A Pearl Jam Christmas Album

Hey guys! Long time, no post. I'm putting together a Pearl Jam "Christmas" playlist, featuring Christmas/Holiday related songs from Pearl Jam. I don't know why, but I got the idea a few weeks ago and I figured there might be JUST about enough material out there to put together a single album's worth of Pearl Jam Christmas tunes.

What I have is...falling a little short. I was wondering if anybody could think of any other songs that fit or might fit.

Here's what I have so far:

1) Let Me Sleep (It's Christmas Time)
2) Ramblings I
3) Ramblings II
4) Angel (Angels are Christian, it's a Christmas single. Yeah, it's a stretch, but I figure it fits. Kind of.)
5) Drifting (Again, it's a stretch, but it's a Christmas single and Eddie says "Merry Christmas" at the end.)
6) Don't Believe in Christmas
7) Santa God
8) Jingle Bells
9) Someday at Christmas

Is there anything else I'm missing that's kind of Christmassy? Any help would be appreciated!

    Do you think Strangest Tribe would qualify? I've never really thought of that one as a particularly Christmas-y song.

    Angels are pretty common in Christianity. Christmas is a Christian holiday. Like I said right after that quote, it's a pretty loose justification.

    Ah yes loose justification :wink: I realize not the point of the thread but I know for certain that there are other religions non Christian that believe in angels and people who don't identify with a religion who believe in angels. Anyway back to the point. I agree strangest tribe should be on a Christmas play list. Just has a cold outside feeling to it. "It's 5 below, in evidence...."

    What about wish list ? I always felt it was Christmas appropriate, Even the cover art of the single with the fireplace.

    I totally think of it as a Christmas song. It reminds me of growing up in the Midwest when a really cold, winter storm would blow through at night when you're trying to sleep. There's some of the streetlight coming through the curtains in the window and the wind is howling around the house.

    Red Dot.


    For uh... Rudolph's nose?

    I actually do think it could fit. And Arc and LBC (take the reigns) and it's all about love and stuff.

    I'm one of those atheists who's still a sucker for Christmas :)

    Well more than half the planet doesn't even celebrate Christmas...does that means we shouldn't do the album?

    Strangest Tribe for sure.

    Not a Christmas song, but Acoustic #1 might have a good feel on there as well.

    Crown Of Thorns could work.

    Wishlist would be a good one too.
