I like Christmas as much as anyone, but I have to admit that there are a couple of songs out there that I absolutely hate. ‘Little Drummer Boy’ actually makes me angry when i hear it. The backgroung ‘Pumm pumm pumm pumm…’ is what gets me going. I hate that song!!! I also hate ‘Do You Hear What I Hear’, but not with the white-hot intensity as the Drummer Boy. C’mon people, speak up so I don’t look like the only Grinch 🙂 ---

OK, I love the little Drummer Boy (love the story of the song), but I loathe “Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas” and “Blue Christmas”. Hate 'em.

I like all of 'em – except the ones that I can’t sing along with cuz my singing voice sucks ass. Therefore, “O Holy Night” gets my vote as the worst. ---

The supposedly rock and roller version of “Frosty the Snowman”, I think it was sung by Ronnie Spector. Glass breaks when she launches into the chorus with “Fwosty the snowman…” (No, that was no typo, she clearly says - FWOSTY). Any time my sister wants to grate on my nerves, no matter the time of year, she gives her impression of this heinous version of the song. ---

## I loathe any Christmas song or carol that sounds exactly like another song or carol. Or maybe I hate the ones they sound like.
