Will anyone ever come up with a new (original) xmas song??

[Burtog]

I saw something appauling on the tele yesterday, it was Mariah Carey feat. Justin Beiber, her 'All I want for Christmas' tune with him rattling over it in a vocoded voice........................he's shit!

I realised that we listen to the same xmas songs EVERY year, usually from the 70s or 80s or earlier!
Either that or we get a new version of an old song.

I can't remember the last time someone penned a classic xmas tune, it must be Simon Cowell's fault I reckon.

Where are they??

EDIT:Songcrafters aside obviously!!

Political correctness happened. You can't sing "Christmas" songs, they are offensive unless they existed previously.

who's actually going to sing:

Xmas is the time of year
we drink eggnog instead of beer
this holiday season is the best
Uncle Ralph wore his dress
Saw my neigbors nativity scene
the only spot in his yard was green
Not a manger or wise man in sight
nobody followed a star that night


etc.

Small tins of fruit, Did one Tony, Have'nt you heard it...lol

You'd better watch out, you'd better not cry
You'd better not shout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is dead. Details at eleven.

  Some made up titles to fit the current season.

• T'is the season of spending (more than you can afford).
• Shop till you drop.
• Cash register bells.
• It's the most commercialized time of year.
• Jingle boobs.
• To a boxing day sale we will go.
• Credit cards blazing over an open swipe machine
• 12 days of shopping

Over the eons I've really grown to despise this time of year (except for the couple of weeks I get off)

I'm probably not going to get anything for Christmas this year.

In my letter to Santa, I mentioned that I like to hunt deer and I asked for a new rifle.

ORH, does the term "red rotten" mean just routinely terrible or Extra-Super-Plus Bad?
