The Little Drummer Boy is a bigger villain than the Grinch. The Grinch at least has some sort of heart-size condition and soul-gunk problem that he can blame for his lack of basic compassion. What excuse does the Little Drummer Boy have for his behavior? None.
The Little Drummer Boy is just a plain old jerk. Specifically, the kind of jerk who insists on telling us about a time he showed up at a party without a gift and made everyone there miserable by playing what he thinks was a sick drum solo.
But he cannot just tell us. Instead, he constantly interrupts his own narrative with twee drum noises so that it takes longer.

Yeah?
Why couldn't it have been a Prophet V, or a caliope, a pipe organ, the Norman Abersnackle Choir, or the Glen Miller orchestra?
Maybe a sweet gentle flute?
(a rum-pa-pa pum my @$$)
What?!?
You’re NOT....
So proud of Grandpa...
He’s taking it so well...
Watching football, drinking beer and playing cards with cousin Mel!
Yeah?
Yes, ROCKLOBSTER, a beautiful message.
The little drummer boy offered a gift; it wasn't gold, frankincense, or myrrh, because he was poor. He offered the only thing he had.
Do you have a gift for the King of Kings to express your gratitude?
Super sensitive vistalite?
It didn’t happen.
From a prepper’s perspective, if you are giving a gift to someone who will be headed for Egypt in a couple years, then gold, Frankincense and myrrh would be more useful than, say, a drum.
Then I understand your inability to understand the message.
They were *All-American* for a time .... good memories. :)
By today’s standards, they’d be considered *sappy*.
Oh, I understand the message (and there were no drums at the nativity) and the song still sucks, as well as do most money-making commercial Christmas songs.
I’ll do my shopping online just to avoid the torture to my ears.
Sorry, my bad. Your statement was so short - I thought you meant you were saying the Nativity didn’t happen.
Of course it did. A blessed Christmas to you and yours.
But today’s *standards* are Un-American.
I should have taken that into consideration, when I posted. Sad but true. :(
Is it a Rankin/Bass production? From the same era of master stop action puppetry maybe even earlier than the 60?
By today's standards, they'd be considered *sappy*.
With Justin Bieber, Snoop Doggie Dogg, Lady Gaga, the Dixie Chicks and Queen--or Queer, or whatever it's called--setting today's standards, give me the *sappy* tunes of yesteryear any day!
Yes! Narrated by Patricia Neale. I just found this on Youtube - the last five minutes:

“Last Christmas” was written by a homo, so it is most likely that he’s singing to a dude.
Yuck!
Jennifer Connelly + David Bowie = Labyrinth
Reason #6,792 to hate that “song”.
