Every year, I try to find new Christmas music to act as an alternative to the usual songs played on repeat. I seek out songs with a sense of fun that subvert familiar holiday themes or even have an anti-Christmas message.

This year’s pursuit of something different was made easy as a publicist who read last year’s collection of songs reached out to me with the song “Christmas is B.S.” by JC Cassis.
