What Christmas Song Could You Do Without?

I'm SO over Hall and Oates "Jingle Bell Rock." I must have come across it over 50 times.

It probably doesn't help that one station went 24/7 Christmas music on HALLOWEEN!

What can I do next?

There's this one about a little boy asking some guy for money so he can buy his dying mother some new shoes. I swear it is the sappiest, most annoying song ever. I change the station every time it comes on.

OMG! I absolutely hate the version of "Blue Christmas" sung by Elvis

I-I-I'll have a Blue (ahoooahoooahooo) Christmas (ahoooahoooahooo) without you

I-I-I'll be so Blue (ahoooahoooahooo) thinking (ahoooahoooahooo) about you

I think it's the backup singers that just annoy me to bits.

If I had a second chance it would be Feliz Navidad

Several years ago I worked at "The Gap" and at "Pottery Barn" during Christmas time. Both places played the annoying, "Last Christmas I Gave you My Heart" song over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again...Sorry, can you tell how repetitively annoying it was? ;-)

Also sick of "Feliz Navidad." Hispanics of the world need to unite and settle on a replacement song!!

I've got to jump in here even though I'm late.

The version of Jingle Bells sung by Barbara Striesand. Ladies, I'm telling you, it's like Barbara herself is punching you in the face over and over and over. It's torture! Go look it up!! See if I'm right!!

Other than that, I like most of them. I'm a Christmas Crazy person. (Although, I'll agree, the Paul McCartney one bites)

I'm evil. I love them all. :) It's the wrong season for them, though. in my family, we listen to christmas music in the summer.

Carol of the Bells was my son's FIRST favorite song. He listened to it about 50 times a day for several weeks on end. If I could only sing, I'd have that song note perfect by now! Love that song.

answers from San Diego on

It has taken me YEARS to finally be able to stand Carol of the Bells. I was in high school choir for 4 years. I was in the Classical Ensemble which was the pick of the pick so we'd do shows for things like the local country club's holiday parties and stuff like that so it was never just a couple shows, it was 10 or 15 shows in the month of Dec. It was the teacher's favorite song. We opened every single holiday show with it, used it as the warm up song before our shows, a couple months before all our shows we'd begin singing it several times a period so anyone new could learn it and we could all get our practice. It was in my dreams at night. The only reason I can listen to it now is my kids want to learn the carols and they really like it so I have gotten a new enjoyment from it because my kids are learning to sing it. Without the kids I think I would still be done with it ;)

The one with "chestnuts roasting on an open fire" so annoying. And I only like Christmas music a) while I am out doing Christmas shopping for a few minutes to get me in the mood, b) for an hour on Christmas eve and c) for an hour on Christmas morning. Oh yeah and if we go out to drive around and look at lights. For a few minutes. that's it.

I agree with everyone on Santa Baby and Christmas Shoes. Can't stand either of those! And any Christmas song sung by the Beach Boys for some reason.

And everyone that said 12 Days of Christmas -go to youtube and find the version by Straight No Chaser. I can't stand that one either, but LOVE their version of it!
