While it would be easy to list some of the greatest Christmas song performances in a top 10 or top 25 list (any such list would have to include Nat King Cole's rendition of Torme's The Christmas Song, and Bing Crosby's rendition of White Christmas to be taken seriously), it might be more fun to come up with the FReeper Nation's opinion of the WORST Christmas songs ever

And anything by Lennon.

My favorites are those that are Christ-centered. I really don’t see the significance in anything that is not.

The ones I dislike are those that are totally secular. “Jingle Bell Rock” and “Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer” are the two I dislike the most, and they seem to be played constantly!

“Do they know it's Christmas Time at All” by all the silly bands of the early 1990s

A PC crap of a song that also has so many factual errors in that I have to laugh. No snow at Christmas in Africa??? - hello - THEY ARE IN THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE or on the equator!

I agree with your top 5 crappiest and would add (and I know I’ll get flamed for this)...anything by The Chipmunks!!! They make me flee the area like I was on fire.

The stupid “Feed the World” song, you know the British “We Are the World” is right up there, too.

Oh no, An ingrown toe
Can wreck your Christmas cheer...
But not as bad
As when your girl
Lets you know that She’s gone queer..

Most of them. By and large Christmas songs are atrocious. Special mention has to go to any Rudolf song except Asylum Street Spankers’ Hoochie Koochie Man version, and the entire body of work from Manheim Steamroller. Haven’t decided yet how much I dislike Trans Siberian Orchestra, on the surface they seem to be a blending of the worst habits of Steamroller and ELO, but a couple of their songs I’ve stumbled on have been strangely addictive.

“Santa Baby” makes me want to stick an icepick into my head.

I have no idea who sings it, but she sounds like Carol Channing, whom I cannot stand.

How could you possibly omit “Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer” from your list??

(Doubly irritating since many radio stations, for reasons I’ve yet to fathom, feel obligated to play it at least twice an hour....)

Barbara Streisand “Jingle Bells”-for that alone, she should be taken out and shot against the nearest wall.

I tell people that if I hear Feliz Navidad again my head will explode.

I cannot change the radio station fast enough if that song comes on. I absolutely HATE IT!
