I’m not sure how to feel about Xmas repeating like bad clams…. Please tell me how to deal with it, oh pop songs!

The Guinea Worms beat the hell out of the toy piano with “Oh F*uck, It’s Christmas Again.” Whether their hipster poetry figures out how to unpack their feelings is anyone’s guess. Angsty uncaring pop.

Dwelling on those we lost, Donfiora wants us to cheer up with her tinkly pop “It’s Christmas Again.” No, thank you.

The antiphony of “Merry Christmas Again” from The Young Republic play out the ins and outs of partying for the people. Sigh. Play it again. Fun pop.

Chris Farren (feat. Jeff Rosenstock & Koji) race up and down the rollercoaster of moods with the hard popping “Merry Christmas Again.” I’m sold, i guess.

Will you dance to celebrate the recurrence of Xmas time?

Slow one from Reuben Anderson. “Christmas Time Again” here is a hip grinder not to be missed. Soul slow, man.

The Irish Rovers know a thing or Celtic about the hard party. Refer exhibit “It’s Christmas Time Again.” Now dance.

Sharon Shannon & Wallis Bird get sock hop zydeco with “Christmas Time Again!” Line dance, y’all!

Wave your hands like you can tell time! You know when the year has rolled over you and it’s that time again. You know what it means. You know what to sing.

Drugged out slowly, Paul Sandrone/Christopher Mann croon through “It’s Christmas Again” like they’re getting paid by the minute.

Ordinary Language blues-rock the joy when “It’s Christmas time Again.” It may seem morose, but it’s merry. Count on it.

Heart is counting “The Last Noel” as a marker from the first. That’s a long time until Christmas again. But the plaintive folk pop makes its case.

The season can almost put us in a reflective, nostalgic sadness. Christmas again, whoa.

Steven Eaton is all maudlin all season looking over pictures and reminisces in “Christmas Again.” Jazzy, but more sad pop than blues.

Ryan Patrick and friends mine the childhood fields for their ethereal “Christmas Again.” It’s almost medieval in its look back.

Romance springs eternal, but winters year-by-year. Kimmie Rhodes whispers the country promise of “One More White Christmas” reminding her of every other one without you forever after. You breaking up with him?

Drakeford swings and sways but tinges the festivity of “Christmas Again” with pop bummer-ness. Don’t fret, kids, he’s keeping it forward-pointing.

Howzabout slow downbeat melodies that should remind us of the joy of the Christmas yet again?!

{A moment, if you please: “Hanukkah’s Here Again” as chanted by David Palomo takes the wind out of the candles’ sails while hailing the oil’s well wishes.}

The Ambrosian Children’s Choir make a Salvation Army bummer out of “It’s Christmas Again” from ‘Santa Claus, The Movie.’ Moving, but downward.

Your lyrics say nice, but “Christmas Again” is a disturbing invasion of melody. The Silver Screams mix the reasons for the season. Long repetitive outdo….

Christine Hand wants to wish you a “Merry Christmas Again.” The grassy folk belies the hopes and prayers. Sounds like an elegy.

Oscar Scheller makes a metronome of the music in “It’s Christmas Again.” This pop plodder still means to instill buzzy fun. Be open now.

Like a broken record, we keep hitting the same sentiment: Christmas’s return is good. Let’s roll with it.

Perhaps the hit R+B parody is a cue, by The Van Bloom Brothers sing (?) “Christmas Again” upbeat, yet seem to be scaring us with what will happen.

Classic ska from the ’80s maintains that when it’s “Christmas Time (Again)” we won’t have to go to school. So that’s good. But these orphans take what joy they can scratch from the cold hard ground.

Jason Hostrum uses electronica, sweet girl backup, and an odd downbeat to frolic through “Christmastime Again.” I’m drawn to it’s implicit sardonica.

Dialing it way down, let’s get nearly comatose as we notice Christmas comes around again.

Runner up in the George Michaels sing-a-like, YouKnowWho bepop “Finally It’s Christmas Again.” Erstwhile love song repels.

Peggy Lee softens the mood with a whispery, wafting wish when “It’s Christmas Time Again.” Isn’t that nice? (So sleepy now.)

Let’s try that again with Johnny Mathis. (Can’t keep eyes open.)

Even slower from Charles Billingsley. (Wha–wha– is it?)

Roger Whittaker might wake me up… “Christmas is Here Again” is a soft pop love song hoping for–zzzzzz.

Some of these again-Christmas bits i don’t mind hearing again.

Don Ho’s best Dean Martin impression is “It’s Christmas Time Again.” Super smarmy lounge long-notes. Ah-may-zing.

“Christmas Time is Here Again” by 1968 soul sister group The Flirtations is as much psychedelia as it is pop R+B. Groovy gravy.

Ringo Starr enlarges a piece of comedy from an old Beatles Christmas fan bonus disc in “Christmas Time is Here Again.” The repetition pays off for me in this pop music rock. Personal messages fill the ever-lasting outro (that’s oh-you-tee-are-oh). (For a more odd update, cf. Zen Fuse Box.)
