Even before all the woke hoopla about this song arose a few years ago, I failed to see why anyone would want to put a song about seduction on their Christmas playlist. This song ranks up there with Santa Baby as the winners of the WTF award for Christmas songs.

I agree that people need to get a life, these sort of things happen in real life, and all that. But that doesn't mean that my defense of civilization should require commingling a song about trying to get into someone's nickers along with Andy Williams, Vince Guaraldi and Peanuts, and Jose Feliciano as I celebrate the birth of Jesus.

Aside from the version in the movie Elf, the song sucks. So does Santa Baby. Just because a song predates the 1960s doesn't mean it's good. Indeed, I'd rather listen to Paul McCartney's Wonderful Christmastime.

So I guess “Walking in a Winter Wonderland” or “Sleigh Ride” or “Let it Snow” or “Jingle Bells” is right out too?

As for Vince Guaraldi and Peanuts, sure not all the songs from the show or album are “religious” but A Charlie Brown Christmas, aside from the songs Skating and Linus and Lucy and Für Elise, they were all Christmas songs. As for A Charlie Brown Christmas …..

A Charlie Brown Christmas - True Meaning

And FWIW - Feliz Navidad means "Merry Christmas, a prosperous year and happiness", the Spanish version and not all that different from “We Wish You a Merry Christmas”
