Christmas Song Wars

Here are a few of my favorite Christmas songs, and my favorite folks to sing them.
  • Let it be Christmas by Alan Jackson
  • O Holy Night by Celine Dion
  • The Prayer by Andrea Bocelli and Celine Dion
  • I heard the Bells on Christmas Day by Bette Midler
  • Jingle Bells by Rory Mac
  • Silver Bells by Ray Conniff singers
  • It's the Most Wonderful time of the Year by Andy Williams
  • O Little Town Of Bethlehem by no one in particular
But....
There are a few I'd dig having earplugs for, and most of the folks who "sing" them.
  • Last Christmas by Taylor Swift, or anybody for that matter....Like fingernails on a chalkboard!
  • Christmas Shoes by anybody... who wants morbid at Christmas??
  • Santa Claus is coming to town by Bruce Springsteen.... painful!
  • Feliz Natividad by anybody.... too cheesy for me, sorry.
  • Little Drummer Boy by anybody... monotonous, to say the least.
  • Santa Baby....need I say more?
These are just the ones I can think of off the top of my head. I'm sure there are more of both. What about you? Is there a Christmas song you'd like to see eradicated? And do you have a favorite?

Cheers!

I'm sorry, but Blue Christmas by Elvis is not only depressing, it's just horrible.

On the other hand...It's The Most Wonderful Time of the Year by Andy Williams makes my heart sing!

Ha! Anything by Elvis is depressing to me. I can't hear any of his music -not even the Hymns,and not think of the sad way he lived and died. Definitely Blue!

Tony Bennett does a fine rendition of It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year also, but Andy is still favorite. ;)

Expectations are planned disappointments.
