Last year,
Phoenix New Times shared a little dash of holiday joy with our 12 Days of Christmas coverage. It was a chance to get to know some Valley stakeholders while sharing in the true gift of beloved Xmas music. That, and most folks clearly have a cutesy story about Jingle Bells.
Only this year isn t nearly as joyous and festive, and as we continue to isolate through the season, nobody s in the mood for caroling. So we re instead presenting a different kind of celebration: the season s most harsh and/or angriest tunes. Whether they re punching carolers, telling Santa to kick rocks, or partying with Satan, these songs are a way to honor the spirit of the holiday as it feels most appropriate to our collective 2020.
