Brian Lim wallows in the alone with the jazzy indie “Season’s Change”, a light metaphor for being left. Then continues with the salsa beat jazz pop “New Year’s Eve”, an invitation to make him plussed one.

Cold, snow-covered footsteps, unenjoyed fire… The Moody Blues lament “A Winters Tale“. Prog indie that asks, if a song is sung in the forest does it make a difference?

Make Like Monkeys take Wham’s “Last Christmas” and reimagines it with a boss retro beat. This is a whole ‘nother way suffer! No one should be lonely at Christmas!

“A Lonesome Prayer” by 3JS is a cowboy pop tribute to the sad sacks who get nuttin’ from Santa’s sack.

Encore! Okay, Make Like Monkeys’re back with “Found Love for Christmas“–more retro pop on the verge of breaking that whole alonely curse for the holidays.

Chancellor Arnold sings “The Christmas Song” about hurt and emotional distance. But it’s preppy indie with a drunkenly pronounced rhythm. You explain that.

Concave Onion’s “Funky Time Christmas” is technically about an unattended tree and unrequited wishlists, but it stands up via funk. So that’s weird.

Nyco Nemesis wants to share the warmth with you. Why? Because “Winter was Lonely“. New Age indie with atonal girlishness. I don’t know what that means.

“Christmas will be Just Another Lonely Day” pops Brenda Lee contrasting your joy to her boy-lessness. It’s a slow dance. Go figure.

Picking over the bluegrass folk, 30 Pounds of Bone scry “You Can’t Break Up At Christmas (So Let’s Get It Over With)“. That’s the saddest banjo i ever heard.

One of the funniest country numbers i ever ran before, “Break Up Before Christmas” from Corey Hunt and the Wise advises the men out there how to manage their holiday budget.

Dude York’s “Break Up Holiday” is rock that deserves a rewind as well. Classic.

Also inordinately fond of “Breakup For The Holidays” Migratory Animals, a brazen electronic pop in your face.

Jellyrolling the ragtime Goldentusk pulls out the piano bar stops singing “I’m Breaking Up with You for Christmas“. But he’s just telling you now, so what’d you get him? (Rotten to the encore.)

“Christmas Without You” is an over serious skit by Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton, but that’s just right for corporate country western.

“(It Just Can’t Be) Christmas Without You” is a gentler folk pop from The Four Oh Six All Stars. But then they all join hands and sing together. What th-

Swinging cool, Michael J Handley croons through “Christmas Without You” like it’s you suffering, not him. Blasé the Lord.

James and Mark jumble up the electronics with shouted feelings for “Christmas Without You“, a blast from the ’70s. An excellent mess.

Surf’s up! “It’s Just Not Christmas Without You” from Malibooz wipes out gently against the breakers of breakups.

Victoria Justice (Tori), Elizabeth Gillies (Jade), Ariana Grande (Cat), Leon Thomas III (André) spritz up cheesy pop for the Disney TV’s “It’s Not Christmas Without You“. You have the right to remain silent.

Dealing with a negligent rat bastard Katherine McPhee self deludes that “It’s Not Christmas Without You.” Soulful, yet clingy pop that may cause cringe.

Bebopping the pop Jorden Milnes · Steven Mcgill set the scene for “Our Fairytale Christmas“. There may be some distance, as well as some allotment of blame.

Dan Dyer wants to know if you’ll forget him gain “This Ex-Mas“. He’s prepared to cry in this percussive rocker.

Prozzak retros the pop with “It’s Just Another Christmas Without You“. They blame the stove, the sidewalk, and the season while floundering in single-tude. The singing cheers them up, so there’s that.

The “Countdown to Christmas Without You (Remix)” by Naika Oko & Oshy R+Bs the isolation pretty hard, as well as just prettily.

For Linhy “December Without You” is too long, cold, and empty. Sweet R+B-ish pop.

For Amy Grant “December” without you is blurry, trembly, and wrestle-y. Pop country-ish limpness.

“Christmas Without You” pushes Tommy Page to sing louder than the pop music. Guess he’s too broken up about your absence to be heard.

Bruce Smith rallies with “Christmiss“, a jazzy rock number about fighting the wrongs and hoping to pick up her trail.

Make Like Monkeys save the roster (again) with a peppy “Don’t Let Christmas Come Without You“. Boss retro pop ballideering.

Charles Brown is lonely for you despite the choirs, toys, and bells. In “Christmas with No One to Love” he’s slinging the blues.

Unless I’m with my girl, said, I wanna be, I wanna be left alone, wails Gerald Levert in “Christmas Without My Girl“. Despite the first notes sounding like the Star Trek intro, this R+B gets lugubrious.

Jacquees is more casual with his “Christmas Without You“. I really shouldn’t be this sad, he tosses aside in this protesting too much R+B.

Measured and miserable Dan + Shay pop up some R+B to note that “Christmas isn’t Christmas” (if it’s not with you, you see).

Bobby Helms And Johnny Paycheck twang the strum slowly with “I’ll Place My Order Early“. See, Santa needs to get him back with his dear one. Definitely country.

Even if you were here now, I’d still be through with you, sniffs Griffin Zoar in the soul stitched together with easy listening diatribe “Christmas Time to Get Lost“. He don’t care, kiddo. And you can’t make him.

More lovelorn from SWMCLB sets cuckoldry to boogie woogie with the odd “Christmas Sucks (Without You)“. There’s the blues, then there’s this.

The Roundheads rock unapologetically “(I Can’t Stand Christmas) Without You“. Talkin’ bowchu, bae-bee.

Mike & Brian (feat. Marlee Perez) are really splitsville (thousands of miles!) when indie rocking “Missing You This Christmas Time (2012)“. The attempt is upbeat.

(Marchelle Bradanini as) Pony Boy divas the distress in “(Please Don’t Leave On) Christmas Eve“. Country gospel rock with an edge.

Classy Motown cranks up the tears with Dominic Glover’s “Christmas Isn’t Christmas” without you. It’s a party! A pity party!

Beth Crowley vamps up the pop with a tragic fallout from a Hallmark movie breakup. “You Ruined Christmas” is fun at being mean.
