We've also always hated the "spastic" version of Jingle Bells:

Indeed. But John Coltrane's several versions of this tune are at the other end of the spectrum, and a sure antidote to Ms Streisand. Sample:

In many ways, this is a good song, and it is well-performed. I just wish there was more to the song. It doesn't really end...

Touron is a nougat of Arabic origin made with almonds and honey or sugar, without which it would just not be Christmas in Spain.

There is only one for me:
Sorry Ozzy...

Cole Sear is the child character in The Sixth Sense who has the memorable line "I see dead people." The problem I have at Christmas is I hear dead people. Bing Crosby, Karen Carpenter, Elvis, Nat King Cole...The list goes on and on. There must be some people alive who can sing Christmas songs?

Lots of choir concerts this time of year, and usually they sing lots of Christmas songs. Mostly the legit kind, like carols. Don't want to pay? Go to a Christmas eve church service. Xmas concerts etc. in Seattle area.

I was just thinking about same thing another day... It looks like Christmas was way way more important and more celebrated before (I mean original meaning of Christmas). When you look back, almost every popular singer had a Christmas song, or Christmas album, and some of them even became on the top lists of those times. How many musical stars of today have a Christmas song?

There really don't seem to be that many Saturnalia songs. Hanukkah songs are plentiful by comparison. This link might help: http://bit.ly/1flBwYj All snark aside, this agnostic prefers a good rousing rendition of "Come All Ye Faithful" or "Joy to the World" to anything involving Rudolph or Frosty, although those songs are fantastic compared to that piece of mawkish excrement known as "Christmas Shoes." All the same, Fiona Apple does a really good version of "Frosty the Snowman." TBH, though, I'd pay good money to listen to her read the IRS code to me.

Sadly, right now I'm a poseur. Sigh.

Yep, that is exactly what I meant. I bet there were many things happened on the date you celebrate your birthday (before you were born on it), but it most likely you do not celebrate them on that day... smile.gif smile.gif smile.gif but, anyway, Marry Christmas!!! (I know, I know, Jesus was not born in January (http://www.answersingenesis.org/articles/2008/12/19/feedback-the-origin-of-christmas), and Hanukah is celebration of the light to the world (Hebrew messiah), so I guess, I rather celebrate Hanukah, than saturnalia...)

I don't know if the songs I hate the most were mentioned. I think I saw this one on the list though. 1. that Christmas Shoe garbage. that is the worse Christmas song of all time. 2. I am not sure the name of the song, but it's from the Beach Boys. They remind us that "Christmas comes this time each year." like the calender isn't enough of a reminder. stupid song. 3. that aweful latte land song. I take it back. this is probably worse than the shoe song. 4. I don't know what this song is called. It's from Alabama. and it's about this kid who is cutting through the woods on the way home, and runs into an angel that helps him find his way home. so this is a good idea. take a short cut thru the woods. if you get lost. don't worry just trust that creepy old man that is leering at you. he will help you get home.
