Christmas Songs that annoy you!!

Grannybags

That would be torture for me MissA! (except maybe the quality streets...)

Ah, but then they add more horrors.

Those dates that say "eat me" on the box first... followed by the jellied lemon and lime slices...
Newberry Fruits next....

Oh yuk that would be awful!! 🤢

Love Carols- just hate them in american style version on a loop in Commercial Centres andsupermarkets- especially from beg of November. I just get out if that happens.

I love most all Christmas songs. November and December are chilly, difficult months - but Christmas songs are generally wonderful. Someone always records a better version to anything less than stellar.

I'm not one to watch much TV, but I love Christmas movies.

Love Actually, Die Hard, Scrooge, White Christmas, and so many more.

LEAVE PROPER CAROLS ALONE!
Thank you

Well said!

I dislike every song mentioned so far apart from Mariah Carey’s. I quite like that one. I think because my grandchildren like it and we have a dance to it.

My most hated is Little Drummer Boy. I can’t bear to listen to it no matter who is singing. I wish I hadn’t thought of it now

Thank you

Agreed.

I love proper carols, but preserve me from sentimental ‘Christmas songs’

I don’t like John Rutter’s banal carols. I miss Christmas concerts (too old to sing now) except I am relieved I am no longer expected to sing Rutter.

When a child is born makes me cringe.
Particularly the part where Johnny Mathis speaks.

know wotcha mean.
I also hate the Slade song, always did, and the sickly Mariah Carey one as well.
Like Stop The Cavalry though.

Little Drummer Boy, awful song, as is Grandad and Two Little Boys.I think they were all Christmas top ten hits at one time.

Oh what about the little girls singing about being a poor little sparrow?
Was that a christmas one?

I'm sorry but I really like All I Want For Christmas and my other favourite is Fairytale Of New York. Other than that it's carols. I can even remember the French ones we used to sing at school.

I love the Mariah Carey one.

Dunno
When was that 70’s? You don’t mean Rockin’ Robin?
Hey! That’s another song I hate,
Fairytale of NY, shudder.

Twiddlg diddly diddly diddly dee!
He rocks in the treetops all day long...

Sorry MissA but not even Bing Crosby and David Bowie could convince me to like that song!

Here’s the Little Sparrow song for you

I cannot stand Fairytale of New York. I hated it when it was released. Then it used to annoy me because people would say it was their favourite Christmas song just to be different. But they weren't different. I was the different one because I loathed it. Just thinking about it now is making me pound on. my keyboard. Practically got smoke coming from my laptop.

I don't really have much of an opinion of any others. But I do like Greg Lake's I Believe in Father Christmas. Even though Greg said it was not intended to be a Christmas song.

That's the one I like, by Gregg Lake, zoejory.

It's very poignant.

Awful, isn't it?

I love the Greg Lake one, forgotten that.
Zoejory I wonder if people listen to the words of Fairytale of NY because it’s so depressing, the opposite of a Christmas song.

Zoejory I was picturing you there singing Fairytale of New York at the top of your voice while playing the tune on your Yamaha keyboard! 😆

Crossed post, grannynanny Awful, isn't it?

It’s grim. I wonder where all those girls are now. And if any of them are here on Gransnet they’ll own up.

Could well be some around.
People do hint at celebrity every so often..

Posted this last Christmas - Ian Brady tortured and murdered Lesley Ann Downey while Little Drummer Boy played in the background. Should be banned.

I’m not keen on any Christmas songs TBH - they do nothing in shops to encourage me to spend - sometimes I can’t get out fast enough.
