A Not So Terrible Christmas Playlist

We put together a few of our favourite Christmas songs—from The Raveonettes to The Beach Boys—so you can take a well-earned break from "All I Want for Christmas is You."

Yes, "All I Want for Christmas is You" is an incredible song. It's infectious, it's nostalgic, and it makes people act all crazy-like which is usually pretty entertaining. But even you've got to admit that you need to give it a rest every three to six hours—and not just by playing the cover from Love Actually.

Don't worry, though. We've taken the liberty of putting together some of our favourite Christmas songs for you, so that when the time comes, you won't need to rack your brains for years trying to think of just one other Christmas song that exists.

From Paul McCartney's flange-y pop carol "Wonderful Christmas Time"—which divided critics and audiences but still gets us going this time of year—to She and Him's surprisingly great and not-surprisingly sweet "Christmas Wish," this is Noisey's Not So Terrible Christmas Playlist.
