The Kinks are regarded by many as one of the greatest rock bands of all time, so it's only fitting that they would have given us one of the greatest Christmas songs of all time. "Father Christmas" is a tale that's just as relevant today as it was when it was written in the late 70's, probably because that's the last time things sucked this bad. It's about a department store Santa Claus who is attacked by a group of kids who tell him to keep his toys "for the little rich boys" and instead ask for jobs for their fathers or, failing that, machine guns. Man, England in the 70's must have been so awesome. Happy Christmas!
