Here is a small collection of seasonal songs from a band I discovered this year and really like.

The first song is from The Killers about Santa Clause when you are on the naughty list.

Then there is a song about presents and a sled:




A different kind of Christmas song from The Killers and Elton John.


Finally, "Tranquillize" just because it is such a cool song:



MERRY CHRISTMAS

Scriptural References to the Family Proclamation
