5. All I Want For Christmas is You (Mariah Carey version)

Oh, Man! I’m the only one on the planet that LIKES that song, as well as the movie, ‘Water World.’ LOL!

All I Want For Christmas is You (Mariah Carey version)

Yep that's one that makes me want to break out my flamethrower.

No, I like that song as well.

It’s really nice.

John Lennon’s opening line “ So this is Christmas and what have you done “ from ‘ Happy Xmas War is Over ‘ enrages me on so many levels.

From the smug, self satisfied, preachy tone to the attitude that led to our abandonment of South Vietnam I despise this song.

I swear this is a litmus test for any potential wife - you like this song? Fine - hit the bricks, dingbat.

The original version of "All I Want for Christmas is You" is probably one of the best original Christmas songs out there, and the reason I bought the CD. It beats all the remakes of remakes of remakes.

Now, if you want to have a laugh at Mariah's expense (which is easy to do, actually), listen to her rendition of Joy to the World. It's the Three Dog Night version.

Yes, I hated Water World, but I like All I Want for Christmas Is You a lot. I don't know how I'd buy groceries without it.

I can’t believe that no body mentioned Elvis’s Blue Christmas....The background vocals are like fingernails on chalkboard!

I can't get into "Water World", but I'm with you on Mariah's song, LOL. I heard it today for the first time this season, on the way to the store, and I cranked it up.

The '80s were my time...aside from the message of the Band-Aid song, I loved it and still do. (The video, too).

Christmas Shoes is probably the most miserable of the bunch. I also hate Rocking Around The Christmas Tree, Feliz Navidad, and anything by Johnny Mathis.

Check out Melissa McQueen’s sendup of Mariah Carey: “All I Want for Christmas is Jews!”

Priceless, & not anti-semitic in the least. She makes Mariah out to be some kind of avaricious cougar.

I tend strongly, almost exclusively, to traditional and religious Christmas songs. But I have to admit I also like that song. I also like George Strait's "Christmas cookies."

As an aside, I read your tagline quickly and thought it said "I don't have hobbits."

[lefty-lie-spy]

ALL Christmas music is annoying.
