Here's some holiday cheer, courtesy of The Kinks: Father Christmas [YouTube]. It's off of their 1978 Misfits album. (Although, if you're gonna get a Kinks album, you should either get one of their best-of collections (which will have singles like You Really Got Me) or get their somewhat Beatles-esque Something Else by The Kinks. For some reason Death of a Clown is one of my favorite songs. I don't know what that says about me. :P)
As they said on a restaurant window in Istanbul, MERRY CRISM.!
Update: Since this Christmas post was a bit of a downer, here's something to cheer you up: A mashup by DJ Earworm called No One Takes Your Freedom. It's Scissor Sisters (Take Your Mama) vs. The Beatles (For No One) vs. George Michael (Freedom '90) vs. Aretha Franklin (Think)... and yet it sounds like it's all meant to go together! Especially at the end, when they actually get the vocals from all four songs going at once! Wow. This is probably the best mashup I've heard.
