Some of my favorites: Noel, Ave Maria, Jingle Bell Rock,

A recording of German Shepherds barking to the beat of Jingle Bells. I don’t know who did it. Heard on the radio 40 yr ago

My most Hated? “Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer!”
I have NEVER got what’s so funny and Christmassy abt that song!

[Red Badger]

There is also a 30 minute cartoon of that song............

[Stosh]

Couldn’t find it to listen to, but I will admit in other stuff the woman does have a definite Mariah Carey vibe.

Like the old traditional and a few new things but a playlist based on the Windham Hill’s Winter Solstice series is great calming background music.

Before Mariah Carey became an insufferable nitwit, she made her fame on one song and she was hot as Hell and it was a bombshell. Now ruined by her over stuffed self indulgent WOKE self, still worth seeing:

But Mariah did redeem herself a bit in my eyes recently, by correcting an interviewer calling her the "Queen of Christmas" - and Mariah said "No...MARY is the Queen of Christmas."

[NorthMountain]

if it's about CHRISTmas, I like it.

If it's about seasonal nostalgia or shopping, I hate it.

If it's a parody of familial dysfunction, I laugh my arse off at it.

[Sirius Lee]

Yup. Hate that song. Especially when folks try to sing it. Just a flopping no melody, awkwardmess.

[PhillyPhreeper]

Good - Most songs on "A Christmas Album" by Amy Grant

Bad - Grandma got run over by a reindeer

The Overplaying Mariah Carey Christmas Music

[SovereignJ]

I like any of the somber, minor key ones. O Come, O Come Immanuel is my favorite. Least favorite is The First Noel. So repetitive.

Silent Night by Mannheim Steamroller via Rush Limbaugh. The many Christmas albums of MS are an annual staple within my walls (house and vehicle). Thank you Rush, and Chip Davis.

What would have been worse - Little Accordian Boy or Little Bagpipe Boy?

Lil Rappin Boy would be too horrible to contemplate.

[posterchild]

I’m surprised there is not yet mention of “Do they know it’s Christmas?”

[Sgt_Schultze]

Good = Mary Did You Know by Kathy Mattea

[FroggyTheGremlim]

Like: Silent Night; O Holy Night; O Little Town of Bethlehem;Most of the Traditional Songs;
Dislike:Santa Claus is Comin’ to Town (Jackson Five/Springsteen version)
Hate: Santa Baby; All I want for Christmas is My Two Front Teeth,
Makes Me Barf: Grandma Got Run Over By a ReinDeer

[Wilum]

Paul McCartney Wings song, worst ever. It’s not even close.
