I like to sing Paul McCartney's "Wonderful Christmas Time" like this:
simmmm-PLY, DRIV-ing, a fork into my hand.
Because I HATE that song. In case you couldn't tell. :)
This is sim-PLY the best worst-list ever. Can I add "The Christmas Shoes" to it? I know I offend people when I say I hate that song, but I do. I hate it. I also hate anything Christmasy sung by Aaron Neville or Jewel.
I do love when I hear that awesome concert band arrangement of Sleigh Ride with the great jingle bells and horse whip!
I simmmmm-PLY love all Christmas music. Except one I've recently heard about a guy who meets his old lover, they have some drinks, and realize that they aren't happy now. Seriously, how is that about the holiday spirit???
Katers.
I don't know how I know this. Dan Fogelberg, "Same old Lang Syne".
Ends with, and all acquiantance be forgot. blah blah blah blah blah blah..
I agree not really a festive holiday song.

HAPPY 29TH JEAN!! Enjoy the last year of your 20's!!
Happy Birthday, Jean!
Lucky we don't share a CD player as our Christmas favs/unfavs are totally reversed. My very favorite song is P. McCartney's "Wonderful Christmas Time". We heard Paul and Linda do it live many years ago at the Rosemont and it was really special. I can't stand the marbles in Celine's mouth (am I too mean?)
Anyway, enjoy your birthday season and Happy Christmas shopping,
Aunt Betty
OMG, Dan Fogelberg just DIED. Did you hear!?!? Kate and Joel must have had something to do with it!!
Now Aunt Betty, you have a very good reason to like that McCartney song, as you heard it live. I like the Carpenters songs because I think Karen's voice sounded like my Aunt Jan's. I agree with you about Celine and the marbles, but I don't hear them in "O Holy Night." Thanks for the birthday shout-out!
