Kansas City boasts its fair share of talented musicians. And when they turn to making music for the holidays, the results can vary from hilarious to thought-provoking.

Kansas City, MO – Making Movies' Enrique Chi talks aboutTormenta, a song that wasn't really intended as a Christmas song, but rather a political rallying cry.

And the Phantom (aka Kemet Coleman) explains why he created a whole Christmas-themed hip hop album, The Night the Phantom Stole Christmas.

Plus, excerpts from I'm on a Sleigh by the Mikey Needleman Band (a parody of that popular Saturday Night Live skit), Still, Still, Still by David Bennett, and Merry Christmas to Me by Heather Thornton.
