Love: Oh holy night, have yourself a merry little Christmas, silent night, hippopotamus for Christmas and a less known song called, I need a silent night
Least favorite: jingle bell rock, sleigh ride, let it snow, jingle bells, the stupid Mariah Carey All I want for Christmas
"As soon as I saw you I knew an adventure was going to happen." ~Winnie the Pooh
Fave: Oh Holy Night (when sung by a guy, esp Josh Groban) & Carol of the Bells oh and I love Christmas Eve in Washington (growing up near DC it always makes me smile)
Annoying as sin: Hey Santa by the Wilson sisters (nails on a chalkboard is more appealing)
Love: o holy night, anything by the rat pack except baby it's cold outside (date rape song).
Hate: little drummer boy, christmas shoes, baby it's cold outside, do they know it's Christmas time
If somebody thinks they're a hedgehog, presumably you just give 'em a mirror and a few pictures of hedgehogs and tell them to sort it out for themselves.-Douglas Adams
Hate: the Jingle Bell version with the dogs barking & Bette Midler's version.
Love: Christina Aguilera's version of This Christmas (am I showing my age?)
@farmerpinky all I can think of is date rape when I hear that song period
Carol of the Bells, Rockin Around the Christmas Tree, and Run Run Rudolph are my favorites.
There is this old one they keep playing on my christmas station, "Oh by gosh by golly, it's time for mistletoe and holly.' I like older christmas classics but that one is annoying to me.
I love Bruce Springsteen's Santa Claus is Coming to Town, especially the banter at the beginning, and Nat King Cole's version of The Christmas Song (Chestnuts roasting on an open fire...) as well as the classics like O Holy Night, O Come O Come Emmanuel, Joy to the World, Silent Night, and some of the lesser known ones like The Holly and The Ivy. (I spent many years in choirs so I know a lot of Xmas songs!)
I hate Christmas Shoes and the Pointer Sisters' truly awful Christmas Town.

Re: GTKY: Holiday Music
Dislike: Jingle Bell Rock, any Mariah Carey Christmas cover
ETA- also love Do you Hear What I Hear
Annoying as sin: Hey Santa by the Wilson sisters (nails on a chalkboard is more appealing)
Do not love: Mariah Carey anything, grown up Christmas wish, and any crap like Dominic the donkey & grandma got run over by a reindeer
Least favorite: Mariah Carey (overplayed) and the one that goes 'there won't be snow in Africa this Christmastime..'
Hate: little drummer boy, christmas shoes, baby it's cold outside, do they know it's Christmas time

All time #1 favorite Christmas song is Silent Night by the Temptations. I thought that it was The Temptations song until I was about 12.
Least favorite by a long shot is Christmas Shoes. I just can't with that song.
