Ya’all are a bunch of haters. I LOVE all Christmas music … well … except for “The Christmas Shoes” … and … “Grandma Got Run over by a Reindeer” … oh, and … “Bark Bark Bark, Bark Bark Bark” … come to think of it, just burn 'em all, I say, burn the bastards. \damn Christmas music anyway\ ---

Another vote for “The Christmas Shoes.” Does permanent elimination of the song extend to the movie and the book as well? I love that Patton Oswalt rant! ---

Talk about making someone put a bullet in their head. Dude, it’s a [Lennon song](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Xmas_%28War_Is_Over%29), and yeah—it makes me depressed as shit. But everything else mentioned in this thread should be wished into the cornfield before that one is dispatched. ---
