What a great question. I pretty much hate them all.

Any "modern" take on a Xmas carol sets my teeth on edge, but yes, Jingle Bell Rock sucks the hardest.

Silent Night is lovely though. That's the only one I can stomach.

My grandmother has always hated the song "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer", and we've always played it at least once every Christmas just to get a rise out of her. She had a stroke last year, and she is really confused about a lot of things (sometimes to the point of not remembering her own name), but when the Christmas music inevitably started playing over Thanksgiving and "Grandma Got Run Over" came on, she was just as irritated as ever. It was pretty cool, considering the fact that three hours earlier she couldn't remember whose daughter I am.

One of my top despised Christmas songs is All I Want for Christmas, and I hope I never forget how much I dislike it.

After working retail for 60+ hours per week during the holiday season for a couple of years, ALL OF THEM.

"A Wonderful Christmas Time" by Paul McCartney is THE all time brain-stabbiest xmas tune by far. I find that the others get irritating when you've heard them for the zillionth time on the PA system of every store in town, but this one is horrific right out of the gate and continues its sadistic attack with a relentless repetition of the chorus beating you about the psyche for what feels like a literal eternity.

I don't really care, because I can always just start singing "Last Christmas" by Wham! and all is right in my world.

But the barking dogs, and Jingle Bell Rock, are both pretty horrible.

"All I Want For Christmas is My Two Front Teeth". It's fucking horrible.

Jingle Bells Rock.

And now it is going round my head, arrgh.

"Christmas in the Northwest," "Living in a Latte Wonderland," and "Christmas Shoes." AWFUL

That version of Jingle Bells with the back up singers screeching "I like a sleigh ride, I like a sleigh ride." I know it's Peggy Lee, but that shit sets my teeth on edge.

Either the "Jingle Bells" by the barking dogs, or "Christmas Time is Here Again" by the Chipmonks.

How about you?

The worst is "Santa Claus is Comin' to Town" by Bruce Springsteen. Seriously, it's so awful. I am a person that like Christmas music, but that song is bad, and The Boss makes it worse. Stabby.

The list of Christmas songs I don't hate is much shorter...Vince Guaraldi Trio - A Charlie Brown Christmas, The Vandals - Oi to the World!, Wham's "Last Christmas," and I'll tolerate any of the crooner stuff when I'm at my parents' house. But anything that can be classified as a Christmas carol or a novelty song is like having athlete's foot in my ear.

Really, the biggest problem is Christmas Creep. The Christmas season doesn't start right after Thanksgiving anymore, it starts in mid-October. So we have to put up with over 2 months of listening to the same shitty songs over and over if we ever go out in public. It's enough to drive even the most sane of person mad.

I don't know what the hell it is, but I keep hearing this one song this season whenever I'm shopping. It's this guy with a super deep voice wailing, "Is that you? Santy Claus?" I want to punch my brains in whenever it comes on.

Edit: Upon googling it seems this was recorded by Louis Armstrong. I still hate it.

Dashing through the snow is particularly vulnerable to repetition, and hearing it more than once in a row is enough to make one grind their teeth.

I don't like christmas music, except for the chipmunks christmas song and the Charlie Brown christmas music. That said, Little Drummer Boy makes me nearly spit in anger.

Grandma bought Action Jackson (my 3 y/o son) some horrid singing bear for xmas last year and the fucker is still singing strong. And Jack loves it, natch. The thing only knows one song and I now hate it. It's "Up On The Housetop". The song sucks in every way a song can suck. The rhymes are awkward, the lyrics just lame. Song is much older than I thought so I guess it gets some points for that, but I still hate it.

BUT! You have dissed Eartha Kitt and now have a special place on my shit list.

I'm with E. Strange. ALL of them. Anything on repeat makes me crazy.

I love traditional carols sung by a choir. I am not fond of any recorded Xmas music if I hear it more than once a week or so.

Anything performed by Natalie Cole. I was working in a store one holiday season and I swear every other song was her. By the end of the year I wanted to kill myself whenever I heard her voice. To this day I still have that reaction.

The only Christmas song worse than "Happy Birthday Jesus" is Roger Christian's cringe-inducing "Little Mary Christmas."

Anything overtly religious playing in the damn grocery store. War on Christmas my ass.

I rather like "Let it Snow"...cute, secular, wintry, and the guy who wrote it was a Cohen.

Being the token "parrot person" in the Pets section I would have to say I am more enamored hearing my guys use my own language, so any song that is made up of dogs barking or cats meowing pretty much is on that list for me.

Oh man, I LOVE Santa Baby. But only Eartha Kitt's version.

Silent Night gets me every time. It's like a fucking funeral march. The part of Christmas I like is the festivity and fun, and Silent Night is too slow and deliberate to capture any of that for me.

"Santa Baby" makes my ears bleed, and is high on the creep-o-meter. Any of those accursed Chipmunks songs are enough to make someone go batshit, too.

"Baby It's Cold Outside." Date rape does not lift my Christmas spirits.
