No Christmas song is more horrible than that goddamned "Christmas Wrapping" song about the love-lorn hipster chick who is skipping Christmas and... oh Christ, it hurts to even explain the concept.

I love the hell out of Christmas but the one good thing about it being over is not hearing that song again for another 11 months.

I still think "Dominic the Italian Christmas Donkey" is far worse.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQrdxtWgHbE

What the fuckin' fuck LFM? That's about the only Christmas song bar Fairytale of New York I can actually listen to any other time of year and actually enjoy musically.

Concept's a bit hackneyed but the song's basically just like if Blondie had released a Christmas song circa Eat To The Beat, surely not that offensive? Unless you really dislike Blondie type stuff I suppose. Still though I find it hard to understand anyone calling it a monstrosity.

That little horn melody is imprinted on the mind of every British person, ever

It's a pretty interesting one really, it's a harmless very Christmassy-sounding (despite not being intended as a 'Christmas song') ditty but with fairly dark, longing lyrics expressing the universal longing of soldiers to be with their loved ones.

I cannot escape that song. It follows me like a curse.

I don't know what to tell you. The first dozen times I thought it was cute in a bland way.

On listen two million, oh man. Oh man.

I find that song catchy and mentioned as one of the few I can stand back on page 1.

I also just realized that I haven't heard the Blink-182 christmas song in like 8 years. This is probably for the best.

Which, in turn, makes me think of Weird Al's "Christmas at Ground Zero."

I really like a couple of British Christmas songs from the 70s that were never really hits here in America and I only started hearing about 10 years ago.

Merry Christmas Everybody

I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday

I have heard these many times a day for weeks now and will continue to do so until Christmas Day itself but they're so quintessentially CHRISTMAS that it just becomes part of the atmosphere, part of the December weather, part of the feeling of Christmas. They transcend concepts of music as a piece of noise consisting of a melody, a rhythm and all the associated periphery, they're just part of you for a certain time of the year.

As such, I don't tire of them.
