Never heard song #5. As for the rest, they’re a part of our Christmas “lighter” culture. If I don’t like a song I don’t listen to it. Simple as that. I don’t see the idea behind dwelling on something negative.
Don’t know anything about the hippo song - and I agree about Grandma and the reindeer - but the others are fine. Santa Baby - I love it!
About not listening . . .
From Thanksgiving on, that’s just not possible. It’s everywhere and loud. From dogs barking out Jingle Bells to rap singers styling on Silver Bells.
Even the good, Christmas tunes are turning into instant gag reflex for me.
Hymns included.
