My most hated: I saw mommy kissing santa claus (it either ruins the myth for the kiddies or convinces them mommy is cheating on daddy.UGH!)

and that ridiculous one from the 80's, the "feed the world" one. One of the lines is "there will be no snow in Africa this Christmas" no kidding-it's AFRICA; it's also summer. There better not be snow. I hate that song.

Yes!! That is horrible, too. We have this radio station that is non-stop Christmas music until the 26th. I think they are scraping the bottom of the barrel to fill air time. The other night they were playing, "We Are the World" --the instrumental version!!

The "Feed the World" contains the horrible line by Bono, "And thank God it's them instead of youuuuu..." Just elitist, pretentious and patronizing - as if we're all so selfish we just dismiss the needy with a wave. Generally I love Bono and U2, so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt that he didn't mean it that way.

That is one of the few songs that makes me automatically hit the tuning button on the radio the instant it comes on. Ditzy Chicks and Linda Ronstadt songs make me do the same thing, as do a few others.
