I, Scanner Emily, am a fan of the classic Christmas carol. I still get chills every time I sing "O Holy Night" and save for "Grandma Got Runover by a Reindeer" am not so into the contemporary comedic Christmastime song; if I have to listen to anything written in the last 100 years, I much prefer something like Christmas in Hollis. So last week when the bass player in my band handed me a CD called "Charlie's Christmas Compilation" I was a little worried. He asked me a few times if I'd listened to it when I hadn't. I felt bad and was curious to hear what was on it, so I broke down and put it on. I heard a few songs I knew including Robert Earl Keen's "Merry Christmas from the Family" (another one I can't help but love because it rings so damn true), and a few I didn't, including what is now my favorite bad contemporary Christmas song, "Santa Lost a Ho" by the Christmas Jug Band.
I apologize that this video with a terribly long intro is the only version I could find to embed. Just don't pay attention to anything before :56. Then enjoy.
