Also, the Africa song about "do they know it's Christmas time at all?" is horribly depressing. I really listened to the lyrics for the first time about a year ago and felt horrible afterwards.

My 8-year-old said the same thing, and I told her that so many people loved this song so much, that they all bought it and it raised millions of dollars for hungry people in Africa. That made her feel better.

In addition, "Simply Having a Wonderful Christmastime" by Paul McCartney has to be the WORST song ever. I know there are better Christmas songs out there, why are we subjected to these two songs over and over again??????

On a completely unrelated note, I have an itunes gift to send you, with a bonus gift of a set of knitting needles. Please provide address.

OMG I despise christmas music. I hate that time of year when you walk into a store and they are already playing it. The one and only exception is the Charlie Brown one, but that's mostly just mellow jazz.

Hilarious. These are my two least favorite Christmas songs as well. I think they're horrible.

What about new shoes for momma before she sees Jesus song?

OP, I have fortunately sheltered myself from these horrible songs you mention. I have 25 Christmas CDs and none include cheesy novelty songs or songs by rockers. No, no. It's Nat Cole, Streisand, Vince Guaraldi, a some contemporary vocalists that appeal to a jazz centric ear.

Pandora has a decent Christmas rotation. I never, never listen to 97.1. That way I don't have to hear Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer.

How about Dominic the Italian Christmas Donkey? It's so bad it's good. : )

How can you NOT love Madonna's "Santa Baby"? Or Bon Jovi's Christmas songs? And my absolute, all time favorite Christmas song by the Boss "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" (although Merry Christmas, Baby is a VERY close second)?Hell, I even still own the NKOTB Christmas album...ON TAPE!

Absolutely detest all of this stuff! I also hate Little Drummer Boy, Do You Hear What I Hear, Christmas Shoes, the awful Paul McCartney song that prompted this thread, and the staccato nightmare music on Caillou's holiday special.
