Call me whatever grinchy names you want, but I am going to admit something: I do not like Christmas music. I do not like traditional Christmas songs. I do not like covers of them. I do not even like newer Christmas songs, for the most part.

But, of course, there are a few exceptions. And while I was mighty skeptical of any cover of "Santa Baby", the country gals of Nice Horse managed to put a smile on my face with their new rendition (the whiskey in the opening line probably helped).

They call themselves "the Zac Brown Band in miniskirts; the Runaways at a hoedown; the Spice Girls on a whiskey bender" and I certainly can't argue with that. So while we keep waiting for their first proper single, let's all forget the eggnog (it's gross, Team Antinog), grab some whiskey instead, and have a listen.
