    The Official XavierHoops Christmas Song

    Enjoy, especially if you are unacquainted with the best Christmas song ever:

    Excellent post American X!! Great song and I love the Pogues. Had a buddy turn me onto them in college. I think I'll hoist a Guinness tonite in their honor.
    I'd rep you if I could figure out how!

    Amazing...

    Nothing beats a singing this song in a run-down bar, near closing time, with a hellacious snow-storm outside. That is Christmas to me.

    However, it's also quite the acquired taste.

    Excellent choice, nonetheless.

    That is a great song from a great band but I think this song is better suited for the degenerates that frequent XH: Fathe Christmas by The Kinks.

    Also, if you are into indie music and other music similar to The Kinks and The Pogues, I'd suggest you check out woxy.com's Holiday Mixer: link. Has played both songs on this thread as well as other great versions of Christmas classics.

    Merry Christmas everyone.

    Not just one of the greatest Christmas songs, but one of the best songs, period.

    They did a documentary on how the song came about. It's on you tube in six parts - here's the first part. I watched it a while back - pretty interesting if you're into the Pogues.

    I forced myself to tough it out for an entire minute. Now I've ruined a shirt with the blood flowing out of my ears.

    Below is the real XavierHoops Christmas song - Be Claus I Got High.

    Now I'm afraid to click on anything! Merry Christmas, indeed.
