I have a few.
Anyone ever work holiday retail? I bet you have a few as well, hahaha
Mine include: Christmas Wrapping (The Waitresses) and Bruce Springsteen's version of Santa Claus Is Coming To Town, both make me want to claw my own eyes out.
You might also enjoy...

A couple years ago I filled in as a receptionist in a salon for a friend for 4 weeks during nov-dec and they played "Santa Baby" by Jessica Simpson like 20times a day!!! I can't stand that song anymore!
-
I actually really hate the Christmas Shoes song, it always makes me sad
I also don't like any Mariah Carey Christmas stuff, she's the worst! lol!
-
@TurtleDoves: haha yes! that's what happens.. when I hear the Boss say, "you know what time it is!??" at the beginning of Santa Claus Is Coming to Town, I just about go into convulsions, I can't take it!
-
@prettylizy: I actually thought Christmas Shoes was a joke, like a parody song or something. It's so terrible. Like a Kathi Lee Gifford song or something!
-
I have a list too! "Christmas Shoes" is my absolute least favorite, just too over the top. Then "Same Old Lang Syne" (met my old lover in the grocery store.....ugh). Then a slew of carols changed to have a local theme, like Sippin in Seattle's Latte Land (to the tune of walking in a winter wonderland), that are on the radio here all the time! But in general, I love Christmas music!
DH hates Alvin and the Chipmunks
So I'm convinced it will be our LOs favorite!
-
+1 to Christmas Shoes. I hate all slow/sad Christmas music, which basically is all religious Christmas music as well.
-
Ahhh, so excited to hear I'm not the only one who hates Christmas Shoes!
My friends always made me feel bad about it, lol.
-
More Christmas Shoes hate here. I can't STAND that song.
-
Where are you Christmas by Faith Hill, and Dominic the Donkey. SO ANNOYING.
-
Umm I loved working holiday retail because of the music! I'm lame.
Least favorite songs: Christmas Shoes & Happy Birthday, Jesus (sung by little children) & Where Are You Christmas...I hate the super sappy ones
-
@tororojo: I LOVE working holiday retail, I miss it so much this time of year! For 7 years I worked part time at VS, they even gave us pink satin Santa hats to wear, LOVED IT!
99.5% of Christmas music I love but there are a few that drive me nuts. I blame Bath & Body Works Holiday 1999, hehe
-
Christmas Wrapping is my favourite Christmas song of all time!!!
I can't stand that Destiny's Child one based around the 12 Days of Christmas where their true love buys them some dirty jeans (????) and a freaking Mercedes - and and quality t.i.m.e, too! Bet that day was a shock! I don't see what's wrong with maids a milking and the customary partridge, myself.... Makes me want punch someone!
-
Agreed on Springsteen's Santa Claus is Coming to Town...ugh! I've also never liked Little Drummer Boy. Christmas Shoes. That one about Snoopy (Snoopy vs. The Red Baron).
-
@rachiecakes: I worked for Limited Brands, too--I bet the music selection was similar. I miss it!
@Cherrybee: don't forget the diamond belly ring!
-
@Cherrybee: WTH? I never heard of this song. Sounds super lame!!!
-
I hate Blue Christmas. I find it whiny and sad.
-
Another vote for Springsteen's version of Santa claus is Coming to Town. I hate it soooo much. Especially the whiny part where he goes "saaaaaaaaaanta claus is coming to town...". Other haters will know what I mean!
Also, working at TJ Maxx over christmas has me hating "Hey, Santa" by Wilson Phillips. I also had a really odd coworker that year who would insert anyone's name into it and sing it all the time...ugh.
-
@rachiecakes: ohhhhhhh yes. I totally agree on the Springsteen cover!!!
I also dislike a lot of pop remakes of Christmas carols. I prefer the classics like Bing Crosby.
-
aww sad to see so many Christmas Shoes haters lol I think it's a sweet song.. but I have always liked sad songs lol!
@MrsTiz: um... that seems like a kind of harsh generalization.
I can't stand Santa baby!!!
-
I totally came to bash Christmas shoes too! Then again, I generally dislike kids' singing, ha
-
Dudes, I have no idea what song Christmas Shoes is...
I'll chime in with those that though Blue Christmas was whiney (yes) and The Boss maybe missed the mark a little with Santa Claus is Comin' to Town. I'm not a huge fan of Feliz Navidad...it's too repetitive for me.
-
Another vote for Christmas Shoes. Fun fact: did you all know that Neil Patrick Harris made a TV movie sequel to the song? He plays the little boy all grown up...

I also can't stand the Chipmunks Christmas song (the name is escaping me) and whatever the Justin Beiber rapping one was...
I worked at Old Navy over Christmas several years ago, and omg I wanted to stuff cotton in my ears after months (yes, MONTHS) of listening to Christmas Pop.
-
@FutureMrsMcK: that movie??? wow. I love NPH and this sounds so craptacular that I might have to find it and watch it!
-
Grandma got run over by a Reindeer.... don't know why but it's always annoyed me
-
I dislike pretty much every Christmas song that's not a hymn or on Hanson's Christmas album
-
i can't stand any version of little drummer boy. it makes NO sense to me. the ox and lamb CANNOT keep time. it's just not right.
-
@birdofafeather: I like to picture Mary bobbing her head and the ox and lamb tapping their feet. Maybe if you do that it will become your favorite Christmas song?
-
I always change the station when I hear "I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus.." . I know DD is going to start asking questions and I just do'nt want to have to explain!!
DH really hates Christmas shoes... his mom died when he was young and I think thats why
-
@Ms.JaneDo: I'm with you--I've never heard of the Christmas Shoes song. And it appears that I probably won't want to!
12 Days of Christmas gets too long, although I liked singing it as a kid.
-
@Mrs. Pen: Not really. Just because I don't like the music doesn't mean I don't like the meaning behind it
Away in a Manger, the First Noel, Silent Night, All ye Faithful are all slow, sleepy songs!
-
@MrsTiz: Go tell it on the mountain, angels we have heard on high, hark the herald angels song, joy to the world, need I go on??! And those are just the classics
So I'm convinced it will be our LOs favorite!
Away in a Manger, the First Noel, Silent Night, All ye Faithful are all slow, sleepy songs!
