What's your least favourite Christmas song?

[fenellavonspurtz]

Mine is White Christmas cos when Bing starts whistling it really gets on my nerves!! I know it's a classic blah blah blah but it's so simpery. Anyone else a Grinch about a certain Xmas song?

Ok just caught up. As you were.
Both are brill.

I like most of these mentioned - and think Winter's Tale is such a sweet wistful love song!

I used to think that until it was on some nineties program that Tony Mortimer wrote it after his brother died. Now I think it's actually really beautiful but has sadly now got the connotations of silly coats.

Mine are Mariah Bastard Carey and Michael Bastard Bublé.
The former is X factor girl band dross, the latter standing in a lift in a hotel dross.
Also the answer to my Christmas Quiz at school "which singers are Pafmo's least favourites"

fairy of New York- loved it for years but my god do they have to play it a hundred times a day everywhere?!?!?

Winter's Tale is my absolute favourite.
Snow, David Essex and being 17 when it came out and drinking cider and snogging people. <sigh>

Oh God, so many.

Last Christmas by Wham
Wonderful Christmastime
I wish it could be Christmas every day
Merry Xmas (War is over)

I also can’t stand:

Away in a manger
Silent night

mainly because our choirmistress at school got all the girls to sing them really high. Really difficult to sing

Step Into Christmas and Wonderful Christmastime are crap

Merry Xmas War is Over is a droney one

Also turn off Michael Buble, he must be the canniest man alive to make such a lucrative career from covering others' Xmas songs with a bang average voice!

A lot of these songs probably sounded better at the time but have been played to death for decades every November/December.

There's barely a mention of a song in this thread that's less than 25 years old.

Happy Xmas, war is over . I don't know why but it makes me feel sad . Also thank god its christmas by Queen.

I was sat in Costa the other day and his Christmas album was on. Absolute shite.

I can not stand Mary Had a Baby by Bruce Cockburn. Sounds like a bunch of mumbling chanting.

All I want for Christmas, Mariah Carey. I detest it and turn it off every time.

When a child is born. Cringeworthy.

Another vote for Fairytale of sodding New York. Nasty, faux-sentimental drivel. No idea why people claim to love it so much

The new Lizzo one because it's the worst earworm ever!

Feliz navidad gives me the rage 😡

Fairytale of New York.
I’d rather listen to a baby crying or someone digging up a road than listen to that song.

One More Sleep by Leona Lewis is my favourite and completely underrated imho.

'It's Beginning to Look a Lot like Christmas', by anyone, even Michael Buble. It makes me cringe.

Mariah Fucking Carey.

Band Aid - do they know it's Christmas

I find the whole thing pretty tone deaf in its message.

It isn’t. Chris Rea does not sing A Spaceman Came Travelling. That is Chris de Burgh. 🙄

All of them are abhorrent.

Little Saint Nick.
'He don't miss no one' and the whole 'run run reindeer' part make me irrationally angry!

Mariah Fucking Carey
Little Drummer Boy (as above)
Pipes of Peace
Step Into Christmas

Tom Jones & Cerys Matthews is a cover of a song from 1944 written by a bloke to sing with his wife at parties.

Fairy Tale Of New York is about a toxic couple of addicts.
