Stanley's Christmas Listicle

Something old, something borrowed, something blue and something new for Christmas? That sounds correct.

Here we have:

Old --> Celluloid: Best or worst Christmas films to watch.

Borrowed: Christmas cover songs by unlikely bands

New: Christmas themed stuff from a graze of recent release.

Blue: Random.

Celluloid

Die Hard is not a Christmas film. Not ending up on this list.

Krampus

Probably the most heartwarming story of the true meaning of Christmas. It's a classic.

Violent Night

What if Santa but John Wick. But not quite. It's like that.

I think this may be a Netflix film, but despite that it is still fun. It has thingy in it, Lily Allen's ex. I wonder if she has any opinions about him?

Santa Claus Conquers The Martians

Is this film suddenly more relevant because of the current political climate? Is it secretly a vintage gem that needs to be reconsidered? No to both these questions.

Gremlins

Why is this a Christmas film? Because it is.

Se7en

It's a Christmas film because he gets a present at the end. Christmas is all about giving.

Borrowed (covers)

Lady Gaga - Christmas Tree

Ozzy Osbourne and Jessica Simpson - Winter Wonderland

Thankfully I can't find a Spotify link.

Twisted Sister - Oh Come All Ye Faithful

By some definitions you could class Twisted Sister as a secret Christian Music group!

Christopher Lee - Little Drummer Boy

New

You'll Melt More - All Affirmative Concerto

Not on Spotify I am afraid. It looks Christian so it's probably Christmassy? There's crosses and stuff.

WayV - Eternal White

These handsome boys are singing a song called Eternal White, that sounds Christmassy. Let's watch the video.

...

Maybe not.

STARRY*NITE - Treasure Dreamer

Surely this song by a Thai Idol group will be festive because it's called starry night and it is almost Christmas.

Turns out cat's can't read YouTube titles and the group is called Starry*Nite and the song is called Treasure Dreamer.

Lets watch the video and read the AI generated subs.

Well the subs keep telling me this is a song.

Literally one of the lines was

"my heart will fart as loud as it can!"

Song of the year.

WISH - Wish You A Merry Christmas

Ok Korea show us that you understand the meaning of Christmas.

Artist name: WISH - Check!

Song Name: Wish You A Merry Christmas - Check!

Video ...

...

Well apparently the title is two thirds of the lyrics.

At least her heart has not farted ...

カジヒデキ HIDEKI KAJI - みんなでサンタにキスをした！ WE ALL KISSED SANTA CLAUS

I don't know what is real any more.

Blue

I'm a cat and I am colourblind. I don't really know what blue is.

hololive English - Last Christmas (Wham Cover)

No Spotify link

Hololive are a bunch of VTubers. Here is their cover of what is possibly the greatest Christmas song of all time.

Gayla Peevey - I Want A Hippopotamus for Christmas

Some people just want their two front teeth for Christmas. Some girls want a Hippopotamus.

She's done a few Christmas songs. They all of this quality.

Fountains of Wayne - I Want and Alien for Christmas

When they weren't all about Stacey's Mom the Fountains were all about this.

Jarrod Alonge - 12 Days of a Pop-punk Christmas

I don't know who this is. Nor do I know what this is. I very apologises.

Rise Against - Making Christmas

I misread this and thought Rage Against the Machine had done a Christmas song.

I thought Spotify had shortened the band name because young people today can't read long form text.
