"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 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]]''.

Noticeable differences in the two versions are a cymbal count-in on the original (removed for the remix), and a short bit of final drums on the remix that was inaudible on the original due to an early fade. | |||
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. | 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. | ||
