Careful what you ask for this holiday season, you just might get it.
“Little Drummer Boy” and “Do You Hear What I Hear?” are the worst Christmas songs ever, totally contrived stories made into song that have no business making into any legit artist’s Christmas album. And yet ....
I'm on board with both of those choices, especially LDB. We try to go as long as we can without hearing it each year, and we can never escape.
Go Tell it On The Mountain is my favorite.
Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Thank you my friend, Merry Christmas to you too. And that's a great pick.
Best: Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)-Darlene Love
Worst: Any version of Santa Baby
And anything with Darlene Love is amazing.
Santa Baby was always a creepy song, and boy, does the Madonna version raise the creep level.
Nice work! I've been writing a series this month on Christmas sl music, one song each day. I'm mostly sticking to lesser-known stuff, but yesterday I addressed why this song is so great: https://open.substack.com/pub/adamremsen/p/the-25-days-of-christmas-day-15
Love this! Thanks for sharing it.
Worst: “All I Want For Christmas Is You”. One of my favorites: “Little Saint Nick”🎄Beach Boys... Merry Merry everybody!
I love that the Beach Boys repurposed one of their own songs for Christmas! Great call.

OK this is awesome.
I hope there’s a special place in hell for the writers of “Jingle Bell Rock” and “Rockin Around the Christmas Tree.” 😄
Favorite: “A Merry Jingle” by The Greedies. 👍🏻
Amen to all of this, brother.
