What’s your least favorite Christmas song? You know the ones I mean. As soon as you hear it, you cringe inside and turn it off, if that’s possible. Sometimes it’s not the song itself, but a particular version of it. I heard Cher sing “O Holy Night” on the radio while driving and nearly ran off the road. I was used to how my mom sang it. She’s an opera-trained soprano. Hearing Cher launch into the high notes with her pop voice made it impossible to focus on my driving.
I don’t think I’ve ever heard a version of “Feliz Navidad” I like. I do like the upbeat tune, but the endlessly repeating lyrics makes me reach for the button or anti-anxiety meds.
So let me hear from you. Which one is your least favorite Christmas song?
I don’t like the song containing lyrics “I’m getting nothing for Christmas.” I consider it the anti-Christmas song. A kid brags about his bad behavior.
The John Lennon one: “So This Is Christmas” (I think is the title) is so depressing to listen to. I turn it off every time.
I’d forgotten about that one. Probably because I do the same thing–turn it off before he gets to “Christmas”.
