SIAP but my favorite off the beaten path Christmas song is It’s Christmas So We’ll Stop by Frightened Rabbit.

In a uniquely FR way, I think it really captures a certain mood/feeling about Christmas.

It's Christmas so we'll stop It's on with the lights to warm the dark It can cloak elsewhere As the rot stops for today Let the rot stop just for one day Only good red eyes, red suits, and faces will radiate And the cold will hide its face Now the cold is turned away We can be best friends with the people we hate 'Cause we've all got blood And it's warmer than you think Yeah it is warm and it is thick We all breathe out clouds We're built to give at least once each year Now that's better than never I guess And life might never get better than this With the perfect excuse for a naturist to change And wear shiny clothes Oh it's Christmas so press pause and we'll go Oh it's Christmas so we'll stop 'Cause the wine on our breath puts the love in our tongues So forget the names I called you on Christmas Eve In fact forget the entire year Don't reflect just pretend and you won't feel scared You won't feel a thing 'Cause it's all been tucked away And once you're tucked in bed You'll hold on to the day for the last few seconds Your cradledl face is protected from the wind And I'll protect you I promise I will And the rest of our lives will be just like Christmas With fewer toys You're a good girl I'm a good boy So I thought Oh it's Christmas so we stopped Were it not for the tick of the clock And the spinning of the Earth in space We could always be this way And as we sleep at the fall of the day In the room next door the tree lights brighten the rodents' eyes And catches a glimpse of the dust beginning to rise The next day life went back to its bad self The next day life went back to its bad self The next day life went back to its bad self The next day life went back to its bad self

Music board

Carve the turkey, turn the ball game on
Mix margaritas when the eggnog's gone
Send somebody to the Quick-Pak store
We need some ice and an extension cord
A can of bean dip and some Diet-Rite
A box of Pampers, some Marlboro Lights
Hallelujah, everybody say "cheese"
Merry Christmas from the family

For those who prefer “happy holidays” to merry Christmas.

You know the kids are in their sleepin' bags with every kind of toy
And Ken and Kay have hit the hay in dad's new La-Z-Boy
Fran has got a cozy spot beneath the Christmas tree
Sittin' in his underwear, drunk as he can be
…
Last night we stuffed our stockings and hung the mistletoe
When Santa Claus came knocking, he looked like Uncle Joe
Someone put the coffee on and find the Tylenol
Merry Christmas everyone, Happy Holidays y'all

Fwiw, James Gunn used both songs in the soundtrack of this year's Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special.
