I hate the grinch. Really anything by dr. Seuss sucks.

I love A Christmas Story and I don't care who knows it.

I also like all Christmas Songs (except the Christmas Shoes one) for about a week, then I tire of them and turn on the iPod.

co-sign!

We love that movie too at our house. I have seen several lamp leg replicas this year as well. I'm quite tempted to buy one, stick it in my window and see which neighbor would be the first to complain about it.

But Rudolph and Santa is coming to town are classics!! :)

How is it that "I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas" not been mentioned yet? Worst song ever! Not only are the lyrics totally stupid, but I detest any song that has an adult singing who is pretending to be a kid. If you want the sound of a kid singing, then hire a kid. (preferably one without a speech impediment, but that is a different rant for a different day)

Now A Christmas Story? I love that movie and watch it several times each year. It gets funnier ever single year.

The Christmas Shoes song is so gimmicky - and the sad thing is that it's mostly done by Christian artists. Then again, there are some pretty gimmicky Christian artists as well - Steven Curtis Chapman's Cinderella for example - it begs to be in the cheesiest wedding video you've ever seen.

My hate list includes:

"Wonderful Christmastime" - Paul McCartney
"It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year" by anyone who does it
"All I Want For Christmas Is You" - Mariah Carey
"Little St. Nick" - Beach Boys
"My Only Wish" - Britney Spears
"Hey Santa" - Carnie & Wendy Wilson
"Step Into Christmas" - Elton John
"Oi To The World" - No Doubt

But . . . it's not Christmas without the hippo!

It's a Wonderful Life.

I do have a wonderful life but hate seeing 80 times a season.

I did like A Christmas story (esp. the Chinese rest. scene) but got extra tired of it.

I've never actually seen It's a Wonderful Life all the way through. I've seen snippets here and there. I have no desire to watch the entire thing all the way through either!

Actually, "It's A Wonderful Life" has been playing once or twice per year for about 15 years now. The only reason I know this is because it's one of my mom's favorite movies of all time. She was sad when NBC bought the rights to showing the movie, because instead of being able to catch one of the multiple showings, she had to make sure that she found out it was showing so she didn't miss it. (That's right, I dug up an article from 1995!) We eventually bought the tape, and then DVD, so it's no problem anymore! I remember when NBC first bought the rights, it was only shown once per season, but according to this 2009 Christmas movie guide, NBC is showing it twice this year.

Now, Elf...THAT is in overplayed Christmas movie! (But I still love it...:))

THIS! Listening to this song is like having my eardrums run through a dull cheese grater!

I agree with "Most Wonderful Time of the Year"

and Jingle Bells. I hate that song. I don't know why, I just do.

Wow, I'd never heard of Christmas Shoes before today. *Sigh* Ignorance was bliss. I have a tendency to hate any Christmas song when I hear it more than twice a day. The songs themselves don't really bother me as much as the constant repetition.
