      Yeah, Christmas at Ground Zero didn’t really hit the same after “ground zero” became tied to 9/11.

    Finally a christmas thread where I can answer with passion: August Burns Red - Flurries

    Volume: 11/10

    It’s an instrumental, but nobody in their right mind would claim that it’s anything but a Christmas song.
