So Christmas is fast approaching. We have one more #MusicMonday from now till #xmas. I love this time of year! I also enjoy a bit of Christmas / Yule Music from time to time. My favorites are the not so traditional Christmas carols.
With that said if you're a holiday purist, please don't get offended by these selections. As a matter of fact, just stop and wait till next week when I post the more traditional holiday music. This post is in good fun and not meant to offend anyone.
I first fell in love with the not so traditional side of Christmas music listening to somafm.com Christmas In Frisco channel. https://somafm.com/xmasinfrisko/ They have several stations of holiday music. My other favorite is Holiday Lounge where they remix xmas songs into trip hop and house melodies. My second favorite station this time of year and it's been a Christmas morning tradition in our house for several years now. https://somafm.com/christmas/ So if you're looking for some fun streaming xmas music you might want to check those out.
For my first MusicMonday not so traditional Christmas selection we have
Dropkick Murphy's - The Season's Upon Us
This video always puts a smile on my face. The family in this video is relatable! 😆 🤣
Twisted Sister - Silver Bells
Heavy metal memories of my childhood. I grew up listening to Twisted Sister and this is another holiday favorite bringing back fond memories of my early teens.
I Am Santa Clause - Iron Man Parody
Sticking with the heavy metal theme, here's a parody of of I Am Iron Man by Black Sabbath. I think this is hysterical!
Santa Clause is Pagan Too
Alright, as many of you know The Dood is pagan. I generally bring that up each year during the Yuletide season. This is one of my all time favorite holiday songs but really seems to piss off a lot of non-pagan folk. Don't get your Christmas stockings in a knot. It's all in good fun. Many holidays traditions were culturally appropriated from other traditions. I think there's room for everyone, and this is all in good fun! Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and blessed winter solstice during this Yuletide season.
Death To The World - Cthulu Carols
I've saved the best for last. This is the other one that seems to really upset people but I think it's awesome. I'm a huge Lovecraft fan, and if you do a YouTube search on "Cthulu Carols" you can find a ton of Christmas Themed music based around the mythology and stories of H.P. Lovecraft. Good fun if you're looking to add a little bit of macabre fun to the holiday season.
I promise next Monday I'll post more traditional Yule and Christmas themed music for everyone to enjoy. I hope you found this post in good fun and weren't offended. I think one thing I've learned over the last decade is everyone really needs to lighten up and quit getting so offended by everything. We can all get along and it's OK to poke fun at stuff from time to time.
Wishing you all a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS, happy holiday's, blessed Yule, a wonderful Kwanzaa, a delightful Hannukah, and bright blessing during this solstice season!
