Do I sound like an old grouch if I say I hate all Christmas songs? Anyway, not that I'm going to fool anyone here if I act otherwise, you already know me, so... ...yes, I hate every single corny, cheesy, greasy, tacky Christmas song. My five cents to the discussion. Don't hold back, just say what you feel.....

I fear it's politically incorrect but I love Mele Kalikimaka. It's my absolute favorite Christmas song.

elophile, I like the image of Santa bringing me gifts in a canoe. Leon has a great X-mas album called "Christmas Island". Doctor John is on it. Buffett's is not bad.

I like best the old traditional Christmas carols (sung really well), including some in other languages. I was in the university chorus when I was a college student, and one of my fondest memories of those years was singing in the annual Christmas concert, when we sang many beautiful traditional Christmas songs, including a few in other languages. I remember one performance in particular where we (over 100 of us) were in tears, almost to a person, after the concert because it was so beautiful. Most of the Christmas music on the radio is fine, and none of it bothers me too much, even the ones that I don't think are so great. It's only a few weeks a year. The thing that can be really annoying to me is listening to just Christmas music on the radio for long periods of time. I guess that working with adolescents for so long has increased my tolerance for all manner of unusual and even obnoxious phenomena! I must say that the version of "O Holy Night" that Chippa posted earlier is in a class by itself, though!

elophile , I like the image of Santa bringing me gifts in a canoe. Leon has a great X-mas album called "Christmas Island". I like that image too. If I ever strike it rich I'll spend every Christmas in Hawaii. I hate cold weather! I'll checkout LRs Christmas album - sounds good.
