New Wave Christmas songs?

Discuss hard-to-find or out-of-print New Wave and '80s Alternative, and share a few songs along the way.
NOTE: requesting songs that are entirely unrelated to the genres discussed here or easily found on CD is strongly discouraged and posts will be enforced as needed.

Does anyone have ANY christmas songs (any genre) they want to share? I just went through my christmas cd's, and it's a pretty barren set.

I think anything that is in the "spirit of Christmas Music" falls into this category. Merry Christmas Mr.Lawrence in the context it was implied from the movie wasn't necesarily "Christmas" but the spirit and the kindness was intended to show Ryuichi that he couldn't break Davids "spirit" in the movie.

Does anyone here have Paul McCartney's "Simply having a wonderful Christmas time"? I never come across it on any of his greatest hits cd's. Yeah, I know it's not new wave. I like the cheesy thing anyhoo.

REM - "Toyland"

Altered Images - "Happy New Year," which was a promotional thing to the tune of "Happy Birthday."

Saint Etienne have a song called "I Was Born on Christmas Day."

Here's the 1976 single version of Greg Lake's "I Believe in Father Christmas." I usually refer to it as the "pretentious version" because it's orchestrated and full of choir renderings. This is NOT the version that is readily available on the E-L-P "Works" compilation.

Enjoy?
