Me Christmas albums have been * [Saw Mommy Coughing on Santa * The First Noel... to receive a $230 fine
released over the many decades. Claus * The Twelve Days of Transmission

They are comprised of the same repetitive | * O Little Town of Covid + (There’s No Place Like) A Crowded

songs sung by many different artists. + Frosty the Asymptomatic Snowman Yaletown Condo for the Holidays

My favourite Christmas album is Elvis’ * OCome, All Ye Infected + Anti-mask song: You’re a Mean One,

Christmas Album, which includes + I'm Already Home for Christmas Dr. Henry

the King’s legendary version of “Blue + Santa Claus is Not Comin’ to Town + Feliz Navidad... less than two metres

Christmas.” But in the spirit of 2020, + All I Want for Christmas Is for You to bad!

here is a new Christmas album witha Wear a Mask * Here Comes Santa Claus... into ICU

pandemic theme that will never see the * Have Yourself a Very Isolated Little * Grandma Got Run Over by a Ventilator

light of day. However, if you are bored Christmas The Little Quarantined Boy

due to COVID-19—you can sing these + It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like

wonderfully rewritten versions (and write Yesterday

your own lyrics too) of songs that once + Baby It’s Covid Outside
