[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not my favorite in terms of a traditional carol...but Do They Know it's Christmas 1984 by Band Aid just makes me feel really good. . My favorite might be the old school "I'll be Home for Christmas, or Bing Crosby's White Christmas. [/quote]

This might be the most condescending, ignorant song ever made.  I’m no PC activist but this song even offends me.  “Do they know it’s Christmas ti e at all?” Come on.[/quote]

I used to love it, but as I've grown up, I have come to view it this way.  So obnoxious.  I still love the idea of helping those less fortunate, but this song....ugh.[/quote]

+1. I have residual fond feelings for it from my time as a kid in the 80s, but after not hearing it for several years and then hearing it again, that line especially - ugh ugh ugh.

And speaking of the 80s, funnily my mom once told me one of her favorite Christmas songs is "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer."  For me, "Feliz Navidad" and Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas Is You" are big favs. Also yes to Charlie Brown Christmas songs, Alvin and the Chipmunks, and the hippopotamus song. I can listen endlessly to anything by Johnny Mathis or the Lennon Sisters, they both have fantastic Christmas albums. And Josh Groban's version of "O Holy Night."

And yeah, Santa Baby is great. I can't tell if many people are actually outraged by that song or if it's mostly been ginned up by the "War on Christmas" lobby a la the Starbucks red cup "controversy." Anyway, I like it, except for the awful bland Taylor Swift version. Eartha Kitt's is obviously best, but love the Madonna version too.[/quote]
