Oh, wow – ya gotta know this is the best Christmas song EVER: “I Killed Santa” by Wes Johnson and his crew! It’s hi-larious and sticks in your head as it makes you dance down the street. Check it here if you haven’t already heard it: http://ikilledsanta.com/

“I Killed Santa” gets my vote. Easy one.
