Topic: LEAST Favorite Chritmas Songs

Cam's "Christmas Songs" thread prompted me to start this one.  What are your LEAST favorite Christmas songs?
Here are three off the top of my head:

-  Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree
-  Jingle Bell Rock
-  Santa Baby.

I'd rather be strapped to an amplifier at a Justin Bieber concert . . .

Okay, maybe not, but I always avoid these if I can.

Re: LEAST Favorite Chritmas Songs

It appears you like traditional christmas songs.  Nothing wrong with that.  That's what we grow up with.  I do like a lot of the non-traditional ones, such as your list.  I don't know if there are any I dislike.  While I am not a Bieber fan, I did see him on a couple of Christmas shows recently and he appeared to put on quite a show.  I actually enjoyed him.

I have finally found happiness in my life.  Guitars, singing, beer and camping.  And they all intertwine wonderfully.

This Christmas

It's a very special Christmas. 

Blah, blah, blah

The lyrics make no sense.  The sentiments are artificial.  The lesson of the song has nothing to do with Christmas but to add pressure to the holiday.  Yuck. Yuck. Yuck.  Yuck.

In general you're right, but I do like lot of the newer ones.  Just something about those three in particular which grate on my nerves.

I turn the tuner when Frank Sinatra comes on no matter what song.

I agree.  I just heard over an alternative radio station, Bela Fleck and the Flektones playing a "Charlie Brown Christmas".  It was awesome.  I love classical christmas tunes on guitar. 

As for certain tunes I loath and despise....Little Drummer Boy tops the list.  And now added to it, is the car commercial that uses, "It's the most wonderful time of the year."  As in; "It's the most wonderful sale of the year." 

Thank GOD for mute buttons.  GGGRRRRRRRRRR

All I'm going to say, I WILL NEVER buy a nissan car, EVER.   The Subaru "summer" commercial is also on the list of ads that deserve extermination.

Re: LEAST Favorite Chritmas Songs

This is my take on the "It's the most wonderful time of the year". 

It's the most wonderful time to drink beer.
with parents a sale-ing
and children all WAILING
in stores everywheeeeeeeeeeere
It's the most wonderful time for A BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER!

I call it my ode to Black Friday......OY

Right, that is it............ I have taken you OFF my Christmas gift list.

How can anyone say that 'Rocking Around the Christmas Tree' is bad. Well maybe the song itself is not so hot but it was sung by the absolutely gorgeous, incredibly sexy, stunning songbird, and love of my life - Little Miss Dynamite herself, Brenda Lee.

Re: LEAST Favorite Chritmas Songs

My least favorite would have to be 'Grandma got run over by a reindeer', I tend to like more traditional christmas songs, but even they can wear thin by the time christmas rolls around.

Re: LEAST Favorite Chritmas Songs

Agree with you Cam...  Grandma got run over...   too dumb..  I like the traditional stuff myself..   oh, and that one with the barking dogs..  jingle bells maybe?  Not only dumb but really annoying.
