The website Alternative Addiction has announced the release of their first ever Christmas compilation, An Alternative Christmas. The album is available as a digital-only release with proceedes from sales going to charity.

One of the keystone songs on the album is the original Christmas song, “She’s A Ho Ho Ho Merry Christmas” from Long Island’s PATENT PENDING. The song showcases the band’s trademark, high energy, high fun form of pop punk rock as they put a humorous take on the classic Christmas idea that anyone can change for the better, including those with questionable ethics.

The likes of Better Than Ezra, Kill The Alarm, and Thriving Ivory also make appearances on the compilation consisting of covers of Christmas classics as well as new songs of holiday cheer.

Hurry and get a copy! The compilation will only be available until January 31,2009.
