What are Your Most and Your Least Favorite Christmas Songs?

We're all hearing Christmas songs nonstop right now. Most of them I love and could listen to all year, but there are one or two that I just about go bonkers when they play them.

My Favorite - Oh Holy Night (Clay Aiken version)

Least Favorite - Santa Baby (by anyone!)

Oh, and if you have never seen the youtube version of "Let There Be Peace on Earth - An American Soldier Christmas," you just have to see it:

I cannot stand the Paul McCartney one, Simply Having a Wonderful Christmastime, George Michael's Last Christmas, Bon Jovi's Please Come Home For Christmas (I prefer the Eagle's version) and a few others, but these are the first ones I think of.

I really like Greg Lake's I Believe In Father Christmas, Willie Nelson's Pretty Paper, Blue Christmas by Elvis, John Lennon's Happy Christmas Was is Over and Celine Dion's Oh Holy Night. There are others, but these are probably my favorites.

Love, Mary Did You Know, also Joseph's song, so many of the Carols are lovely. Do not like most of the secular songs!

I love almost all of them, but there area a few I cannot stand. Among them are the original Feliz Navidad and any version of the Little Drummer Boy... Sorry, but the whole parumpapapum thing works my last nerve...

Absolutely, positively THE WORST Christmas song is McCartney's "Simply Having a Wonderful Christmastime". Instant headache. If they play it in a store while I'm trying to shop, I can't concentrate on anything.

Apart from the old standards, Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You" makes me want to turn up the volume and start dancing, every time. Great vocals, great song.
