It's traditional for a local FM station to start mixing in Christmas music after Thanksgiving. A few years ago they decided to go all Christmas music between Thanksgiving and Christmas.  So I stop listening to them during this time. |

 You're mean, Tenn. I used to work at a place that "relooped" the same music every 3 or 4 hours, so I was tormented with this song at least twice a day. There were a few others I didn't like, but this one was the worst.

Favorite song? It depends on the day...
Right now... I just can't get a very young Ella Fitzgerald singing "Santa Claus got stuck in my Chimney" out of my head... the juxtaposition between innocence and that double entendre... just makes me laugh.
And then pretty much anything by Annie Lennox, but this nod to the pagan/origins of the holiday in God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen makes me smile too.
(Love the Oak King/Holly King cycle of the seasons....)
But, really, Dean Martin is probably my favorite Christmas Blues:
And
Blue Christmas:

uhm, none of them. I will cause you bodily harm if you get in my way of changing the station.
- everybody that has ever worked retail,
any time, everywhere.
that said, I do love Willie Nelson's Pretty Paper. that isn't one that ever got overplayed, and brings me very fond memories of driving with my dad and his 8-track in the old El Camino. I'm not sure I've ever actually heard the song after dad's 8-track player finally died, unless I actively sought it out.

woof, please no. not that one, ever. I actually just looked up Pretty Paper so that I didn't get the earworm for *that* one. you're welcome. this thread got a girl who hasn't celebrated Christmas in decades past entertaining family who did, to look up a Christmas song on Thanksgiving night. well (?) done.

I am not much of a country music person yet I still love Willie Nelson. And, While this is not a Christmas song it tickles my funny bone

OK, I'll admit I love the Trans Siberian Orchestra. Like it's a mystery. Wish they had been closer for me to see Christmas concert but I did get to see Beethoven's Last Night concert!! This will be my last TSO song!!! |

This one is overplayed, but still makes me smile: There's a Cajun version of that our local station plays every year that makes us howl no matter how many times we hear it |
