I don't like "Blue Christmas." Not by anybody. I know, the Elvis version is a classic. But tear jerkers are not what I want to hear at Christmas. It's popular probably because, I understand, for those who are lonely anyway, Christmas time really makes them blue. Another so-called classic I don't care for is Orbison's "Pretty Paper."

I have to agree. I adore Elvis, but I have never liked the song Blue Christmas, even by him. And with all due respect to the late, multi-talented, and greatly missed Mel Blanc, the Porky Pig version should be wiped from the face of the planet. I would also nominate Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer and any version of the 12 Days of Christmas (I'd take Burl's Holly Jolly Christmas ANYTIME over the 12 Days).
