AceShowbiz - If you think "Merry Christmas from the Family" is about a kid-friendly family gathering during the holiday, then think again. Released by Robert Earl Keen in 1994, the country Christmas song revolves around a fairly dysfunctional family whose Christmas celebration includes drinking alcohol, carving a turkey and smoking cigarette. Even Keen called the song the "Rocky Horror Picture Show of Christmas Song."

Despite its not-so-innocent lyrics, "Merry Christmas from the Family" actually received a lot of love from people to the point where Keen eventually released a sequel to the song titled "Happy Holidays Y'all". The singer additionally published a book based on the Christmas song in 2001.
