The one I dislike most of any song EVER is Everbody's Waiting for the Man With the Bag.  That song turns my stomach and unfortunately it is one of those that, once I hear it, keeps running in my head for days.  And there it goes now....!!

My big favorite Christmas song is O Holy Night, although I do love a lot of the old Christmas carols we used to sing at school that seem to have been forgotten. Does anybody remember As With Gladness Men of Old - I love that carol but never hear it any more.

I dislike all Christmas music. Really, really dislike it. "Silent Night" makes me physically ill....like I want to throw up when I hear it. I think it's a revolting song.

Hm.

That just made me think of Sinead O'Connor's singing of Silent Night.  It's the most beautiful version I ever heard.

Also, the original in German is beautiful, too. (I think.)

One of my favorite Christmas songs is the Holly and the Ivy.  Also, a German song, "Leise rieselt der Schnee."

"The Little Drummer Boy" is my least favorite.  Especially the "pa rum pa pum pum" part.

@Marienkaefer2- I love Silent Night....the embodiment of the Christmas season....especially if there is snow outside during Christmas Eve service....that's just perfect for me...

That "Simply having a Wonderful Christmastime", I can't change it fast enough

Well, the first one that comes to mind is..."Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer"...Geez, those lyrics are horrible!...They should have, at least, followed it up with Karma for Grandpa, as he was just much too happy about it all, so I have a very strong feeling that he was definitely an accomplice in her demise as well...not just the reindeer!...LOL

I do not like Little drummer boy and santa baby

One of my favorite is Merry Christmas Darling    sung by Karen Carpernter   boy do I miss her voice

---

Another great version of Merry Christmas Darling is sung by Lisa Mason.

I turn off the music when the song, I Want A Hippopotamus for Christmas, comes on. The orginal with a high-pitched voice makes me cringe.

On the way home from work we heard Elmer Fudd stuttering his way through a song.  It wasn't funny in the least.

@sunshine45  I have to ask, would that include Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer?  Grandma dies and it's kind of gory.  I always hated that song.

Other than that, I like all others I can think of.
