"Every year, American culture embarks on a massive project to carefully recreate the Christmases of baby boomer childhoods."

Funny thing is for me...

Christmas music is like 30% Traditional, 2% new picks and 58% snowy video game music... and 10% Phineas and Ferb.

My favorite Winter-y video game music has to be:

  • Winter Tundra - Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage
  • Freezeezy Peak - Banjo Kazooie
  • Ice Cavern - The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (Kinda sounds like something from the old Rudolph special.)
  • Ice Cavern - Spyro the Dragon

And for P&H, We've got S'winter and I know it's cheating but the Let It Snow cover isn't all that bad either. And I really don't hate Christmas.

Killing floor 2 has a really good metal/synthetic cover for carol of the bells

I've been wanting to remake this chart for a long time.. So I made one based on the first 20 of Billboard's "Holiday 100 most charted songs"

Are you saying that industries such as the automotive industry exploit nameplates born in the 60s? I thought the Charger, Challenger, Bronco, Mustang, Blazer and Ford F truck were all original names and designs.

What about Last Christmas? That's from like the 80s
Also Simply Having a Wonderful Christmas Time

Fuck boomer Christmas. Claymation sucks. Charlie Brown is boring. Frosty should've been left to melt. And 'It's A Wonderful Life' bombed at the box office for a reason. Just because it was dirt-cheap for TV stations to air during the Holidays in the late '70s/'80s doesn't make it good.

Lmk how your inevitable life-changing journey with a magical Christmas creature goes

It'll have a different vibe when the starving polar bears attack

Would you say everyone who likes that stuff should be boiled in their own pudding and buried with a stake of holly through their heart?

I agree about Charlie Brown and the Rankin/Bass TV specials, but It's a Wonderful Life is a great film that has stood the test of time.
