I promised not to

I promised myself not to write anything on the topic of Christmas music. Most new material is pretentious or just rotten, and a lot of the old stuff has lost it's flavour.

Besides, who will ever make a better Christmas song than Little Drummer Boy or Happy Christmas?

But, then I heard The Christmas Duel by The Hives and Cindi Lauper. The opening lines (I bought no gifts this year and I slept with your sister) and the Phil Spector inspired production just made my day!
