Just discovered this EP on its 2008 re-release, though the band notes on its MySpace page the disc was originally released in 2006. Strangely enough, the title song isn't performed on this brief collection; what is here is surf-rock versions of "Greensleves," "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies" and "Our Favorite (Christmas) Martian," which to my ears sounds like a takeoff from the theme to the TV show of the same name. Their "Feliz Navidad" brings in a bit of Latin rhythm, and their original "Road Kill Christmas" has a bit of Dan Hicks and the Hot Licks to it. Nicely done.
