When it comes onthe radio they turn it up and sing along, emphasizing the mispronounced words. It's very annoying.

So there you go. Also, if 'My Favorite Things' isn't considered a Christmas song, is 'Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow' also not a Christmas song? It just talks about bundling up, staying warm, but not Christmas. And 'Winter Wonderland' doesn't specifically reference Christmas as I recall. Just sayin...
Originally Posted By davewasbaloo Actually, I hate almost all Christmas music with the exception of: Grandma got run over by a reindeer And so this is Christmas White Christmas The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire) Joy to the World Band Aid - Feed the World My preferrences are the Nutcracker Suite and the soundtrack to Nightmare Before Christmas. Making Christmas and What's This are class. I think my hatered of Christmas music is over exposure and not enough variety.
Originally Posted By Tinkerbell819 I like "So This Is Christmas (War Is Over)", too! But, I only like when John Lennon sings it, although Jimmy Buffett did an okay version...I'm not sure about this, but I think I may have heard Celine Dion singing it on the radio yesterday, big yuck!

It's called "This Year's Santa Baby" and ups the ante on the gifts she's asking for ("Though the yacht was rather chic/Now it's really shot, last week is sprang a leak/And so please, now hold your breath/Buy me the Queen Elizabeth").
Originally Posted By ETicket34 >>The Elvis version of Blue Christmas: his part is fine but the ooh ooh ooh, ooh oohs from the background singers grate on my nerves.>> Oh how sad..I love that song. My Sister and I tend to sing that part very loudly and then burst into giggles. It reminds me of Christmas more than any other song. I dislike "Oh Christmas Tree". I had a record (yes, a real record kids) of the Scooby-Doo Christmas story that I used to listen to over and over again. They sang that song at the end and for some reason it just got on my nerves. I still remember it to this day. Ugh.

Christmas is in *Winter!* (not yelling at you Jim, just at the general thought if some people cry out those "aren't" Christmas songs). I think you have to have a little Scrooge in you if you're gonna protest that snowy and wintery songs aren't Christmas songs or shouldn't be played/heard at this time of year. Christmas is in winter, the holiday season is in winter, you do all the shopping and parties and family get-togethers in winter, *and*, winter lasts until March, so these specific songs have an even longer "shelf life" on the turntable (bear with my terminology here, lol). I guess I've just grown up hearing all kinds of holiday songs at the Christmas season, so when I hear "wintery" songs in general I immediately think "Christmas".
