The Killers - Don't Shoot Me Santa

[@CHIIIEEEEEEEEFFFFSSS]

This song does such a great job of conveying that feeling you get when you're begging Santa not to kill you.

This song, The Four Seasons and Dwight Yoakam’s version of Silent Night always get me in the Christmas spirit. This one is different than the rest or the others, but still bring me to tears.

[@hadihabib1484]

I first heard this song when I was in high school and one thing that stood out to me was the way he says “Believes me” @ 3:35. Ten years later I’ve stumbled upon this song again and I just waited for that moment in the song. Just love it.

[@Sticks_And_Glue]

That always stood out to me to, it’s so special.

[@RobyntheRobin]

I really like that part too, along with his "woo!" at 3:14

That isn't irony. Maybe you could call it ironic if the song was asking the listeners to shoot themselves but it isn't and the song doesn't have anything to do with Christmas music being bad.
