    I love all of the Christmas songs. How else am I going to prep the halls? I suppose that if I had to pick my least favorite, I would pick the Chipmunk’s “Christmas Don’t Be Late” or the “All I Want for Christmas” song.

  12. Conor says

    “I Saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus” – it was a traumatic experience and my parent’s marriage has yet to recover

  24. Haleigh Parmer says

    I’m a teacher and have been playing Christmas music for the last couple of weeks so I’m going to say any kid Christmas song.

  40. Hugh T says

    without a doubt, the chipmunk song – pretty sure that anything sung by the chipmunks ranks in the worst songs ever

  43. Phil A says

    I agree with Christmas Shoes – although Dan Fogelberg’s “Same Old Lang Syne” while perhaps not a proper Christmas song (it does take place on Christmas Eve however) may be even worse. Bad song and terrible sentiment.

  45. Ashleigh L says

    I would like to never hear Little Drummer Boy again, that the one that has always tap danced on my last nerve.

  48. Jim says

    Any mall singer cover versions of Christmas songs, when they are in the middle of the mall blocking of up traffic and you’re really trying to shop…

  57. Chris says

    Does any Christmas song before Thanksgiving count? A radio station in my town started playing nonstop Christmas on Halloween night! Although I don’t think they do while they broadcast Deliah at night. Then again that’s worse I believe.

  64. Angela McKaskle says

    “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Clause” weird, awkward and confusing for all children out there.

  72. Annie Whitehouse says

    I never want to hear the version of Jackson 5’s Santa Claus is coming to town that’s acoustic ever again. That got weird…and repetitive

  76. Heather says

    There’s a terrible song they play in DC called “Christmas Eve in Washington”, I had to stop listening to the Christmas station on the radio because it’s so bad and played so often!

  78. Marty Hill says

    “Mary Christmas darling… Happy new year tooooooo” by The Carpenters. Love them, not the song, so depressing.

  81. Kat Slo says

    Christmas Don’t be late by those pesky chipmunks. They’re cute and all, but those voices for that long is like nails on a chalkboard!

  83. Saucier says

    Christmas songs themselves are fine. What irks me the most is to listen to all the unabashed rewrites that companies do of them for TV commercials. Every single year. Each more awful and tacky than the last.

  85. Beej says

    “Baby It’s Cold Outside” – If you really listen to the words it becomes a story of a man not letting a woman leave his house and trying to get her drunk. Definitely no Christmas spirit there. So creepy…

  86. Rachel Trammell says

    If you would have asked me this last year, I would have said “Christmas Shoes.” BUT. I now work with the guy who wrote that song. And he is truly a stellar dude. Like one of the most genuine and authentic and non-corny people I know — surprising, I know.

    So, I think I’ll go with “Baby its Cold Outside.” Just a tad overplayed in my book.

  104. Matt says

    “I’ll Have A Blue, Blue Christmas” – I’ve only heard the Elvis version, but it’s just too depressing for Christmas.

  109. Amy says

    The Darius Rucker version of “Baby It’s Cold Outside.” Love that song, but do not love his version.

  112. Eric Irvin says

    “Christmas Don’t Be Late” – Alvin and the Chipmunks – just like nails on a chalkboard

  113. Jim Potter says

    “Santa Claus Is Coming to Town” – especially the Bruce Springsteen version. Sorry, I’m sure it’s a favorite of some, but it just doesn’t work for me.

  114. Kathleen Adame says

    “I want a hippopotamus for Christmas”. That voice makes me cringe. Plus, hippos are one of the deadliest animals in Africa, not a smart gift to give.
