Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer is the best Christmas song. The violence helps convey my feelings when my family inevitably tortures me with Christmas music.

There are so many awful things about that song. Their voices really make me want to hurl.

I don't think it is terrible. Taylor Swift's cover is A LOT worse! Also, if you hear some of the garbage christmas music they play where I work "Last Christmas" would be a welcome reprieve for your ears!0

I LOVE that song. Last Christmas is in my top 5 favorite Christmas songs.
The best songs are all punk remakes like Oi To The World.0 -

My least favorite holiday song would probably be the one Adam Sandler did -- can't remember the name or Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer.
It's actually about Hanukkah since he's Jewish...

Taylor Swift is terrible in general. So I believe it. And I will not listen to it.

This or "I'd like to hitch a ride with Santa Claus". Always disliked the drummer boy one too. Bah Humbug!
I really like the style of "Baby It's Cold Outside" and I think the overlapping lines between the male and female singers is pretty clever - but I absolutely cannot and will not deny the amount of creepy. There are moments in the song where it seems like she's kind of into the flirting but then he starts trying for something more. Persistence isn't necessarily a bad thing, but the fact that she repeatedly says "no" and also says "what's in this drink?" kills the potential charm. I recently read that, on top of all the rapey banter in the song (can I say "rapey" on MFP?), the sheet music lists the male part as "wolf" and the female part as "mouse"...which is also creepy.
I've never heard "I'd like to hitch a ride with Santa Claus," but I also dislike the drummer boy one. As a child, it gave me nightmares...I don't know why, exactly, but there's something in the music that gives me a weird feeling. I also tend to dislike Christmas music from the TV show Glee and country-flavored Christmas music (such as that version of "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus")... but I do like Vince Vance and the Valiants' "All I Want for Christmas Is You."
I think I need to look up Muppets Christmas music. Their cover/parody of Bohemian Rhapsody was really entertaining (and I'm a hardcore Queen fan), so I think if they did Christmas music, it could be a serious improvement over some of the Christmas songs that get played.0 -

LOL, ok I admit, the Muppets stuff is actually kinda fun. But every year though.....0 -

My sister calls that "the rape song" Ugh..plus I heard one version in a song one day, and at the end he's all like, "but if you go outside you'll get pneumonia and die". I don't know if that's in all versions, but he sings that all happily, and then it goes off. WTF. That song is really the worst.
Ew........that adds another layer of gross to the creepy.
After reading all the comments up so far, it's funny to see that some of the songs I'm least annoyed by are some of the ones that make other people want to break things and hurt people. For example, McCartney's "Wonderful Christmastime" is one that I like because it's bouncy (although I do understand how some of the sounds/instruments could be really annoying to people), and another poster said that it makes him/her want to stick hot pokers in his/her ears.
I think it's cool that we can all come here and complain about Christmas songs together. I'm the kind of person who normally gets excited about Christmas six months early; I'll ride around in summer with the windows down in my car and have the Drifters' "White Christmas" (which absolutely annoys my mom) playing on the radio. This year, I'm just about sick of all of them. I started listening to Christmas songs on one of my local radio stations on November 15th; by Thanksgiving, I was tired of hearing the 22 songs (or the 17 songs and different versions) that I like.0 -
Ever since I saw this darn thread, this song has been CONSTANTLY in my head...make it stop! Lol0

Best Christmas song ever . . .
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8YQqK5e5es 0 -
I used to love "Baby it's Cold Outside" and "Santa Baby" (Eartha Kitt version - Madonna's sucks), now, not so much (rapey and greedy - how are those nice things for the holidays?) as for "Last Christmas," I was just thinking about that this morning - how is that even a Christmas song? Aside from timing, it isn't about Christmas, its about someone with dependency issues who, a year later, can't get over an ex. Little Drummer Boy makes me cry (I've given people poems (that weren't completely atrocious - only slightly) because I couldn't afford a more material gift) when I hear it. I used to love Christmas carols, but now I'm still trying to balance liking the music itself while finding the lyric content to be, usually lacking. Need more Weird Al, Punk, comedy, and TSO("Christmas Canon" and "Wizards in Winter" are not their only songs darnit) holiday songs on the radio.

Jingle Cats hands down best Christmas music ever!
I've always played it for my cats over the years but, sadly, this year I'm without a cat. Had my 17 year old put down two weeks ago. 0
