Be careful who you give your stones to right, but this is not a religious post?

Which rocker has the best non traditional Christmas song, or... who would you like to see hanging the ornaments on your tree?

I don't know if it's the BEST, but I've always gone with the Kinks' Father Christmas. When I was seven, I'd heard "Jingle Bell Rock" one too many times, and knowing even at that age how truly lame it was, I fired up Hotbot (remember Hotbot?) and searched for "Christmas rock song" and it was the first result. It's served me well since then.

Really, Christmas is a time commemorating a god (or a representative thereof, depending on your flavor of faith) coming to Earth for the express purpose of being killed; a sign showing that said god was finally getting of His ass and putting some skin in the game, as well as a demonstration of power and love. And when that time had almost arrived, the instruction to ritually incarnate and devour His body and blood. Then came the crucifixion and resurrection, showing that even death couldn't stop Him.

Christianity is metal as all get out, and there really ought to be some Christmas songs reflecting that.

Good point, i hope a lot of people read this & i don't remember Hotbot? Kinks probably win for sure!
