I swear, if I hear Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer one more time, I may turn homicidal before Christmas. It's right up there with the 12 Days of Christmas.
"Santa looked a lot like Daddy" is so overplayed on the country stations down here. Drives me nuts.
The 12 Days of Christmas. It's like singing 99 bottles of beer on the wall. Both songs make me want to drink.
Wanna see my grandkids?
That one song where the kid is asking for a pair of shoes for his dying mom. What a sad song, I don't want to listen to that!
I think the Chipmunks have a song, drives me crazy. I don't even like Bruce Springsteen's Santa Claus is Coming to Town. Paul McCartney has a song, can't stand it either. I can tolerate Sir Bob's Feed the World.
Can't stand Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer.
I like Oh Holy Night. I love Sinead O'Connors version of Silent Night.
I want a hippopotumus for christmas.....hate that song......

Just for you "12 Days of Christmas" haters. A slightly different take on it...

For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:38-39
"The Christmas Song" drives me batty everytime I hear it! I used to work for Wal-Mart on the overnight shift and during the month of December I bet they played that damn song from every artist that has ever recorded it every 15-20 minutes!
Anyone heard Beyonce's "Ave Maria"? ....It is titled "Ave Maria" simply because she sings the PHRASE "Ave Maria" about 6 times...
I also do not like the Ashante songs. Who gives a sh*t if you made cookies at Nene's house, but all your parents bought was ice cream?
I also pretty much hate any version of "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" that isn't sung by Judy Garland. It ticks me off when they change "We'll have to muddle through somehow"... I had her version on a CD that was played at work and someone insulted her...If it wasn't F*ing Christmas I would have decked her.
My husband really hates that "My Favorite Things" is now considered a Christmas song.
But on the other hand I have a sick attachement to "Snoopy's Christmas"...

All of them except Silent Night, Holy Night.
The "Porky Pig" version of Blue Christmas.
Just makes me cringe when I hear it.
Carolyn(1958-2009) always in my heart.
I'm with you on these two, for sure! "Simply haaaving a wonderful Christmas time, simply haaaving a wonderful Christmas time..." Sounds like he wrote that half asleep or drugged out of his mind and couldn't figure out any decent lyrics or an actual tune, Sir Paul. And nothing screams "redneck" like "Grandma"!
The <ahem> 'artist' that sang Grandma got run over by a reindeer', Dr. Elmo, has made a living adapting that damn tune for other occasions. No matter what the holiday, I can't freakin' stand that song.
That 'Christmas Shoes' song is pure glurge. Gack.
Yesterday while walking around the mall I cringed (again) when I heard "All I want for Christmas is my 2 front teeth".
I felt like whippin out my dentures to give it to the damn brat already.

I hate the "Grandma Got Ran Over By a Reindeer" song too.
I love Christmas music.. Porky Pig, The Chipmunks, Grandma got run over... I don't care. Some of them are hilarious.
Some of these modern ones suck. The only thing Christmas about them, is they might have one word in them that is a reference to Christmas.
I don't like that one either.
Any Christmas song sung by rodents .
"Santa Baby" gets old real fast.
"Mary, Did You Know?"
I hate this song with the passion of Christ.
All of them, and they start playing them in malls here in October for Christ's sake..
I am a sick puppy....woof woof!!!

I'd like to amend my answer to include "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus", particularly the Jackson 5 version I was subjected to in the grocery store this morning. I thought my ears would start bleeding. I don't think humans should sing in that range. It makes an already too cutesy song just painful.
"All I want for Christmas is my 2 front teeth" I was at a department store this morning and they played a country & western version that was really, really bad. About 30 seconds into the song most of the people in the store were looking up at the ceiling where the speakers are with "what in the heck" looks on their faces. I have no idea who was singing but it was a guy and it sounded like Slim Whitman with his tongue stuck in a blender.

'Feliz Navidad' by Jose Feliciano. I was in my FILs car yesterday when it came on the radio, and I mentioned how I didn't like the song, and couldn't stand the singer. He told me he was at a show in the early 70s, where Feliciano was the opening act, and the crowd began chanting "Away, Jose!" So at least I know I'm not the only one who can't stand him.
Anything that is not Trans-Siberian Orchestra.
Back when I worked in retail ... geeze it was that 45 minute O' Tannanbaum that just dragged on for friggin ever. Gawd that was just ... well awful

If I hear "grandma got run over by a reindeer," I'm going to take a nail gun and blow out my ear drums. I HATE that song!!
I'm sort of a Christmas baby so I love (almost) all Christmas songs. Kinda worn out on the "Chestnuts roasting on an open fire" thing now. Szme with "This Christmas" sung by every R & B artist known to man.
On a positve note, my most fave is Snoopy's Christmas by the Royal Guardsmen. My family played that album (yes, vinyl!) every year. I break out my bright red Christmas sweater with Snoopy on it every year. Don't really give a rat's what anyone else thinks.
And my fave Christmas carol is "O Holy Night". John Berry does a wonderful job with this but Josh Groban's version drops me to my knees. It is the most beautiful version I've ever heard.
I HATE the Chipmunk song! I just hate the way they speak. Go away Chipmunks....................................
The Paul McCartney song drive me nuts. I also can't stand any current pop star who decides to sing a classic. Just sing the fucking song without all the hiccups and screaming please.

As much as I love Christmas music, I get tired of hearing it on the radio. Those songs I really hate are Santa Baby by Madonna, the Hippo song, the Porky Pig song, anything by Mariah Carey, Aaron Neville's "chestnuts roasting by the open fi-i-i-ire", Rod Steward's "Favorite Things", Bing Crosby and David Bowie's "Little Drummer Boy" and anything by Celine Dion. And has anyone noticed how many versions of "Little Drummer Boy" are being played this year? And really, no one should sing "So this is Christmas" except John himself - Celine's make me sick. There are so many artist's to choose from, I don't know why the stations play the same songs over and over. I listen to my favorite CD's. Michael Crawford's Christmas CD is incredible - his version of "O Holy Night" gives me chills.
12 days of Christmas. It's at least 11 days too many. Thank god we don't get to hear that song too often over here.
There are times being hearing impaired works to your advantage. Just more background noise to me.
Stay in Drugs. Eat your School. Don't do Vegetables.
I work in a dentist's office and since after Thanksgiving they play a radio station that plays Christmas music ALL DAY! They all are getting on my last nerve but if I hear the Jackson 5 version of "I saw mommy kissing Santa Claus", I will probably go over the deep end. Also, "Simply Having a Wonderful Christmas Time" by Paul McCartney is one that is played about 4 times a day. Not normally a Scrooge but I'm sick of the Christmas carols already.
The Little Drummer Boy
Makes me want to start screaming
I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus. I can't stand even hearing it once. My poor husband who works in retail has to listen to it over and over being piped into the store daily....
I just got a Jackie Geason classic Christmas CD and I love it. That man could really do music.

Just for you, the FAD hard drinkin' version. I sent this one to my dad and he was moved by the deep sentiment and heartstrings-tugging good cheer.
