Little Drummer Boy

"Rum-bump-bum-pa-bum bum" or whatever it is is a lousy excuse for a lyric.

If it mentions Jesus, I will tolerate it. I went to Christian school and I remember the librarian and my friend's mother, who happened to teach at the school, singing "Little Drummer Boy" together in harmony during library time. I was really impressed and will never forget it. We did a Christmas program every year so I LOVE all the Christian Christmas songs by default and know most of them.

"Christmas Shoes" has got to be the worst. It's a crap message and on top of everything else, it doesn't rhyme.

Any and all holiday-related Claymation specials (i.e. Rudolph, Frosty, etc).

I hate them all.

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.

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 havent heard that song, but I would agree with your reasoning for not liking it

I think she said it best.

Also, I'm 100% on the Little Drummer Boy bandwagon. Can't stand it.

and I'm pretty sure no one mentioned "Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer" because that's just a given! No one likes that song!!!!

Incorrect, I like that song!

I'm not a fan of the Little Drummer Boy either, but I do enjoy listening to the Drummer Boy duet with David Bowie and someone else (forgot who).


I personally don't like "Joy to the World"

"Little Drummer Boy" is the one I detest - although not as violently as in years past.
