This week, Chris DeMakes and Chris Fafalios dive into The Kinks’ 1977 holiday classic “Father Christmas,” a song that manages to sound as punk as it does festive. It features sharp cultural commentary within the angry and funny lyrics, and despite its anti-holidays sentiment, it still brings about an undeniable uplifting feeling. Often called the godfathers of Britpop, The Kinks left a mark that still resonates, and “Father Christmas” stands as a perfect example of how a Christmas song can pack both attitude and spirit.
