Today on #PunkChristmas -
Die Roten Rosen's rendition of "Stille Nacht, Heilige Nacht," from their holiday album "Wir Warten Aufs Christkind." It is a #punk cover of one of the oldest and most recorded Christmas songs - originating from Salzburg back to 1818 when Franz Xaver Gruber wrote the music to the text by Joseph Mohr.

This version, by none other than the legendary Die Toten Hosen from Düsseldorf (under their festive alias), is especially amusing because it flips "Silent Night" - typically a soft, peaceful carol - into a lively punk song, full of energy and... well, far from silent.

Today on #PunkChristmas - "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" by Dropkick Murphys for a punk twist on a Christmas classic from Darlene Love!

This song captures the essence of a punk rock Christmas. It's a perfect blend of nostalgia and edgy vibes - infused with the band's signature energy and Boston/Irish flair. And Al Barr's vocals really shine here. 🎄

It is Friday, I am feeling feisty, so drink some #Eggnog and crank up your favorite holiday music.

For me, my favorite holiday music is the Spotify #PunkChristmas playlist

#Oi to the #Punks #Oi to the World

Fuck Fascists and Punch Nazis.

today on #PunkChristmas - the legendary Mighty Mighty Bosstones with "This Time Of Year"

It originally appeared on "A Santa Cause: It's a #Punk #Rock #Christmas" Immortal Records compilation in 2003 and is probably the greatest original (i.e. non-cover) ska punk Christmas song.

In fact everyone should listen to more ska - every ska song just makes you feel happier. After all, even sad ska songs sound upbeat!

It's 1st of December, so time to restart my #PunkChristmas hashtag.

This is an obvious classic - "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" from Darlene Love, but of course in a #punk version - and covered by The Offspring.

I mean, can there really be anything better to do for Christmas than listening to The Offspring?

Brenna Red is the frontwoman of LA's The Last Gang, and a co-founder of (sadly, now the defunct) band Civet (one of my all time favorite #punk bands).

In 2016 she released, as a solo artist, this catchy "Punk Rock Christmas" song. Guaranteed to put you in a good mood!

NOFX is one of the bands that defined the skate #punk scene in the 80s/90s/00s and of course they recorded several holiday themed songs too.

They are known for their firm political stance and "New Year's Revolution" is one such song too.

"Next year is gonna be bad
The next one even worse
That's not called pessimism
It's just the truth that hurts"

Despite that, the song actually has a positive vibe to it and calls for change.

"I Won't Be Home for Christmas" is a quintessential Blink-182 funny - funny lyrics, catchy chords and lots of energy.

It opens up with:
"Outside the carolers start to sing
I can't describe the joy they bring
'Cause joy is something they don't bring me"

And we then follow the protagonist through his Christmas adventures.

"It's Christmas time again
It's time to be nice to the people you can't stand all year"
