"Do they know it's Christmas?" Far (feat. Chino Moreno and Grady Avenell)
A bunch of Sacramento bands put out a Christmas covers album to support a school music program and inadvertently created the greatest version of this song — mostly because it's not got Bono on it. I wish this supergroup had released more music.

I have a kettle that allows for different temperature hot water; 70°, 80°, 90°, or the traditional 100°C. I like to use the 70°C to make coffee so it's immediately drinkable but still hot and doesn't burn the grounds leaving a bitter taste.
Unfortunately, the kettle has developed an intermittent failure. Sometimes, but not all times, it will just tick off leaving warm but sub-desired temperature water.
I have a few options here, bearing in mind I am not an expert on kettles or, indeed, boiling water.
This is a true story but also it's about Generative AI.

"All I Want for Christmas is You" by My Chemical Romance
My Chemical Romance are exactly the right sort of outlandish camp emo for this cover. Who else could do Mariah justice?!

About a third of the way into this film I realised two very important things; 1) this isn't a Christmas Film and 2) that guy is not James McAvoy.
The absolute worst kind of cosplay Irish stereotype –how Americans think Ireland is– because sure it's a wall-to-wall stout drinkin', jig dancin', sheep shearin' country where honest to goodness Saints wander the countryside just waiting on giving out wishes with a traditional caveat emptor.
Lindsay Lohan stops this from being a 1 — not through stellar acting or anything, just because she carries a lot of goodwill over from The Parent Trap and Freaky Friday.

Happy December!
Here are a few photos from my phone from the last month with neither rhyme nor reason to the theme.

"Lonely This Christmas" by ¡Los Campesinos!
Originally by Mud, this laconic miseryfest was an ideal candidate for a Los Camp cover.
