I'm really struggling with this one. The Vandals' album made me laugh at least. Anyone?

Father Christmas by the Kinks

ELP - Father Christmas
The Pretenders - Must Be Christmas Time
The Kinks - Father Christmas

Not sure about those titles, but I like all of them.

Is this close enough?

Springsteen's Santa Claus is Coming to Town isn't completely awful. The song itself if a little lame, but he Bosses it up pretty well.

Did Creed ever put out a rocking album in celebration of the Lord Christ's wickedly awesome birth?

Who doesn't love these lyrics?

Father christmas, give us some money
Dont mess around with those silly toys.
Well beat you up if you dont hand it over
We want your bread so dont make us annoyed
Give all the toys to the little rich boys
