Dropkick Murphys' "The Season's Upon Us" will get you ready for Christmas ...
if you're not feeling too holly jolly! Christmas is fun and all, but sometimes all the family time can be a bit much . Boston's own Dropkick Murphys took on the subject matter in festive fashion back in 2012 when they released a video for their original Christmas tune "The Season's Upon Us." The video is classic DKM shenanigans, replete with Irish dancers, plenty of booze, a poster of JFK, and, yes, a dog with a cigarette in his mouth.
If you've grown tired of the classic heartwarming Christmas carols, Dropkick Murphys are here to save the holidays: The season's upon us, it's that time of year Brandy and eggnog, there's plenty of cheer There's lights on the trees and there's wreaths to be hung There's mischief and mayhem and songs to be sung There's bells and there's holly, the kids are gung-ho True loves finds a kiss beneath fresh mistletoe Some families are messed up while others are fine If you think yours is crazy, well you should see mine My sisters are wackjobs, I wish I had none Their husbands are losers and so are their sons My nephew's a horrible wise little twit He once gave me a nice gift-wrapped box full of s***.

He likes to pelt carolers with icy snowballs I'd like to take him out back and deck more than the halls With family like this I would have to confess I'd be better off lonely, distraught and depressed.
