The Killers: Ranking The Christmas Songs From Worst To Best

6. A Great Big Sled

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-nse84xIpE The Killers' first yuletide anthem was a pure celebration of Christmas. A joyous, beaming smile of a song; A Great Big Sled captures not just what Christmas means to the band themselves, but what it represents to adults everywhere. But it isn't all pure glee, and Flowers still does a great job of positioning Christmas in its modern place. The verses have Brandon in a considerate mood, wondering how enchanted kids grow up to be disillusioned or disappointed adults, before the song's choruses speak to the uniting effect Christmas has on so many people. The final lines of the chorus are positively joyful, and represent a near-perfect for all of your festive instagram snaps as December rolls on. Grab the Santa hat, trim the tree and prepare your best prideful smile; just let me take flight, dressed in red, through the night on a great big sled. Hashtags not required...
