“Christmas Wrapping” is the greatest Christmas song ever

There’s simply no debate. It manages to encapsulate the urban dweller tendency to view the actual tradition apprehensively, while simultaneously acknowledging that it’s a prime time for drinking, parties and general socializing. While everyone else goes home to the Midwest to spend time with family, everyone else in the cities recognizes they’ve pretty much got the place to themselves, and there’s kind of an unspoken awesomeness about it. It’s like in college when you’d stay in town through the summer, but it was a totally different place.

The other acceptable answer is “Christmas With a Capital ‘C’”.

The only ethnic types we support on this sub are Italianx, so no Ir*sh relationship drama tunes here ^(but it's actually a great song)

On a similar note, Last Christmas radiates gay energy. Like it’s inextricable from the song itself. It is the quintessential gay Christmas song.

I always get bummed out when I hear the Taylor Swift version, because it's such sad white girl energy for a tune that is both so wistful and sassy.

I was going to downvote you for being obviously wrong but then you did show your work. Minus a couple points for not backing up your argument here with reliable sources but otherwise a good response to the assignment. 86/100.

Any chance on getting that rounded up to an A if I include a references section? Granted, it mostly consists of "GuyFieri2, Probably. (2021). All 'Bout Deez Nuts. Deez Nuts Quarterly, 15(3), 17-25.", but it was an extremely insightful source.

Also that bassline is incredible

There is no reason it should be as good as it is given it's a Christmas tune, but holy shit is it in the pocket. Absolute 1.

Unironically, this is a damn close second, but I also associate it most with Less Than Zero, which I have mixed feelings about.

It definitely scratches an itch that no other Christmas song does. It's super happy in spite of how cynical and un-Christmassy the delivery is. I also really love The Darkness's Christmas song lmao.

King Night by Salem is my fave Christmas song tho

No. It's annoying as fuck. All it does is go duh-da-da-da, duh-duh-duh and it never stops. It's like being trapped in a funhouse.

it’s so good and the waitresses are so cute (i know what boys like is so fun)

the song was originally made for this Christmas record which also has Christmas songs by Suicide, James Chance, Alan Vega, and Cristina (my #1 Christmas song tbh)
