    I love the holiday season, I do. And I love Christmas music . . . I've been listening to Christmas fm from the other side of the pond! Still, there are some songs that are the worst. For me, I roll my eyes every single time that Christmas Shoes song comes on. It's so cheesy, even before the kids start singing at the end!

    So out with it . . . Is there a Christmas song - traditional or recent - that makes you want to stick your fingers in your ears?

    I don't like the Christmas song Destiny's Child brought out '8 Days of Christmas' it's just not festive for me!

    That awful Chris de Burgh one, A Spaceman Came Travelling. I hate Chris de Burgh at the best of times, but really, what was he thinking?

    Although when I was younger I thought he was singing that the Spaceman had travelled for 2000 years to say "Nyah nyah, na na nyah!" to baby Jesus :confused:

    I've only realised this year that most christmas songs really get on my nerves. Top of the list has to be "All I want for Christmas is you" (Mariah Carey). It's not an awful song, it's just played to death and Mariah Carey annoys me anyway.

    Excellent! I was practically brought up on Chris de Burgh, and had no idea what the hell was going on there. I theorised, based on the Spaceman thing, that God was an alien... Had a very elaborate explanation behind my reasoning, too.

    And while we're talking about Chrises that I was unfortunately brough up on, Chris Rea - Driving Home for Christmas. Just - no.

    (The third one though, Christy Moore, I am grateful to my parents for playing incessantly)

    Wow.....there's a lot of them.

    Mistletoe and Wine stands out.

    That Slade song always gets on my wick whenever i hear it "so hear it is merry christmas everybody's having fun".....

    I always associate that song with pound shops on Moore Street.

    More suited to either the Christmas forum or the Music forum.

    Sorry.
