Every Atlas cleans house with the indie “This Christmas (I’m Letting You Go)“. That pronoun is plural; you’re all gone. Goodbye.

In “Shovel” By Surprise either wants you or something from you. Santa knows. And, there’s a lot out on the walk total care of. Lively club rock.

You are always on my mind, belabors The Martial Arts in their rocking “Snow Flakes“. There’s love in there, somewhere.

There is something about December/That makes me love her more than ever, coos Jeremy Lister in the jazzy cool lounge “Something about December“. Snuggle up, it’s going to get cozy.

Dustin Zell’s “Stubby Christmas” reveals a special gift behind the tree. Sadly, it does not stub, it stabs you. That was the knife, though. Then there’s the bat. For you. Or to be used on you. Ouch. Salsa pop.

On the other arm, Salem Ilese wants a “Thank You Note” for all the nice things she got you. Passive aggressive, i guess. Inisistent pop.

Sprawling all over the notes Roxie Maisel makes a fuss about you in the easy listening pop of “My Only Wish is for Your Kiss“. You may need a serviette after.

Ash Koley merges with the guitar to create great indie folk with “I Wish You Well“. She’s got the fam, but she wants you.

El Camino applies crooning Elvis-mode softness to “I Wish You Were Mine at Christmas Time“. Are you made of stone? Go to him!

Huey ‘Piano’ Smith and The Clowns conspire to sound like several different songs at the same time with the funky doo wop of “I Write to Santa Claus“. He wants you back, not diamonds or a shiny car.

Covered endlessly by way of copying Julie London, “I’d Like You for Christmas” has never been improved past the original big band ballad. Swum does a kooky dj mix, though.

Vina Verde whispers/speaks “I’ll Come Just for You” in a race with herself to wear her harmony on her sleeve. Can’t identify a single genre here, it’s everything–including weird.

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 “.

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’.

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.

Kruxy has candy and treats just for you. His “Christmas (In Your Window)” sparkles like badly sung kidsong. Then, twisting uncomfortable, causes you to reconsider and perhaps if you’re lucky forget.

More loudly than necessary, Chanté Moore declaims she’ll give “Christmas Back to You“. There’s right, there’s wrong, then there’s unleashed soul.

With rhapsodic AI, Killeen3000 portrays “Christmas by the Fireside” for just you and me. Easy listening lounge slop.

The Barefoot Man has a bitter pill to celebrate. With honky tonking slurring he presents “Christmas Comes Around Much More Than You“. That’s not too often. Yet he’s he’s still singing about it.

But oh will you be here “Christmas Day“? Interval wants to know in the indiest way possible. Whispered wonderings in the key of See Me!

Make Like Monkeys waited all year to spend Christmas with you. Now it’s here, so have a “Christmas Ditty“. Soft pop with a bit of oompah. Can’t wait.

Mariah didn’t invent the vocative case. Xmas songs have embraced love, esp. that certain someone especial since time 19th C or so. Let’s address him 0r her 0r xhey in the spirit range from groveling to anhedonia. (Not a lot of kidding around this month.)

R+B “All I Need Is You (Santa I’m Beggin’)” is Aryah losing her poop over the object of her affection. There’s dignity, then there’s diggity.

“All I Need This Christmas (Interlude)” puts more soul into the R+B. You’re all I need, vamps Dallas Rodin.

Bamtone tries for the two-way street declaring a pop “All I Want” if you want it to. Almost country two step, almost dance club.

French popster Cimrya Deal also wants you to know “All I Want“. Rocking bebop emphases the need.

A product of the Pandemic, Jamie Jones (feat. Pau)’s “All I Want” twists up R+B into tortuous pop with a dash of disco. It’s a frenetic longing.

Mike Krol hard rocks his boy band sound with “Won’t be Alone Tonight“, a plea more than a claim. But here we begin to address the obstinate confidence of the crowded.

When you feel Christmas’s a hassle, croons Blessed Hope, do something–like read the Bible, and feel the “Crowds at Christmas (Peace on Earth)“. Simple folk messaging that may bring on claustrophobia.

From Stephen Sondheim’s ‘Saturday Night’, “So Many People (at Christmas!)” considers the overpopulation of our planet–and how lucky I was to find You! As demurely sung here by Tracey Rea, this barely becomes a holiday carol… or a showstopper.

Cheesier pop (despite the rockabilly tendency) from The Bad Desires, “Not Alone (On Christmas Night)” anticipates the dissolution of separation and the reunion with a dear one. Or it was a dream about sugar plums misinterpreted.

Lugubrious and mournful, Mikael Englund, Árpád Solti sing “Bye-Bye to Loneliness“. This slo-mo easy listening welcomes friendship, but in the creepiest way you might imagine.

Tin can ukulele ragtime, “I Won’t Come Home for Christmas (Not Alone)” by Tracy Holiday is distractedly sad folk, but a bit of fun.

Glial Cell protests a bit much in “Not Alone for Christmas“. But the jazzy, bluesy self deluded pop is smile-forward; or at its least a self harming, hard drinking anthem. Call help.

The Heatless Among Us mock being “Alone on Xmas (Again)” with their satanic lite metal. Guys, you abandoned God first.

You can weep in the night, allows Len Francis Monahan, while “Being Alone for Crhsitmas“. Because no one’s there! Pretty easy listening with a bit of a country/Carrib beat.

Feels like every other week, raps lil Aaron in the modulated “Alone on Xmas Eve“. Desperation makes him almost change his monotone. Drugs help.Oh, and BLUE ALERT.

More lively rap from Mitch Murder (feat Santell), “Don’t Let Me Spend Christmas Alone” leans into R+B (and twee keyboarding!) for a hopeful moaning.

The Night Hobs get testy when they have “Christmas Alone“. Their affected vocals in this indie pop are tantrum-adjacent. So, perfect. Or, in their words: lame.
