Alternative Christmas Playlist

Yeah, you know this song.  Or at least you think you do.  Have you ever actually sat down, closed your eyes, with the headphones on, and listened to the lyrics of "Mr. Grinch?"  Seriously.  Do it.  This song is as punk as it gets.  "You're a triple-decker sauerkraut and toadstool sandwich, with arsenic sauce."  Those are actual lyrics in the song. How can that not make you smile when thinking about all the crap you have to do before Christmas Day? 

DISCLAIMER:  This list will likely be offensive to people who should be offended by the gross over-commercialization of Christmas, but aren't.
