"Grandma got ran over by a reindeer"

And a very annoying version of "Sleigh Ride" is an honorable mention.

Overall, the secular ones tend to get on my nerves much quicker than the religious ones.

Of the religious ones, I do not particularly care for "O Little Town of Bethlehem". Or "It came upon the midnight clear". But they do not irritate me anywhere near as much as some of the secular ones do.

There was a secular one in Spanish that had absolutely nothing to do with anything Christmas, but for some reason was sung in Christmastime. The lyrics involved "give me your hand dove so that I can come to your nest because I hear you are alone and I have come to keep you company". Of course, they have a very perverted double entendre- that the average 8 year old will NOT be able to grasp. I do not care for this song and I am glad I have not heard it in over 13 years. My brother and I would parody it making an ad for a farm store with its melody.

And another relative disliked another song in Spanish featuring "clouds walking in space". But at least that one had religious elements- although they were not exclusive to Christmas.

So even the more religious countries are NOT exempt from annoying secular Christmas songs.
