Can't stand "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer"? Do you listen to "Santa Baby" on repeat? Vote for what you think are the best and most annoying Christmas songs below, and see the results in an upcoming Post story.

The Very best Christmas song ever, Slade “here it is merry Christmas, everybody’s having fun”
The worst, George michaels faggoty Christmas song

[Buckeye Battle Cry]

If I hear that damned Hippopatomus song one more time somebody is going to bleed!

Last year there was an article where Geldoff admitted it may be the worst song ever recorded. He has nightmares about carolers come by the house singing it. Serves him right for writing it.

LOL! Poetic justice. :)

[dfwgator]

George Michael should record a new song

“Last Christmas, I Gave You My AIDS.”

I Yust Go Nuts At Christmas - Yogi Yorgesson

What? No mention of Snoopy's Christmas?

Under "Best" or "Worst"?

[angcat]

I hate Paul Maccarthy’s “A wonderful Christmas Time”.

[Bigh4u2]

“Worst (not on the list) - Feliz Navidad “

Agree.

Best: Believe - from Polar Express Jackie Evancho

Father Christmas
Written by: Ray Davies And The Kinks
When I was small I believed in Santa Claus
Though I knew it was my dad
And I would hang up my stocking at Christmas
Open my presents and I’d be glad

But the last time I played Father Christmas
I stood outside a department store
A gang of kids came over and mugged me
And knocked my reindeer to the floor

They said:
Father Christmas, give us some money
Don’t mess around with those silly toys.
We’ll beat you up if you don’t hand it over
We want your bread so don’t make us annoyed
Give all the toys to the little rich boys.
Another band that you wouldn’t expect to write a Christmas song. But it also predicts the youth problem in England a long time before any one else did.

favorite is “ I’ll be home for Christmas “ Bing Crosby, 1943.

That song brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it. Just beautiful, and so touching.

Do a Google search for UTube Mark Lowry, “Mary Did You Know”. Mark is the composer and with the Gaithers. Once you get to the UTube, there are many of Marks “Mary” renditions. I will see what I can find on Google of Roger Wagner Choral. Heres Mark:

LOL!! Those are keepers! :)

[Fast Moving Angel]

Worst: Anything they play prior to December 15. I get really tired of hearing Christmas music or seeing decorations way far in advance of the date. Christmas ornaments in August? Come ON!!!!

Best: Seasonally-appropriate music -- after all, remember the *reason* for the season!!

[PigRigger]

very beautiful...just lovely...

[N. Theknow]

One of my favorites.

Gotta turn the volume up to ear-bleed volume when it comes on the radio.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hd4OEsdqCp0&feature=related

Mary's Boy child Jesus Christ, Oh My Lord

[NoGrayZone]

Someone posted that one. The one I’m looking for is the man (who sings the song) saying it’s been recorded so many times, even by the “unbelieving”.

Perhaps I can google what I just stated to you (DUH!!!!)

[proud American in Canada]

I hate Paul Maccarthy’s “A wonderful Christmas Time”.

Yes, it's a horrible song. What happened to the man's creativity on that one??

[Bigh4u2]

If you loved that one, then you might like this on as well.

(need to wait for the ‘ad’ to end)

"""""when you kiss your little baby, you kiss the face of God”. I break-up every time.""""""

Can you even try to imagine that? How blessed SHE was/is.

I will try to find the UTUBE of Reba's rendition. THANKS

Max Lucado has a great book on this very subject, asking all sorts of questions to Mary. Curious minds, lol, but I like it. Was it "God Came Near"?
