"Is This Christmas?," The Wombats (Roadrunner)

These guys are a lighthearted rock band from Britain, and this 2008 single appears to have been grafted onto the American release of their album A Guide To Love, Loss and Desperation. It's a delightfully exasperated and snarky look at the holiday, bracketed at the front and back with Salvation Army horns but in between going all Buzzcocks on us. Great power pop-rock for your holiday, and something your friends aren't likely to have heard.
