’s an off key indie toast to an alcoholic.

While novelized, let’s give an ear to Waylan St. Palan & The Magic Elves ragtime declaiming “You’re Off the List“. He knows when YOU’re naughty, not when I’m naughty.

‘somebody waits for YOU….’

BLUE ALERT 85% Jesus discerns who YOU are in the rocking “Merry Fucking Christmas (to some of you)“. Be nicer to him and you might make the cut.

3JS wants you to “Tell Me Your Story“. It’s a trick to get your wine. Or it’s a charitable gift to someone down on their luck. Soft gospel pop.

2 Live Jews lounge parody a special message to all you celebrities. “Don’t Get Caught (With Your Pants Down)” takes on ‘Coming to Town’ but only leaves change for a tip.

Practicing their English, 전혜빈 sings us “Merry Christmas I Love You Happy New Year All My Heart” as an R+B medley with a rap chaser.

‘every where YOU go….’

“What Do You Want For Christmas?” by Jagger Holly is blue collar punk like your gramps sang along with. How YOU doin’?

‘and when YOU walk down the street….’

Sergio brings the parang with “Give Yuh This“, a good news/bad news celebration of you and Xmas. Hot stuff.

Sufjan Stevens does his New Age indie thing all over “Did I Make You Cry on Christmas Day? (Well, You Deserved It!)“. The story swerves all over our relationship, so it may be hard to tell who’s to blame. So shut up.

Ultra swinging pop “Who Knew It’d Be You This Christmas?” by Ginna Claire Mason & Jimmy Needham returns us to a romantic mood. Effusive by half, but thanks.

Edited for TV, “Classic Christmas TV ‘You Asked for It’” by CINEMATIS nearly introduces some Jolly Old Elf, because YOU sent in some request. Classic, but not classy.

Fighting the War on Christmas, Toby Keith threatens the broadminded with violence in the CW “Have I Got A Present For You“. Look out.

“It’s Christmas Time! (Naughty For You)” is a vampy come on by Yasmine Vine, She’ll be naughty for you. So, heavily syncopated jazzy pop. Like burlesque.

‘and God bless YOU and send YOU….’

AI returns via SMJ (an appellation no longer visible online) with the overjazzed overpopped overreach of “Yuletide’s Fool”. He’s hunting you down, and you’re going to like it!

CosmePak’s “あなたを待っている (Waiting For You)” is indie industrial–and perhaps in a holiday vein–but the hopeless caterwauling still gets me right in the stapes.

Stephen Cuthbert counts country as a gimme for suffering in “3… 2.. 1“, another bereft bit of begging for you to be there for Xmas.

salem Ilese infuses country into pop and finger popping for her serenade “12 Months of Christmas“. How 12? It’s all you.

Making no bones about it, Tiyi Christopher declares “I Love Ya (This Christmas)“. I don’t find this R+B conditional at all. I believe.

Sarah Connor sweetens her pop with indie jazz in the tragedy “24th“. Why then? ‘Cuz you’re not coming anymore… it hits me on the 24th.

‘love and joy come to YOU….’

Davy Long gets low and slow with the hypnotic indie “You’re One of Us“. The haunting refrain takes me back to my carnival days at the freak show.

Lee Harris bebop on the lil electric organ for “You’re the Only Christmas (That I Need)”. It’s meet cute for the sock hop.

The Fruitcakes decelerate the joy until “Your Smile Is My Gift (Too)” is a sad, pitiable litany over making do with less. But, at least, there’s you. Indie.

Casey Shea covers “You’re All I Want For Christmas” with cool, filtered pop. Sounds better this way.

Frosty Pines Ensemble slushes through the easy listening with the peppy “You Are My Favourite Holiday“. Passions peek out, then recede.

“You’re the Happy In My Holiday” by Elastic Hoofbeats (feat. Breelo) is nothing more than Hallmark movie-type background, and somehow that country pop is enough.

“You’re My Holiday” by Nick Nick is twisty jazz eagerness that wants and woos with wile. Danceable.

AI from straylightmonk check Christmas cliches off the list for “You’re My Holiday“. Upbeat, but soulless.

WOLVES X BB St. Clair mash up soul and pop and make soup in “You’re My Favorite Holiday“. It sets a mood, then simmers.

Tight Pants Syndrome retro the rock with the amazed “How Did You Get To Be Mine (This Christmas)?” Cutting a rug, that’s what i’m doing now. Groovy!

‘have YOURself a merry little Christmas….’

Wizards of Boat mask the message in “It’s Christmas & I Love You“. This experimental, filtered, oddball of a song purports little romance. But it Dows go on and on.

Florence K shimmies the sultry and ooh oohs the jazz for “You’re Christmas to Me“. I find myself moved.

Francesca Battistelli is also flirty, but it’s country gospel… for Jesus. “You’re Here” is a welcoming prayer. Might be a Mary song.

Marc Sardou keeps the beat in the soul journey “You’re My Holiday”. Sincerely syncopated.

Kyrre Bjørdal Sæther’s “You’re My Holiday” is stadium pop from another land. It might translate better to You’re My Vacation, but it works for this time of the year.

LoveNote (Sterling Cade) is definitely digging Christmas in his “You’re My Holiday.” A bit more easy listening than R+B, but it tries.
