Staff Avoidances - Our Least Favorite Holiday Songs

Because, sometimes, the best advice isn't about what you SHOULD see, it's about what you should keep away from. Below are the results of a poll asking staff members to list their least favorite holiday songs.

"The Little Drummer Boy" (Original title "Carol of the Drum," written by Katherine Kennicott Davis in 1941)

• "Pa-Rum-Pa-Pum-Pum - can't stand that line. It's like fingernails on a chalk board to me."

"Wonderful Christmastime" (Written by Paul McCartney in 1979)

• "I love Paul McCartney, but I don't like this song. I have no explanation why."
• "I agree!!!"

"Feliz Navidad" (Written by José Feliciano in 1970)

• "OMG - over and over and over. Makes me want to hurt people."

"Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer" (Written by Randy Brooks in 1979)

• "Please. Once in a lifetime is enough."
• "So agree!"

"Dominick the Donkey" (Written by Ray Allen, Sam Saltzberg, and Wanda Merrell in 1960)

• "Most annoying, but oh, so awesome! (Not)"
• "This song makes me want to punch a radio. Donkey...your reckoning will come."

"All I Want for Christmas is You" (Written by Mariah Carey in 1994)

• "This song NEEDS TO NEVER BE PLAYED EVER AGAIN!"
• "Incorrect; Mariah is flawless."

"Any Christmas Song Done By a Country Singer!" (That's a whole category, not a song title.)

"A Holly Jolly Christmas" (Written by Johnny Marks in 1964)

• "When it...comes on the radio - I quickly turn the dial - you can't get it out of your head!"
• "Agreed!"

"I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus" (Written by Tommie Conner in 1952)

• "I'm sorry, no matter who sings it, it is Disturbing!!"

"Santa Baby" (Written by Joan Javits in 1953)

• "Okay, 'Santa Baby' is my pick. There is no singer who doesn't make it sound creepy. Michael Bublé sings it with particular weirdness, and I love that jazzy Canuck."

"In brief summary - All of them!"
