1) Christmas were a band who recorded three albums of quirky neo-psychedelic pop in the late 1980s. Based in Boston, MA, the trio of Liz Cox (aka Miss Lily Banquette, vocals and bongos), Michael Cudahy (aka The Millionaire, guitar and vocals), and bassist Dan Salzmann released their debut album, In Excelsior Dayglo in 1986. The track "Big Plans" became a modest college radio and MTV hit, but the album, owing to Big Time Records' perennial financial woes, could not sustain the band's momentum.
The band relocated to Las Vegas, signed to I.R.S., and released Ultraprophets of Thee Psykick Revolution in 1989. Arguably their finest work, it featured another small-time hit in "Stupid Kids", and the caustic, satirical "Richard Nixon" earned critical attention as well. But the strange, though appealing, record seemed a bit out of step with the top college radio bands that year, and it sunk with little notice.
Christmas recorded Vortex in 1991 but could not immediately find a label for it. In the interim, Cox and Cudahy swapped tongue-in-cheek-psychedelia for tongue-in-cheek lounge music and formed the still quirky, but far more accessible and successful Combustible Edison together with Peter Dixon. When finally released in 1993, the bored-sounding Vortex made barely a ripple.
2) Christmas was formed in 1969 in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada, out of the ashes of the cult underground psychedelic band Reign Ghost. In July 1970, Christmas released an independent self-titled debut that brought some media attention to the band and a contract with the Daffodil Records label. In December 1970, less than six months after the release of the debut, Christmas released their debut Daffodil Records album entitled Heritage. Christmas was comprised of vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Bob Bryden, bass Tyler Raizenne, drummer Rich Richter, and Robert Bulger on guitars, all of whom were still in their teens. The album gathered good reviews and was well received by critics but it was not commercially viable because the long songs and hard rock sound. It became an instant favorite in the underground music scene just about everywhere but in Canada. Despite the international response to the album, Heritage proved to be the last release by the band under the name Christmas due to management problems and difficulty with the direction of the next album. Consequently, Christmas broke up in late 1971 only to resurface the following year, lineup intact, under the name the Spirit of Christmas. In the late '80s and '90s, the original Heritage album became a highly sought after collector's item, especially in the U.S.A. and Europe because of the band's unorthodox style and progressive influences.
3) Christmas was a short-lived UK based band called Christmas led by PJ Harvey's collaborators, Rob Ellis and Tim Farthing. They released a self-titled EP in 2001 on Morpheus Records. Their music placed the emphasis on atmosphere and pure evocation: mournful gothic narratives skated through mordent folky, psych landscapes.
4) Christmas are a four-piece from Malvern, West Midlands, UK. They play a gritty and minimal, yet melodic sludge/doom metal made of long drawn-out pieces, multiple movements and moods.
5) Christmas is an indie band from Medicine Hat, Alberta.
6) Christmas is a punk rock band from Olympia, WA. They released their first 7" on Endless Latino in September 2009. The members are Jake Jones, Emily Beanblossom, Patrick Michael Scott-Walsh, Dave Halegua. http://www.myspace.com/christmassed

But I don’t know if it feels right baby, but I know that I want it maybe
You and me baby got something going on
But I don’t know if it feels right baby, but I know that I want it maybe
Started from the bottom, going straight to the top again
Levels in the night and I struggle to remember them
Its been too long, too long, I’m singing, the same song,
The same song’s been playing
Change it up, let’s rearrange, let’s used tonight
Like the very first day, for one night, one night only
One night, one night only
I’m looking to find me
But I don’t know where I be coming from
And if you see me
Take a look around, take a long and tell me what I’m running from
And if you want me
Ooh, you better run along
I bet I’m losing my mind, I bet I’m losing my mind, for one night only
One, it’s just fun, and I’m not the only
I be on like two, it’s true, said I’m done with all of you
I was thinking like three, I’m free, bitch I’m done with all the lies
But I don’t know if I like it baby
Remember when you told me that you used to like the way I smile
I see it in your eyes even though it’s been a little while
I say that I can’t forgive you, had too many issues
Got me feeling so confused, too long, too long, I’m singing
The same song, the same song’s been playing
My heart knows what it wants so baby
Let’s change it up, let’s rearrange, let’s use tonight,
Let’s try again, use tonight like the very first day, for one night,
One night only, one night, one night only, one night, one night only
The lyrics to the song "One More Night" by Christmas reflect on a complicated relationship that is filled with uncertainty, longing, and a desire for temporary happiness. The singer acknowledges that there is something special between them and their partner, but they are unsure if it is the right thing for them. Despite the hesitation, they admit that they still want to pursue it, even if just for a short period of time.
The song begins with the singer acknowledging that there is a connection between them and their partner, but they question whether it feels right. They express a sense of longing and desire, unsure of where they stand in this relationship. The line, "Started from the bottom, going straight to the top again," suggests a history of ups and downs in the relationship and the struggle to remember the different stages they have gone through. They mention feeling lonely and singing the same song for too long, indicating a need for change and a fresh start.
The chorus reinforces the idea of wanting to break free from the monotony and uncertainty. The singer suggests rearranging and using the current night as an opportunity to experience something new, like the very first day of a relationship. This desire for one night only implies a temporary escape or a chance to rekindle the initial excitement.
In the second verse, the singer reflects on their own search for self and the confusion they feel. They question where they come from and what they are running from, seeking answers and self-discovery. They also mention that if their partner wants them, they should make a move and not waste any time. The repetition of "I bet I'm losing my mind" suggests emotional turmoil and the singer's struggle to make sense of their feelings.
Overall, the lyrics of "One More Night" convey a complex and tumultuous relationship where the singer is torn between the desire to move on and the longing to give it one more chance, even if it's just for a fleeting moment.
