Which Christmas song do you hate the most?

[Thomasina79]

I particularly loathe all I want for Christmas is you by Mariah Carey

Any Cliff Richard ones

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas

Fairytale of New York

Merry Christmas, Everyone

The one where Noddy Holder shouts 'It's Chriiiistmasssss!'

I quite like Wombling Merry Christmas

"Merry Christmas, Everyone"

"The one where Noddy Holder shouts 'It's Chriiiistmasssss!'"

That's interesting, why do you say that?

I remember growing up with that, I was 8 when it was released. Then even as a teenager I remember it was popular and played at discos and nightclubs every Christmas when I was a teenager/early 20s.

ps sorry to bring such a sober note into this but there was a BBC article about this from last year, here:

Noddy Holder remembers Christmas hit written after a trip to the pub

With the recent debate about the assisted suicide bill, it seemed poignant reading this sentence:

"In 2018, Holder was diagnosed with oesophageal cancer and told he only had a few months to live."

Yet he is still here six years later. I really do wonder just how much pressure people will come under in the future "to do the right thing".

Think it’s called Christmas Wrapping by The Waitresses - so annoying!

Two of my favourite Christmas songs.

This year for some reason the older ones from the 70s/80s are making me feel a bit sad. Probably just my age .

Step Into Christmas and Wonderful Christmastime. Nauseating.

I can drown out the rest.
I quite like Slade and The Spaceman. Carols are much better. Wish they would play them more.

Anything by Michael Buble or Bruce Springsteen is worthy of not being listened to.

I really hate the Band Aid one. All those egos out screaming each other "Look! I am doing this for charity!"

I love the Slade one. the Wizzard one and even Maria Carey so there!

Do They Know It's Christmas? doesn't bother me. It was a remarkable musical and logistical feat and was well-intentioned.

Little drummer boy, I think it's the 'ba rum pa pum pum' that irritates me.
Step into Christmas by Elton John

St Etienne - I Was Born on Christmas Day. Thankfully not played on the radio often as it’s offensive to my ears.

Yes, "The twelve days of Christmas" (not the song, the idea) has been replaced with "the ninety days BEFORE Christmas". In a way, it's great that Christmas comes to an abrupt end on 26th December. Or as Bridget Jones observes in the book, "Christmas is rammed down our throats from months beforehand, and then snatched away on 26th just as you are starting to enjoy it".

It really drives me mad when I hear the phrase "Happy Holiday" referring to Christmas. I know it's the American term for any celebration, but it still annoys me. It also reminds me of when the Daily Mail would say things like "you can't say Christmas, it offends non-Christians: you have to say "winterval" instead". (I haven't heard this cliché for ages; and then someone on Mumsnet always points out that Christmas was not originally a Christian celebration.)
