The version(s) of Sleigh Ride with lyrics. They are unnecessary to the piece...you get the picture without them. However, if there isn't a trumpet horse whinny at the end, you've just wasted three minutes of my life.

Charlotte Symphony is doing Sleigh Ride at our concert this weekend... Terribly excited about that. The rest, not so much. O Holy Night with a girl who sounds like a lounge singer & a drumset backing her up. Bah! Also unintentionally hilarious: Mary's Boy Child. First of all, that should NEVER be a choral arrangement. Second, it should only be sung by someone with excellent jazz/gospel skills. On top of that, Maestro has decided he wants us to CLAP the last page. It must have escaped his attention that we are a choir of 147 whites, 1 Latina, and 2 blacks. We ain't got THAT kind of rhythm.

Every time I hear it, I want to scream! They played it when I was at Starbucks last night. So annoying!

Why is Joni Mitchell's "River" now a Christmas song? Because it mentions ice skating?

Think about it...radio stations have long forgotten to play seasonal music post-Christmas Day. This includes songs that mention cold weather, ice skating, snow, sleigh rides, and a wonderful white world of winter WITHOUT the word Christmas in the lyrics.
