Any least favorites? I personally can't stand It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year.

And Christmas Shoes can go away now.

No-one has mentioned anything from The Muppet Christmas Carol. What about the song from the Ghost of Christmas Present?

"It's in the singing of a street corner choir..." (Does the arm shuffling dance around the room... ) or "We're Marley and Marley...wwhhhoaaaa" by Staedtler and Waldorf??

By the way Brandon, great choice on Sarah McLachlan, Wintersong. I'd also add these three:

Carpenters - Merry Christmas Darling
Kate Bush - December Will Be Magic Again
Jona Lewie - Stop The Cavalry
Kate Winslet - What If... (seriously, it's lovely)

Oh, that wretched Christmas Shoes song.

I also dislike "Wonderful Christmastime" (Why, Paul, why?) and Barbra Streisand's version of "Jingle Bells."

It has to be amongst my least favorite holiday songs as well. I can't put my finger on what it is I hate most about it, but it truly makes me nauseous. In my list of the very nadir of holiday songs.
