Music: Where Are You Christmas?

The standout song of this holiday season has got to be The Pretty Reckless's cover of "Where Are You Christmas?":

Of course, The Pretty Reckless is fronted by Taylor Momsen, who famously played Cindy Lou Who 25 years ago opposite Jim Carrey in the live-action version of How the Grinch Stole Christmas.
