Sarah suggested that I update my most hated and most favorite Christmas songs list as it has been THREE YEARS (!) since I last posted it. I haven’t changes the list at all, but I have updated the comments (with one retraction!).
In my original post, Sarah chimed in with her two cents. And I’m going to leave her original comments. If she has changed her mind (she told me yesterday that she liked a song that she never liked before, she’ll have to do the updating herself).
Here’s my two new additions for this year. Oh and by the way, in the original post, I mentioned a couple of songs that I didn’t include in my list because we don’t own copies of them. And while that is fair, I feel compelled to mention them this year. (more…)
Boy I can’t stand this song. I know it’s supposed to be cute and racy and risque or whatever, but I simply can’t stand how crassly materialistic it is. And I’m not one who thinks Christmas is all about, like, Jesus’ birth or being good or anything. I know it’s all about the presents; however, this song is just….so…wrong. And if the Eartha Kitt version (the one you hear most of the time) 
weren’t bad enough, the Madonna version (on A Very Special Christmas) is just abysmal. She sounds like a sexually deranged Betty Boop (which I suppose is not unusual for her circa this release, but still). Stop trying to seduce Santa! Make it go away!
