I love Carol of the Bells -- probably my favourite.

Personally, it would have to be "Silver Bells" as sung by fill-in-the-blank cheesy lounge singer.

Especially the following parts:

Quote:
Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city.
Ring-a-ling, hear them sing.
Soon it will be Christmas day.

Hear the snow crunch.
See the kids bunch.
This is Santa's big scene.
And above all this bustle
You'll hear,


Horrible. Absolutely horrible. Makes my skin crawl.

But the worst would have to be:

Quote:
It's Christmas time
There's no need to be afraid
At Christmas time
We let in light and we banish shade
And in our world of plenty
We can spread a smile of joy
Throw your arms around the world
At Christmas time

But say a prayer
Pray for the other ones
At Christmas time it's hard
But when you're having fun

There's a world outside your window
And it's a world of dread and fear
Where the only water flowing
Is the bitter sting of tears
And the Christmas bells that ring
There are the clanging chimes of doom
Well tonight thank God it's them instead of you

Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmas time
Feed the world
Do they know it's Christmas time at all?

And there won't be snow in Africa
This Christmas time
The greatest gift they'll get this year is life
Where nothing ever grows
No rain nor rivers flow
Do they know it's Christmas time at all?

Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmas time
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmas time again

(Here's to you) raise a glass for everyone
(Here's to them) underneath that burning sun
Do they know it's Christmas time at all?

Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmas time



Uh, I know it was well-intentioned but c'mon(!)

1) "we banish shade"?
2) it's a "a world of dread and fear"?
3) Isn't it a good thing that there's no snow in Africa?
4) Lately, it should be more like "Do they give fuh it's Christmas?"... Chritianity isn't exactly the only show in town in Africa.

I dislike "All I Want For Christmas Is You" just a tiny bit more than I dislike "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer." But I want "Bill Goldberg As Santa in Santa's Slay" to run over all involved with those two songs.

Also, "Do They Know It's Christmas" is so fucking patronizing and colonial in tone I wish death on all involved, even though I like some of the artists involved.

I can't hate Brian Setzer because my wife would shoot me in the head if I did. I like my head.

The absolute worst is the Twelve days of Christmas, for three reasons.
1) It drags on forever.
2) every idiot group who has ever considered themselves witty have made a 'joke' version which managed to be even worse than the original.
3) That Fiiiiiiivvvve Goooooollllldddden RIiiiiiiiings shit drives me mad.

You're just upset that they get J. Lo - a Puerto Rican - to play Selena - a Mexican.

Consequently, you have taken to hate on all things PR.

I was just in a card shop PAYING THREE FUCKING POUNDS FOR A FUCKING CARD and just to make the experience even more unbareable they had 'I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus' playing over the speakers. Thanks, assholes.

Worse than toothache and I actually have toothache so I can make the comparison. Pass the Ibuporfen! How many of these do I need to take to overdose?

I love Burl Ives' Holly Jolly Christmas its so hokie. Pretty much all his xmas songs are.

Silver Bells, and other traditional ones done ala Dean Martin I love because they are cheesy, lounge like, cig in one hand, egg nogg in the other crooning.

I learned to play Away in a Manger on my guitar, such a simple pretty song. Needs a bridge.


We Wish You a Merry Christmas....Blaaah! Get it out of my head!
The First Noel .........so rangy warbly, hated it even when I was a kid
Frosty the Snowman....May you melt in hell you witchy concoction of snowflakes.
