The penultimate holiday song would be about...

Praising Jesus for saving us from eternal death, but also asking for his return so we can have an age of debauchery full of alcohol fueled orgies with Santa. And it's snowing, I guess.

I'm a school bus driver. Last Christmas a notice went up on the garage board stating that Christmas decorations on the buses were now banned. It was stated that some of the non-Christian parents in the district were objecting to the Jesus aspect of the holiday, although none of the drivers had done anything to their buses other than the standard secular stuff like Santa and the reindeer and presents and shit.

It eventually came out that it was only one parent, and that the bus driver culprit was me - because I had asked my kids to stop singing the same two Christmas songs that they knew and asked them to instead learn "The Little Drummer Boy" which is like the only Christmas song that I actually like. It was especially ironic because I'm a fucking atheist and I just happen to like the melody and structure of that song.

Every other parent in the district went batshit over the decoration ban and it was quickly rescinded, with our director of transportation and our superintendent playing a hilarious game of blaming the other for imposing the ban in the first place. Both have since been replaced.

Damn... Can't believe you oppressed Christmas like that.... 😓 Jesus will be very sad 😠

Par rumpa pum pum motherfucker!

Wow, that's absolutely terrible. And Little Drummer Boy is a fantastic song with a good message (give from the heart) regardless of your religious beliefs.

I think in the category of "i want shit" is I want Santa's life

[–] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 28 points 2 days ago

There's also that one about how stinky Batman is.

Which category is You're a Mean One, Mr Grinch?

[–] dandelion@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 1 day ago

the song does incorporate critiques of materialism, so broadly "i want shit"

[–] Donkter@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

All of the above. Apotheosis.

That falls under the "Santa's horny" category

As the least religious person, I still find the last type to be the least annoying.
