How did you get that little (a) thingy to show up and what is it?

I hate the Chipmunk Christmas Song. Die Chipmunks, die a slow and horrible death! Wonder if Chipmunks taste like chicken?

"Last Christmas" because everyone and their mother has done a cover of it, and it's just a horrible horrible song. It grates on my nerves.

Æ
Quote:

Æ (lower case: æ) is a grapheme formed from the letters a and e. Originally a ligature representing a Latin diphthong, it has been promoted to the full status of a letter in the alphabets of some languages, including Danish, Norwegian and Icelandic. As a letter of the Old English alphabet, it was called æsc ("ash tree") after the Anglo-Saxon futhorc rune ᚫ (Runic letter ansuz.svg), which it transliterated; its traditional name in English is still ash (IPA: /æʃ/).
And I generally copy and past from the internet or a character map if I need a particular character. I never know the right code for alt+ and it's a pain in the ass on a laptop. (I DO know the codes for the most common french accents but that's left over from high school.)

Let's hear some more for this year!

I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus. Ick.

Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer. Double Ick.

Both make my ears bleed.

I dislike all of them. Once the radio begins playing Christmas Carols non-stop I make sure I have my books on CD checked out from the library and listen to them. Now to be fair to everyone, I also despise Adam Sandler's Chanukkah Song.

I'm surprised that no one has mention Justin Bieber's atrocity. Too new?

^^^^ THIS!

I am teaching tax classes right now and they are each only 3 hours long, Thank God. The place I work apparently has 5-10 Christmas songs that play in rotation. Different versions, but the same damn songs. I counted on Thursday night and I heard "My Favorite Things" 6 times. IN THREE HOURS.

They are always really repetitive though... the music is chosen by the corporate office, and it's played loud, so that people think we're cool. It's just annoying and makes it hard to hear. Every time I leave work I have to turn off the radio and just have silence for about a half hour to get my mind back. LOL

I want to know when "My Favorite Thing" became a Christmas song. It wasn't in the movie and it sure doesn't mention anything related to the season (except snow, maybe? major stretch) but it's annoying to hear it played as a Christmas song.

"Brown paper packages tied up with strings"
"[Doorbells and] sleighbells [and schnitzel with noodles]"
"Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes"
"Silver white winters that melt into springs"

Yeah. I know. My guess is the started adding it because they needed more music for the 24/7 Christmas music on the radio.

I have the same issue with "We Need a Little Christmas" as a Christmas song. The whole point of the song is that they needed a little Christmas when it wasn't Christmas yet. And what really cracks me up about it is that the song specifically says it's the week before Thanksgiving.

Really? It's your opinion, but I must disagree.....

Anyway, the one that goes "Simply....having... wonderful christmas time!" That song keeps playing over and over I am sick of it.
