Christmas Songs I Dislike.

What's that one that goes 'last Christmas I GEV you my heart.......' It's not GEV it's GAVE!!! For goodness sake.
As for Mistletoe and Wine,,,no, no, no. Cliff, whatever were you thinking? Christ-i-an rhyme......ye gods.
Slade? Used to love it but now I hate it.
No, they are all terrible.
How do people who work in retail put up with having these songs on a loop ALL DAY? I once said to a girl on a checkout in Tesco 'how do you put up with this all day?' She replied 'Oh, I love it!' I must be just a grumpy old grandma.

Oh bums. I like them all ?

Just make me feel Christmassy, .......although Mistletoe and Wine.....?

I dislike almost everything mentioned so far apart from Fairytale of New York which I love. I also like All I Want for Christmas is You and enjoy dancing round the kitchen to it with my grandchildren.

Top of my dislike list is Little Drummer Boy.

Parumpapumpum ? Please make it stop!

Fairytale of New York, The Pogues. I don’t know why I don’t like it as many others name it as their favourite, but I don’t,

Mistletoe and Wine is rather cringey, but I’m not a Cliff Richard fan anyway. Love love love All I Want for Christmas is You by Mariah Carey. I love all Christmas carols especially Oh Holy Night. The first time I heard that was on the Home Alone film.

Can’t stand Fairytale in New York The Pogues so depressing or Driving home for Christmas Chris Reah
Love Last Christmas Wham and Stay another day East 17
But it’s not Christmas without Slade and Wizzard

Love Last Christmas Wham

Have you seen the film, rosie1959?

Not of Wham singing, but the film called Last Christmas.
I will say no more.

Step into Christmas by Elton John always makes me feel cheery and festive...it's so upbeat.

Nope, not even Eartha can make me like that song, Chewy.
All that hurrying down chimneys, it's not right!

Mary's Boy Child by Boney M always makes me feel a bit cringy!!

I'm not a fan of cheery songs.
Merry Christmas by Shakin' Steven is another horror.

Mary’s Boy Child by Boney M. Awful!

St Winifreds school choir - grandma

Clive Dunn - Grandad

Thank you, calendargirl
Well, I rather like that song, it's quite mournful.

I can't stand Santa Baby.. falls over with shock

Whaaat? You can't stand that one? Even when it's sung by the fabulous Eartha Kitt? You heathen you MissAdventure!

'I'm dreaming of a White Christmas' - no thank you. The country comes to a stand still at the slightest fall of snow!

Yes, I know - it was all about New England not us.

Just thought of a Christmas song I do actually like, "Fairytale of New York".

I believe in father Christmas by Greg Lake is the one I almost like.
Is he from Emmerson, Lake and Palmer?

Yes. Greg Lake died.

I quite like ‘Wish it could be Christmas every day’ but that’s about it. No slushy stuff. Love hearing carols.
I wish Frosty the bloody Snowman hadn’t been mentioned, can’t get it out of my head now.?

"Christian rhyme", along with the mistletoe and wine and whatever other twaddle he has in that song, just sounds so twee.

I like Away in a Manger, it reminds me of when I was very little at Christmas.

I’m not keen on any of them from the sixties onwards, although I’m too young to remember them from the time I prefer ones from the forties and fifties. Let it Snow is my favourite.

All of them.

Love Slave, Wizard, Cliff, what’s wrong with Christian rhyme anyway, seeing as it is a Christian celebration, now, yes I know about the pagan bit. Only one I can’t stand is anything by Carey.

I can't stand Santa Baby..

I believe in father Christmas by Greg Lake is the one I almost like.
Is he from Emmerson, Lake and Palmer?

Mistletoe and Wine is my absolute worst - it’s ghastly.

My favourites are traditional carols sung by proper choirs, not by pop stars with breathy/screechy voices, who muck them about with extra twiddly bits and try to put ‘expression’ into them. ?
I’m fond of a few pop style ones, though - Wham’s Last Christmas is one that comes to mind.
