Favorite and Least Favorite Christmas Songs

[skcin]

Late, but I don't care. Faves:

O Holy Night - Martina McBride's or Celine Dion's version give me chills. Kelly Clarkson's is fabulous vocally, but too choppy musically. HATE Harry Connick Jr's version, which I just heard this year. It actually made me feel a little scared.

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas - Judy or The Pretenders

Little Drummer Boy - Peggy Lee (just heard this version, I really like it) Bob Seger's also.

Baby It's Cold Outside - Dean Martin. Oh, and Tom Jones, for some bizarre reason

Happy Xmas (War is Over) - Melissa Etheridge

Christmas Day - Dido

River - Sarah McLachlan's version

Please Come Home For Christmas - The Eagles

Blue Christmas - Elvis

Santa Claus is Coming To Town - Eye Sack & Stevie

Jingle Bells - Jimmy Buffett

All I Want For Christmas Is You - Mariah Carey

Baby Please Come Home: The Ronettes

Santa Baby - Madonna



Not so much:

Feliz Navidad - I swear, if they had played this one more time over the holidays I was going to tear out my car stereo with my bare hands. Same goes for It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year.

Suzy Snowflake - I couldn't agree more, David.

Mary Did You Know - Clay Aiken. Barf.

Most newer Xmas songs, which don't really sound like Christmas songs, they just throw the word "Christmas" in there a few times for the hell of it. Christmas Shoes, Dear Mr. Jesus, etc.

Happy Holidays. It's the way she says at the end "Merry Christmas! Happy Holidays!" that irks me for some reason.
