Since February is extra-long this year, we cover some extra-long holiday songs for Leap Day! Are our lengthy selections from esteemed eccentrics Sufjan Stevens and Beck the hard-wrought work of master holiday music craftsmen, or just the product of some jolly screwing around?

By request this week, we add funny songs to the list by two comedy-music masters. But are they funny-ha-ha, funny-sad, or just funny-interesting? Ponder with us as we analyze "Christmas Is Interesting" by Jonathan Coulton and "The Night Santa Went Crazy" by Weird Al Yankovic. Thank you again to firehawk32 for this request!

As Valentine's Day approaches once again, we break out two original holiday songs for the lovers. The always-sensual Boyz II Men offer comfort (and rebound sex) to the brokenhearted, while Destiny's Child sing the praises of their boyfriends' gift-giving game, which is, uh, all over the place.

In honor of Chinese New Year on February 8th, we're reviewing holiday songs created in just the past year. Our selections are a bit preposterous - but are they dream, fantasy, or something in between? Ariana Grande's "Wit It This Christmas" and The Wizards of Winter's "Spirit of Christmas" are perhaps none of the above.
