==Overview== | |||
"The Christmas Song" was first released on the Los Angeles-area radio station [[KROQ]]'s 2000 edition of their annual christmas compilation, that year entitled ''[[Kevin and Bean - The Real Slim Santa]]''. It was then remixed and partially re-recorded with slightly different lyrics; this recording is considered the 'standard' version, and is the lead track on the [[Christmas CD]]. | |||
The song, along with its companion "Christmas Celebration", was performed live a handful of times at shows in late 2000, namely at [[Goat Punishment]] shows, the December KROQ ''Almost Acoustic Xmas'', and New Year's Eve [[Blink 182]] opening-slot gigs. | |||
