Since it is now, officially, in my opinion, Christmas season, Christmas music is now allowed. Not that any of you needed my permission, I am sure. But in light of the onset of the holiday season, I am beginning to see that the realm of holiday music could use some help.
Directly, I am thinking that--now, remember that it is only December 1st today--I believe I have already heard some Christmas songs too often. So, I am starting a list of Christmas songs that need to be retired.
Please feel free to add you're own nominations.
My top five WORST Christmas songs include:
1) Christmas Shoes (recorded by absolutely anyone...)
2) Santa Baby (Madonna's version may be the most popular, but they are all bad.)
3) Do They Know It's Christmas? (Collective western pop singers singing about an African drought...nothing says 'Holiday' quite like that.)
4) Santa Claus is Coming to Town (At least, Bruce Springsteen's version...yikes! My ears are bleeding.)
5) Did I mention, Christmas Shoes? It is SO bad that it deserves two spots.

I really don't care for 'Twas the night Before Christmas...set to music. That just sets me on edge. Oh and The Twelve Days of Christmas....unless it's sung by the Muppets. The Muppets make everything better.
I haven't really been listening to the Christmas tunes and I tend to block out the ones I don't like. I'll have to switch the radio on and listen.
You nailed my #1 worst Christmas song ever!! I can not stand "The Christmas Shoes" (It hurts to even write the name, because of the music starting to run in my head) That has to be the most awful song ever put on the airwaves. Such a sappy load of goo. But hey, Merry Christmas :)
