Then to cap it off, there's the line "there'll be scary ghost stories"! (HUHH?) Who tells those at Christmas?

ALL of them.

Ditto with "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year". That song is super annoying.

Quite honestly, I'm a choir freak so I'm not the biggest fan of Christmas carols that are sung individually. If that makes sense.

Basically any Christmas carols that my mom tries to sing. She can't carry a frickin tune so it is painful to listen too. Thank god I got my ability to sing from someone else. LOL.

I'm dreading the you-just-know-it's-coming Taylor Swift Christmas special or CD.

I've never liked "O Christmas Tree" or "Do They Know It's Christmas."

I freakin' hate most Christmas music. Pretty much the only Christmas music I like is the music from The Nutcracker, which I love. This year I was in Macy's on the last weekend of September and they were putting up posters with models wearing Santa hats, holding ornaments and there was some blurb about Star Rewards Cards. SEPTEMBER!!!!!!!!! I was furious. Call me a Scrooge, but "The Christmas Season" is not and should not be a third of the year. By the end of it, after random people telling me "Merry Christmas" for the 400,000th time, I just start telling them "Happy Chanukah." It just gets so old.

I was working on a project yesterday and one of my Brothers had Christmas music blaring on his computer (which I was using).

I now hate all Christmas music.

Frosty the Snowman. Must. Die.

I hated it as a child, and have only detested it more as I've grown up. I fantasize about frinding an AK-47 and shooting any snowman I see, but with my luck, some kid would be behind it. Not that it ever snows before Christmas here. *shudder* Hate. It.

And why do radio stations play a song mangled by one celebrity, then 10 minutes later play the same song mangled by another? The only good reason is to avoid playing the above mentioned song from hell or the donkey song!

DITTO. Doesn't matter who it's sung by, it's a STUPID song.

One of our stations (3WS for yinzers) has banned Dominick, the Hippo song, etc this year and some people are actually complaining.

I didn't know that! Are they trying to make up for the hachet job on Jim & Theresa?

Ahh!

"Last Christmas, I Gave You My Heart."

BAH. ICK. NOOOOOOOOOOO!

I lived abroad for a couple of years in a non-English-speaking country, which was nice, as it spiced up the Christmas carol repertoire, so you would think you'd finally be free of all the bad ones--BUT NO, the Wham! version of that song was EVE-RY-WHERE-UH!!!

And now, the place I work plays not one, but two versions of it in our holiday music mix. Shudder...
