The Rebel Black Dot Song of the Epiphany
Barenaked Ladies & Sarah McLachlan, "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen/We Three Kings" from Barenaked For the Holidays (T.L.A.M.)

Commentary: I lament all the years I wasted on the foolish belief that Christmas ended on Boxing Day.

"God rest ye merry gentlemen,
Let nothing you dismay.
Remember Christ our Savior
Was born upon this day,
To save us all from Satan's power
When we were gone astray,
O tiddings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy,
O tiddings of comfort and joy."

...

"King forever, ceasing never."
