Wind and rain didn't dampen the holiday spirit in Sunny Isles Beach.<p/> Despite wicked weather, hundreds of residents and guests turned out for the annual Sunny Isles Beach Winterfest at the 70,000-square-foot Samson Oceanfront Park, 17425 Collins Ave., on Dec. 5.

Two weeks into Christmas music season with two more weeks to go. If you’re anything like me, the old holiday standards have started to grow more than a little stale by now. Perhaps they have even started to become something you must purposefully avoid in order to preserve your sanity.

Dont’ get me wrong, there’s alot to love about this time of year, but
being surrounded by the same 12 or so holiday songs wherever you
go will do a number on the brain. Finding good seasonal alternatives is nearly impossible. Leave it to Berlin based CIRCLESQUARE to valiantly attempt to fill the void. His new track
“Untitled (For Christmas)” is most likely one of the least cliche,
but highly listenable holiday tunes I’ve heard in a good while. In true
holiday spirit, CIRCLESQUARE is offering this track as a free download. In my opinon, it’s a smartly arranged piece of pop music, not to mention a good change of pace from the seasonal music madness.

After years of steady seasonal exposure, holiday songs now have the
power to creep into your subconscious. For instance, “Little Drummer
Boy” has slowly become the soundtrack to my life. I first heard it
innocently wafting through my favorite corner grocery. The next day it
blared out suddenly from inside a landromat. It’s been the accompanying
score to at least two elevator rides. It even made a guest appearance at
my favorite Halal food stand’s boom box, before I finally caught myself
humming and parumpumpumpumping down 5th Ave., completely unaware of what
I was doing. It was not pretty. Don’t let it happen to you.

If I were to announce the release of every Christmas album that will be coming out this year, the amassing levels of “holiday spirit” would have a drastic effect on my liver as I would have no choice but to reach out to other types of “spirits” to drown my disgust at the horribly over-commercialized holiday season. But, there is one album coming out this year that definitely won’t have me wrapping a garland noose around my neck. This season, I will be filling my habitually pessimistic holiday with the pomp of Aqua Teen Hunger Force’s Have Yourself a Meaty Little Christmas.

The characters of the widely popular Adult Swim program have put together an album that takes a stab at the banality of traditional holiday songs. Join Meatwad, Master Shake, Frylock, Carl, and others as they sing their own versions of classic carols filled with their own lack of moral character and conscience. Strangers will definitely inch away from you on the subway as you croon along to tunes like “I Sure Hope I Don’t Have to Beat Your Ass This Christmas,” the highly suggestive “Jingle Bells Deep,” the self-loving revelation of “I’ll Be Home for Christmas,” and the extra special duet between Meatwad and Anti records recording artist, Neko Case, “Santa Left a Booger In My Stocking.”

Have Yourself a Meaty Little Christmas will surely make for an interesting Christmas season rivaling that time when great-aunt Ginny had that “episode” a took off all her clothes while visiting Santa at the mall. This album is the perfect accompaniment to nights of egg-nog fueled drunk-dials to high school acquaintances in an effort to tell them how much you hate them, want to bang them, or both. Indeed, this is one Christmas album that will have you singing, “Oh, holy…to-NIGHT!”
