Most annoying Christmas songs

I *hate* "White Christmas". And I remember saying so in at least one other thread like this, probably last year. But I still hate it. My parents played it often when I was a child and I grew to loathe it.
And just for fun, a song I do like: "We Three Kings", or at least the version of it that my dad always plays. Which I must admit, I don't know what that is. But it's enjoyable.

I absolutely hate The Little Drummer Boy.
The only version I'll tolerate is the one Bing Crosby did with David Bowie, mostly because I can focus on Bowie's part, which is pretty.
My mother has an odd fascination with Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson's version of Baby, It's cold Outside. I'm not sure what Jessica is trying to go for vocally there, but she's failing miserably at it. I don't understand why she like it at all. Really don't like the Tom Jones version either (come to think of it, the female singer in that one sounds like she's having an even harder time catching her breath than Ms. Simpson). Absolutely grating. I DO like Vanessa Williams' version, however.
The one that really has the power to make me sprint across the house to get rid of it if it comes on the radio, though, is that blasted Christmas Shoes. Ye gods, the glurge! ARGH!

Uh uh. I'd still hear the lyrics in my head and still be annoyed, lol.
I've listened to the Mannheim version for so long that I can't even *remember* the lyrics anymore. They're that good, trust me.
I mean, how else would I listen to some of these other carols, some of which have even more dumbass words? Like "Fum Fum Fum"?
"Sleigh Ride Together With You", or whatever the title is.
I have a special trauma with Christmas music, though. Once worked in a place that sold gimmick organs. During the Season, there would be
a) a large organ in the store playing Christmas music constantly
b) Christmas music on the mall PA
c) occasionally a brass band would show up in the hallway
so, up to 3 simultaneous Christmas tunes at once. Should have been one of the reconditioning scenes in "Clockwork Orange".

Wonderful Christmastime is by far the worst, as McCartney himself would agree.
Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer is awful.
Feliz Navidad. It's the repetitive song that never ends! Great.
Christmas to Remember by Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers.
Christmas Shoes is terrible.
Christmas Wrapping by The Waitresses. One of those songs I originally liked but started hating the more it got played.
I bought Do They Know It's Christmas? back in the day, but after about the millionth time hearing it I'm about ready to grab a shotgun and shoot the radio.
I like Santa Baby quite a bit, but I do find it amusing when I hear it played in family places where they're obviously completely oblivious to the fact that the song is one giant double entendre about exchanging sex for expensive gifts.

There's also that Dan Fogelberg one that makes me want to throw bricks at puppies.
Yeah, I never got that one.
What kind of fucked-up Christmas song sings about a loved one getting killed by a wild animal (or a tamed one driving a sleigh) while walking home some night in a drunken stupor?
Okay, I'd never heard of this song and was going to avoid it but curiosity got the better of me. Oy. Interesting that mama is going to meet Jesus in shoes like those worn by Myrna Loy in "The Mask of Fu Manchu."
'Rockin Around the Christmas Tree' just makes me want to go out and tell kids theres no Santa Claus.
The only decent version of that song is the one by Brenda Lee. I actually like that one. All remakes of it should be banned.
"Rockin Around the Christmas Tree" by Brenda Lee always reminds me of "Home Alone." 
I like the song.
And I love "Feliz Navidad!"
But back to "Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer." Anyone remember the gawdawful video that accompanied it at one point? Know how they ended it? Grandma wasn't really dead! She got up, she and grandpa embraced, awwwww!
I never thought the video could be worse than the travesty of the song, but they found a way.

It's like listening to a record that skips and repeats itself every 30 seconds for infinity, and that damn needle is always just... out... of... reach.
I'm pretty sure Feliz Navidad is some kind of auditory fractal spawn of the bowels of Perdition.
Don't mind Bonz; she's a mod. We're used to hearing the same annoying shit over and over.
Speaking of which, if a mod pisses me off, I can just run to MA and rant about it, right? No need for PMs and the ability to wait a few hours for a response or any of that nonsense?
If not, you guys should really think about posting some kind of rules there. Just FYI.
