Ya know, I have been able to catch quite a bit of Christmas music in my many hours in the house this holiday season and in my few trips to the store. There is a station here in Chicagoland that plays ALL Christmas music 24 hours a day for what may be more than a month before which I do like to put on from time to time. There are a few Christmas songs that make me really cringe or change the station. In mentioning this to me husband or my sister, I learned that what makes me cringe does not necessarily make them cringe and vice versa. So here it is, my most hated Christmas song, ready? My Grown Up Christmas Wish by Plus One. Agh! So lame, I can hardly stomach all the lyrics just thinking about them. Anyway, my sister hates a song that I love (Dominick The Donkey) and so does my husband (A Wonderful Christmas Time). Anyway, just thought I'd put this out there so anyone else can vent there most hates Christmas song. Sorry by the way if you live that song. You feel free to rip on mine if you like, two of my favorites are Rocking Around The Christmas Tree and The Christmas Song to name a couple. AND I love The Charlie Brown Album by Vince Guaraldi. OR you can mention your most hated non-Christmas song too, mine is Crocodile Rock (and it was number one on the charts when I was born). There, I feel much better. Go ahead, give it to me :) Oh, anyone like that soldier talking song? Is it a song if you're talking? Anyway, anyone?

I too can't stand that song! WAY over-played and sappy beyond words. My most dreaded Christmas song would have to be the Christmas Shoes one, which is right up there with lame stupidity (aren't they sung by the same person?!). I mean, the kid's mom is dying, why does she need shoes?!
From the sounds of the lyrics the kid could do witih a new pair of shoes, coat, gloves, etc... and he's still alive and relatively well.
I get what they're trying to point out about the spirit of giving (which I'm all for), but shoes that won't be worn?! Come on.
Sometimes giving to those in need is over-commercialized during this time of year and it really makes me mad. It's like cashing in on someone else's pain so someone else can feel all warm and fuzzy for helping them. Why not donate to charities a little all year round?
Sorry about the tirade. I love Christmas music so much but I really boil over when the sappiness is overdone. Give me Handel's Messiah or Trans-Siberian Orchestra anyday!
