Hmm.. this one is a parody.. "This Holiday Season" (also know as Christmas Sucks) by Porn Orchard which impersonates and parodies Peter Murphy and Tom Waits singing.. I cannot find the lyrics for the life of me right now though.. :/
Happy Holidays to you!

It's not exactly "gothic", but I have an mp3 of Klaus Nomi singing "Silent Night" and if you give me a few, I could probably find Danielle Dax singing "Blue Christmas"

When I was a wee one and did believe in religion...

I gave up on religion a long time ago. My path is spiritual which in my mind is way different from churchy religion. the religious types just as soon label me liberal heathan.

anywho... if i get on aim anytime soon i'll look ya up :)

eva's cover is the best off of excelsis.

speaking of which, that's 2 cd's full of goth christmas tracks, by all your faves. a few years ago, hidden sanctuary also did a christmas sorta-compilation thingie, although where you can find these tracks is likely going to be nowhere, since mp3.com folded. Lotsa good bands, like abney park and (ahem) gossamer, did tracks for this.
