I hate “do you hear what I hear” and “The little drummer boy”
When I first heard the Christmas Shoes I laughed and groaned at the same time.
Also- Celine Dions version of “So this is Christmas”
How can this thread have gotten this far without anyone mentioning All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth? Or I Ain’t Gettin’ Nothin’ For Christmas? Talk about a glurge-fest.
I agree, Diceman. Those two songs are too cutesy for my taste
I need to nominate *Away in a Manger[’/i]. Apparently it’s written down somewhere in the annals of Lutheran ideology that, every year, all Kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd grade students must sing this song at the children’s Christmas service. Worse, they must sing all three verses of the songe, when nobody knows the words to verses 2 and 3.
I would elaborate more, but this is CS, not the pit.
I thought that I was the only one who heard this. This song gets my vote, as well.
Definately “The 12 Days of Christmas.” Not only is the tune just bad and irritating, what’s all this with the birds? I love birds but with four cockatiels, four conures, two ringnecks and God knows what else I could do without Swans a Swimmin’, Partridges eating the pears, and whatever Colleen birds are. And add into this Leaping Lords and Dancing Ladies? My true love would have definately been into the sea with concrete shoes long before the twelfth day.
Also “Chestnuts on an Open Fire” or whatever that silly twaddle is called. Newsflash: the chestnut trees died, the only thing people roast over an open fire anymore is marshmellows, and when Jack Frost nips your nose you don’t sit there waxing sentimental about it , you turn the f–in heat on!
How come nobody sings about turning the heat on and putting on storm doors and NOT taking sleigh rides with a bunch of poopy horses when God gave us heated cars?
I want that damn hippo to bite that damn little girl in two.
“Last Christmas.” That is, if it counts as a Christmas song.
I cringe every time I hear the Stevie Nicks version of “Silent Night”.
“Do They Know it’s Christmas” by whatever conglomeration of artists who participated in that piece of sap so that they could pretend they were doing something about world hunger and feel good about themselves.
“Christmas is the Time to Say ‘I Love You’”- Billy Squier and the MTV VJ’s.
“White Christmas”. Yech
Finally someone who agrees with me about this song.
And I might add:
“Hard Candy Christmas” from Best Little Whorehouse in Texas.
“Silent Night” - totally boring.
“Feliz Navidad” and “Calypso Noel.”
“Pat-a-Pan.”
AtomicDog, what song are you talkig about?
Has anyone else heard “I Want A Hippotamus for Christmas?”
It is ALMOST as bad as “The Christmas Shoes.”
ALMOST.
I’d like to give multiple votes to And So This is Christmas. Whenever I hear this song I think about it being used as a fund raiser for starving kids in Africa, which makes me all warm and in the holiday spirit.
I didn’t know that it was originally written by John Lennon and Yoko Ono under the title *Happy Christmas (War is over)[/] which makes it a slight bit more interesting to me.
So now I can think of it as an anti-war song and a song about starving kids. Wow, give me that song and a glass of eggnog and I’m ready to go!
At least these people know what they did

I’ll see your Hippotamus and raise you “I Want to Spend My Christmas with a Dalek”. Awful beyond belief.
Well, “Christmas at Ground Zero” is pretty much unplayable, nowadays. Even though it was recorded back in the halcyon days of the late Cold War.
I forgot about that song. Extremely annoying.
(BTW: I’ve never heard “The Christmas Shoes.” It sounds like I’m lucky.)
I can’t believe I’m the first to say “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus”. It’s just twisted. If my dad had only seen my mother getting it on with a fat stranger…what a laff riot! What is going on in this kid’s head?
Another vote for ‘Jingle Bell Rock’
Or if you are from the other side of the pond there is always, “What do you buy a Wookie for Christmas (if he already has a comb”
And no, I am not kidding.
