Well, friends of the metal persuasion, that time of year has rolled around again. The holiday season is upon us, time to show up on doorsteps with your electric twangers and sing songs about roasting nuts, burn down churches, and, most of all, it’s time to avoid all your repulsive metalhead friends that might have the nerve to expect a gift. But for those of you who just don’t seem to have that flare for hiding in your closet for two months straight, here are some wallet-emptying items they’re sure to find amusing.

| ‘Twas The Night Before Christmas, ‘Orange Is The New Black’ Style (Video)
1823’s “‘Twas the Night Before Christmas,” also known as “A Visit from St. Nicholas” and “The Night Before Christmas,” by Clement Clarke Moore is perhaps the best known holiday season poem. The characters of the hit Netflix original series Orange is the New Black got together to recite the poem this holiday season, though they gave it their own little unique twist. Their version is titled “‘Twas a Night in Litchfield,” and you can watch the video, and even read along with it, below.

| ‘Star Wars’ Villain Darth Vader Is The Ultimate Grinch In “Darth Santa” Christmas Short
A new short has been released titled Darth Santa that brings together Christmas and the Star Wars universe. And no, it has nothing to do with the infamous holiday special. The short features everyone’s favorite Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Vader taking over the job of Santa Claus, and not doing a very good job of it at all. In fact, Vader is a real grinch, playing pranks and generally wreaking havoc wherever he goes. It’s basically The Nightmare Before Christmas if Vader took the place of Jack Skellington, though intentional. The music used is even an impressive fusion of Star Wars music and Christmas music, including the Grinch’s song from How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Click on over to the other side to check out the video, as well as a bonus making-of video.

| Neighborhood Syncs Lights To Music For Christmas Celebration (Videos)
If you’ve ever been on the internet (that’s this fancy doodad you’re using now), you’ve more than likely seen a video of a house synchronizing their holiday lights and decorations to music. We’ve seen it done using video game music; we’ve seen it done for non-Christmas holidays like Halloween; we’ve seen some good, hard metal used; and, most recently, we’ve seen a very cool Star Wars-themed lights show. On this Christmas Eve we have for you just some lights set to Christmas music. That may sound a bit boring, sure, but the catch here is that an entire neighborhood got in on the action and synced all of their lights together. They filmed the results using a drone, and then capped it all off with a pretty spectacular little holiday celebration that will make you wish you lived there. All that’s missing is some good snow falling. You can see all of the videos below.
