For our column Jams We Love, we're turning you onto the songs that keep us going every day. To get into the the Christmas music game, we put together a list of fairly weird holiday songs so you can give yourself a break from Mariah's "All I Want for Christmas Is You," and other seasonal standards. Enjoy!

6. Culturcide, "Depressed Christmas"
With a melody lifted directly from "White Christmas," this sullen paean to holiday repulsion will definitely appeal to all of 7x7.com's more nihilistic readers.
