A couple of years ago I wrote a post about really bad Chistmas songs. In my continuing war on Christmas I have decided to revisit the issue. I have yet to find a song worse than the three I mentioned in that post (although McCartney’s song has been covered, shocking I know), what say you? What Christmas songs do you really despise?

I actually generally like Christmas songs, despite their being played to death during this season. There are a handful I really detest, however:
The Little Drummer Boy. Ktesibios on your previous comment thread (https://afarensis99.wordpress.com/2007/12/23/update_on_afarensis_first_ever/#comment-4788) spelled out the incredibly lame premise of this song better than I can. But in general it’s just a hateful detestable song.
Do You Hear What I Hear? This song has always grated on my nerves since I first heard it as a kid. It sounds like something some decrepit Salvation Army band would play outside a mission.
Santa Claus is Coming to Town. You better watch out, kids–Santa is stalking you.
I never much cared for “Frosty the Snowman” or “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,” either, though I don’t loathe them like the first three.
Oh, yeah, don’t forget “What Child is This?”–“Greensleeves” stolen and turned into a sappy Christmas song.
Yes, Ktesibios’ summary of the song had me ROFL.
I loathe Christmas music in general, and have particular dislike for those mentioned above. The little drummer boy in particular needs to Die In A Fire, as the kids say, in every version, and with the TV special stacked on top of the pyre.
That second video has been removed by the user. I guess someone was overcome by taste.
Yes, it is a Christmas miracle!
… And so has the third. How do you spell embarrassment (?)
Here’s one that, well, jingalabell jinglejingle. What else can be said.
