Is it getting under your skin, yet: this endless repetition of Xmas? Does it sand your chaps, golly your wog, irk your twig? If not, then imagine listening to truly awful songs about it.

Crusty cornball country from Kelly Nolf & Wyndi Harp equate fundamental religion with romantic love in the ticktock strummer “I Believe Again.” No i don’t get it.

Is that ‘Swanee River’ smushed in to some odd carol by Donivc? Only you can decipher by listening to the unasked for “It’s Christmas Again.”

The Hamsters from Hell sling the blues in “Oh No It’s Christmas Again.” A handy rostrum of restroom graffiti taunts.

Cathy Jones queues up the choir with her trembling warble of “Once Again It’s Christmas.” I suppose the song is about something, but how is one to tell?

Is it that Christmas again theme again?! Botheration!

BLUE ALERT punk from Last Seen Laughing warn you won’t make it since it’s Christmas again in “The Great Christmas Plot.” Warned be ye. (If you do make it to the end of the song, it gets danceable.)

“How Can It be Christmas Again” gently folks Terry Scott Taylor. Oh he’s put out. You can bet on that.

There go the days of our lives bemoan Let’s Talk Figures in their lite rock bit o’ fun “Christmas Again Already?” The mixed media doesn’t help, guys. Sing!

When that time of year re-presents itself, some are given upside the head reminders that they got nothing compared to all others. “The Christmas Song” is a rocker of regret from Slowride–except for you, my dear.

The Sowell Family Pickers pretty up the bluegrass with “It’s Christmastime” (they mean again). Despite the todo they’re just fine with it all (I guess ‘cuz o’ God ‘n’ all) . So’s the music.

Can’t stop the Christmas music. Or the holiday from swinging back atcha again.

[A moment please, while Barnes and Barnes disarmingly soft pop “Kwanzaa’s Here Again.” Despite the sweetness and muppet growls, this is an existential cry of pain.]

Time for us to have some fun, purrs Rupaul when it’s the holidays again. Love returns in the electro-pop “You’re the Star (On My Christmas Tree).”

Peter deRoyce brings the music to bear when he compares Xmas to a drug in “Parang in Meh Vein.” Yes, the Caribbean serenade to wake you and make you party all night goes on and on. For 12/25. Again. Just go with it.

The return of Christmas is reminding me of something i read in a book one time. Let them tell you.

“Let’s Have a Merry Christmas” is Mark Hand’s way of saying through somewhat dreary pop music to AGAIN give a hand to the King. Of Kings. It gets real repetitive.

Kiana Valenciano recounts the whole Jesus significance with “Once Again It’s Christmas.” this Childs version of easy listening is hard to sit still for. So kneel.

I’ll barely squeeze in the off-putting easy listening gospel annoyance of Brenda Russel and Howard Hewett with “Christmas Will Return.” They ring the rafters with song, but my ears are smartin’.

Then i should also let in Travis Cottrell’s grandparent-friendly smarmy pop “Once More.” Christianity is all about the guilt.

Jeff Stevenson and Ray Shell get all surfer pop to led you to the Lord in “It’s Almost Christmas Again.” Cowa-buon-natale!

Aaron Lindsey gets more animated with his gospelly “Christmas Time is Here Again.” Lots of instrumentation, but the R+B goes all disco–prepare ye.

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!

Cheer up! ‘Tis the Season to do that! Again!

Steve Gregory & Michel Fenderwoods as International Language attempt the up with “Christmas Will be Magic Again.” The pop crooning loosens stubborn crankiness what builds up in the heartstrings.

Struggling with the English language The Kavanaughs laud the bits and pieces of “Christmas Again” with bouncy rocking pop music.

P’raps too English The Transmitters find the prize in the Christmas cracker in their “Christmas Again.” Britpop tinged with a bit of the ol’ punk. Pain begone!

Giddy garage pop from Fruitcakes rejoices and “Can’t Believe It’s Almost Christmas Again.” I could almost explode!

Island jouncing from Kevon Kurt Carter praises the sharing and caring (and cooking) of “Christmas Once Again.” Yea.

Did someone lay the blame on the return of Xmas blues at the door of the bank? Is it debt, that’s worryin’ ya, Johnny?

“Broke Again This Christmas” is Mike Rob howling offkey about trying to keep up with your wishlist, baby. Painful ballad. Then bad rap.

Country pop from Retrotech (is that a metronome?) worries the season with “Broke Again This Christmas.” Is there a light at the end of the shelter?

More to the point, punk whinging from The Mansfields allow they’re “Broke on Christmas Again.” Didn’t expect much other.

Jordan McAlinden winds down the Britguilt with a lighter pop number “‘Tis the Season to be Broke Again.” Don’t gamble it away, Da!

Mobius VanChocStraw lays down legit blues with “Broke Again for Christmas.” He’s outta money, honey (yours as well). Same ol’ story.

The wheel of time turns and crushes those unable to keep up. Mad yet?

[Sidebar: Stanley Adams and Sid Wayne debate the merits of “Chanukah is Here Again.” This Wenceslaus parody mostly leans pissed, though. Oy vey.]

DDC is BLUE ALERT put off by “Christmas Time Again.” Angry, yet melodic, punk.

Patch is seething in “Christmas Time Again.” But parang is so party perpetrating, we’ll drink to that.
