:eek: I dare not. 
No - there are good ones. Specifically, there are two good ones.
Paul Kelly’s ‘How to Make Gravy’ and Tiny Tim’s ‘Santa Claus Has Got the A.I.D.S. This Year’

To me, the sweetest, purest Christmas carols are those sung by children.
I sung this one as a child, and although it’s not a SAD song, hearing it as an adult makes me tear up, but in a HAPPY way! :):
Enjoy:

Moving thread from IMHO to Cafe Society.
Prefer happy Christmas songs…like “Christmas At Ground Zero”.
The first time I heard the song, I had a “this has to be a joke” reaction; like some sort of Bob Rivers Twisted Christmas thing gone wrong. But about the 200th time I heard it I caught on that it really MEANT what it said and people reacted to it like it totally serious. From that point it became a thorn in my side and an earworm boring into my brain. There is so much Christmas music out there in all styles - why ride a few chosen horses to death year after year after year?
In my chorus’ upcoming holiday concert, we’re doing some really great songs . . . but we’re also doing that fucking shoe song. I suspect the kid took the money and ran out of the store to buy drugs.
You don’t like any post 1900 Christmas songs? White Christmas? Carol of the Bells? It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas? Home for the Holidays?
Eeeeeeeee! I LOVE that song! 
I hate virtually ALL Christmas songs, and they’re playing them ALREADY!!@%#^%*^@
WAAAAAAHHHHHHH!
Glad to help!
Since this seems to be a common phrase with you nowadays, would you consider using it as a sig line?
In a strange kinda way, I’d be honored!
Thanks

Sad Christmas songs. You mean, like “I Came Upon a Roadkill Deer”? Or “O, Little Town of Hackensack”?
I’ve never heard the shoe song, thank God. It sounds pretty awful, if the music is anything like those silly lyrics.
Good 20th Century Christmas songs has to include: Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas. Especially sung by Judy Garland, as in the movie.
Another one I can’t stand: *Hard Candy Christmas, *from “Best Little Whorehouse in Texas.”
I think the original “intent” may have been to show there are those less fortunate than some of us at Christmas-Time. “Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons”, for example.
Or maybe that some of us are spending Christmas without a significant other.
Well, okay-fine, but I don’t think we need it beaten into our skulls ad infinitum.
Confession: In my (much) younger days I didn’t mind hearing/playing these tunes, so maybe it’s cynicism?
Here’s something I used to like to do which y’all may find kinda strange: On Christmas morning, when there’s hardly any traffic, I like to walk the downtown square and look into the windows and just enjoy the peace of no cars, booming music, or (hopefully) no sirens.
It’s like it’s just me and it’s a very “tranquil” time.
Thanks

I hate the shoe song. I do love, OTOH, “Please come home for Christmas.”
That is easily my favorite song.
I like “Baby, It’s Cold Outside” but I can never find the perfect version of that song. I like Nick Lachey’s voice, but not Jessica’s. I like Zooey Deshanel’s voice in that version she did for Elf, but not the guy’s.
Well, just for you three then, 
my two current favourite Christmas songs (because I’m having fun “discovering” Jonathan Coulton).
(Youtube videos – both with machinima animation)
Yeah, Leon RedBone completely ruins that song.
… Holy Night…
…and the reason I am emphasizing those words is because whoever sings it, sings it just like that.
Don’t know who it is but it sounds like the guy’s going for a “blues flavor” which also ruins THIS one.

ETA: He also sings “Rown’ yaown vugin mutha and chile” if that helps to identify him?
