I once saw the Sisters of Mercy around Christmas time and they changed the words of This Corrosion from "Sing this corrosion to me" to "Sing merry Christmas to me" and that version of the song has stuck with me ever since! One day I'd love to do that as a cover.

The bassist on that was one of Marcus Miller's students, forget (her?) name now, but it's a great bassline.

Christmas Wrapping is quite a cheesey song in my opinion, saved by having one of the all time greatest ever basslines, in any genre.

Dave Hofstra actually played on the record, Tracy Wormworth didn't join the band until after the record.

Just out of interest, have any decent Christmas songs been written in the last 20yrs?

This song by the lovely Thea Gilmore would get my vote...

I do like Aimee Mann’s weird Indie meets Hawaiian meets Native American meets cabaret approach to the classics on her One More Drifter in the Snow album...

and they say Eldritch has no sense of humour. Bet he even got an Xmas jumper out after the gig and washed down a couple of egg nogs.

Only tolerable Christmas songs are Julie Christmas songs:
