Do you really like the song?

Pretend...predictive text!

I like it.

I like it, it's preferable to all those cheesy Cliff Richard ones

I've always liked it.

Love it.

Not my favourite Christmas song but I agree it’s better than the cheesy stuff. I don’t dislike it.

I love it. There's something about it that makes it one of my all time favourites. I watched the funeral today and it was sung and played so joyously that it was really uplifting.

I’ve always liked it. It’s a favourite in our family and all 3 generations have it on their Christmas playlist.

It’s one of my Christmas favourites.

I enjoy it

I like it. There are other Christmas songs I like more, and plenty I like far less.

It’s sad and intense but a great song.

I haven’t heard it apart from a snippet on the news or somewhere, but I doubt it’s my cup of tea.

Love it

I have always loved it for its gritty poetic honesty.

I like it.

I’m with you polomint. I don’t like it at all.

I can't stand it. I loathed it when I first heard it. Then came those who wanted to be different and said they loved it.

Horses for courses but I bet there's a lot who claim to love it don't really.

There's a bit of herd mentality going on

What an odd thing to say. It’s like someone who likes the song saying “Louella just pretends to hate it to be different but she secretly loves it”

Surely we all have different tastes and that’s normal.

Ive always hated it. I hate christmas songs as a genre but this scrapes the bottom.

i've always disliked it, because it sounds so rough and rude.
the irish people whom i knew when i was young would have hated it too, because they would have said it gives the irish a bad name.
they were gentle, friendly people with a kind of old time courtesy in their manners and address; it was painful for them to be characterised as always fighting, drunken, riotous, uncouth.
so that's why i don't like the song. it sounds like that to me.

... There's a bit of herd mentality going on

What a strange comment.

I thought people either liked it or they didn't.

"Horses for courses but I bet there's a lot who claim to love it don't really."

I think that just happens in marriages

That guy in the Poges just died, didn’t he ? I don’t mind that song, a bit sentimental late night drunk sort of thing but I don’t think of it as a Christmas Carol, just a folk song.
