Last week we had a Christmas embargo on the B-Sides - this week, well, not so much. We've got Christmas lights, Christmas conventions and animals in Santa hats (as you might have already noticed).

Because though the run up to Christmas can be a tired and tortuous affair, the actual few days before the big man was born it all changes and Chrimbo jollity is nigh-on compulsory. So put on your reddest hat, your itchiest jumper and dive into the Asylum B-Sides Christmas special, after the jump.

Make your own very ugly Christmas sweater

If you're going to have an ugly Christmas jumper, you might as well go the whole hog and do it properly. For a step by step guide for Nan next year, look no further – you'll be strolling about in one of these babies all year round.

Desaturated Santa at San Francisco's Santacon

As Wikipedia puts it, SantaCon is sometimes known as Naughty Santas, Cheapsuit Santas, Santarchy, Santapalooza, and Santa Rampage – and basically consists of a flashmob of people in Santa Suits. Here's one lady who went black and white for the event. A double B-Sides thumbs up for sheer originality there, for sure.

100 animals in Santa hats!

If there's one thing the internet likes more than Rick Astley singing 'I'm Never Going To Give You Up' it's dressing animals in clothing – and Christmas time is no exception. So here goes, 100 animals in Santa hats. Gets the stamp of approval for sheer time spent making it...

Last Christmas - The literal version

Ever wondered what George Michael was really thinking as he sang 'Last Christmas'? Okay, probably very few of you, but now you can find out, whether you'd wondered about it or not, what the big man had in his head – with, needless to say, chucklesome results.

Orchestrated Christmas lights

Saving pennies during these tough economic times, one town in the US decided to orchestrate their Christmas lights to save money, but certainly not time. Put it all to a tune and you've got some internet Chrimbo gold.

Flair Bartending World Championships

And finally something that doesn't really have anything to do with the festive period – besides the fact that we may well get a likkle bit drunk over the next few days. Marvel as a man dances with booze – no seriously, marvel your arse off, it's amazing.
