Everybody has a list. Here's mine, in no particular order.
Christmas Shoes - This has to be the sappiest song ever written. And it makes no sense. A kid's mom is terminally ill, so his dad lets him wander away from the hospital with maybe thirty-five cents in his pocket (okay, I made that number up. But it's based on research with an actual child.
I am sick today, so you get a reblog. It's the time of year when all the radio stations and shipping malls are regaling you with Christmas tunes, anyway, so I'm not that early. Heck, Hallmark has their ornament premiere in July, so I might even be a little late. Anyway, enjoy.

Just cos you’re not feeling well doesn’t mean you can ruin our day too! Seriously though, hope you feel better soon

How did I not comment on this last year? Had I not yet found your blog a year ago? Because it boggles my mind that, unless I missed it, no one mentioned “Santa Baby.” I loathe every single thing about that song, and no, it does not matter whether Eartha Kitt or Madonna is singing it. It’s horrible.

Gah, it was IMPOSSIBLE to get here via the reader, it kept taking me to the other post WHICH I HAVE ALREADY READ MORE THAN ONCE.
I had to click on the home page, then come to the comments. Bluh.
Feel better soon, my friend. <3

Yeah, it won’t let me add its own title, either. It shows up as untitled in my notifications, but there’s a title here.
I’m on the mend, just taking it easy a little. Or I’m a slacker.

You forgot “Little St. Nick” by the Beach Boys. Ugh!

I don’t think I have ever heard that one. Why am I tempted to look it up on Youtube?

I love every Christmas song going. Even ‘Christmas Tree’ by Dustin the Turkey! Perhaps its just an Irish thing but I get so blinded by the joys of Christmas I cant see what is good and bad

I am way behind do I hope you are feeling better by now!
My mother hated “Silver Bells”. I guess the time she spent as a department store clerk killed that song for her.
