In case you’ve never heard it, [here’s](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=h1TTnPdZOZI) the song. (If you have limited time, [here’s](https://www.lyricsfreak.com/c/christmas+songs/grown+up+christmas+list_20674489.html) just the lyrics 😉 🙂 .)

But it’s timely anytime of year. Oh, yeah. And Kelly Clarkson does the best version (she really belts it out 😉 🙂 ).

Now I have to ask. You guys here are always so critical. Is there anyone who would say that they _don’t_ agree with the song? Just had to ask 🙂 .

Thoughts? Opinions? 🙂

IMO it is sickeningly sweet glurge.

I knew that someone here would find fault with it 🙂 !

So, what do the rest of you think?

I’ve heard worse Christmas glurge. At least no footware for dying relatives is involved.

I enjoyed it. (I also enjoy “Man in the Mirror”).
