From 2016, please enjoy power pop wiseacres The Dollyrots and their fabulously punked out update of "All I Want for Christmas is You."
I am chastened to admit that I had never heard the Mariah Carey original of this -- which dates from 1994, and which has a delightfully Phil Spector Christmas Album vibe to it -- until two weeks ago. Hey, I slept through the 90s, what can I tell you.
In any case, this cover version impinged on my consciousness a few days ago when I heard it on a certain intertube radio station which also plays The Floor Models.
In the meantime, you can find out more about these delightful kids and their music over HERE.

Nice one, Steve!
I always recommend Sparks' Thank God It's Not Christmas... which, in addition to much of Sparks' early-70s sound, Queen ripped off, sans the smarts and humor.
Merry Christmas, everyone.
