OK. Pretend you're over twenty, you live alone, nobody invited you to their christmas party, and no girl will get in ten feet of your apartment. And the last thing you want to hear are jingly carols shrieked out by happy little orphans. What you need is to hear jingly carols shrieked out by your favorite punk bands! Yesindeedee (Ramone, that is). So decorate the tree with empty beer cans, write your name in the snow, hang up that mistleto and soon you'll hear ho-ho-ho!

This is the only Xmas album you can play even when it ain't the season. Especially "Daddy Drank Our Christmas Money" by TVTV$ (if anybody knows how the hell you're supposed to pronounce that band's name, please e-mail me), Pansy Division's "Homo Christmas" (wait 'til you hear it!), The Dickies hilariously awful variation of "Silent Night" and of course the Ramones' I-don't-wanna-fight-on-Christmas jingle.

Have a weary Christmas and a sloppy New Year!!!

This is a pretty good collection of punk Christmas songs. It opens with a fun novelty song that is not by a real punk band. Then we move on to the real punks. The quality of the material varies, but some of the best cuts are contributed by the Dickies, Sloppy Seconds, the Greedies and (naturally) the Ramones. But my personal favorite here is "Homo Christmas" by Pansy Division, which is hilarious. I have to mention the contributions by a couple of guys who are not usually associated with the punk genre. El Vez, the "Mexican Elvis", performs a surprisingly credible thrash punk version of "Feliz Navidad". And Mojo Nixon performs an unsurprisingly sloppy rewrite of "Louie Louie" called "Christmas Christmas". It's not really punk, and it's not really good. It sounds like an outtake from Mojo's lousy Christmas album, although it's not. If you are a fan of punk, especially "old school" punk, you should enjoy this.

This review is written more for the parent looking for something to buy their punk musically inclined offspring for Christmas. Nutshelling it - if someone likes punk music, they will like this CD. So if you are looking for a Christmas gift for the hard to buy for - this should fill their stockings with glee.

It is a great XMAS album for punk rock fans and any one else with a sense of humor; you do need a sense of humor for some songs especially Homo Christmas which isn't exactly Bing Crosby (although do people still mosh pit? I am pretty uncool). Anyway, this is just what it says - A Punk Rock XMAS album. There are a lot of rockin songs from right off the start, with It's Gonna Be A Punk Rock Christmas by the Ravers to the final version of White Christmas.

Tired of hearing what he heard, stupid damn bell songs, and white christmas? You need this albulm. Make the season sound like you feel it.

I love this collection of Christmas tunes. I have been playing this for about 20 years! Back then there were only 12 songs. I am not a real big fan of Christmas carols in the first place, but when the kids start begging to hear Christmas songs - these songs not only take care of their craving, but I find myself caroling away with them to provide a real nice family activity. If you do play these songs around kids, you would be well advised to give the whole CD a good listen BEFORE - to be aware of when you need to shout out cover lyrics to avoid seeing those young, joyous faces turn into innocent shocked faces. Personally, I have two particular songs I edit for the kids. The last 15 seconds of the Fear song (for obvious reasons,) and Pansy Division in a couple of select areas.

This collection of punk rock Christmas songs is great. It is a wonderful, high-energy, guitar-heavy alternative to the holiday fluff on the radio. Warning -- some songs not suitable for your kids, but you'll love 'em.

This CD is so great. It gets me through Christmas every year with its alternative slant to the traditional Christmas songs.

Not your average Xmas music. If you like your Xmas music to be warped, funny, fast, loud, rude, brainless & insane than this CD is for you!
HAPPY EFFIN CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I collect Xmas cds ranging from classical to punk. This is definitely the harshest Xmas album I own. However, I do enjoy it. Don't plan on playing this at the office especially in the uptight Midwest. Track 3 is one of the few remakes of that song ever done anywhere by anyone. Track 7 is also very unique and wonderfully irreverant.
