I’m to have to explain. I greatly despise xmas songs.
Like 99% of them are absolute garbage; they don’t have to be, because they’ll make money, because it’s a new xmas song, and hey, everybody gets sick of all the old ones; right? well. of the 1% that are actually tolerable (never mind actually good), they get blasted until you get sick of them. This is just my opinion, you’re welcome to disagree. my SiL has been playing shitty carols since before halloween, so she certainly does.
so; this song does a great job of getting people to stop asking for xmas music and therefore… I LOVE IT. Another great one is Metallica, for whom the bell tolls. When they say ‘no it’s not’… tell them it has church bells and thats kinda chrismas-y.
Oh and xmas movies? Die Hard.
Legit, it’s not Xmas until Hans grueber falls of the nakatomi plaza building and the paper snow falls.
My friends know they aren’t allowed to force me into Xmas crap until we watch die hard and gremlins. Together. Which nobody has the stomach for on the same day, so I usually get about a week of warning that it’s time to suck it up and humor them.
if that’s your idea for xmass…
I gotta be there for New Years.
Mm unfortunately a few years of cocktail waitressing at strip clubs taught me not to ever want to do anything for new years. Rookie night.
My winter solstice parties are lit tho. Mostly because I make everyone light a tea light to honor those who bring light to their lives.
So, we tell everyone I’m going to your party, you tell everyone you’re coming to mine.
Then we go to bed early and call it good. :)
(Also, that sounds like an awful experience.)

The one I hate more than any other is Hallelujah. Its not a fucking christmas song. Its as much of a christmas song as my old “Jesus is a cunt” shirt is a christmas sweater.

Maria Carey “all i want for Christmas is YooooouuuuOOuouoOUouoUoUOuooooooooooooouuooooouououoOUOUOuouoUOuoouOUOUOUOUOOOuuuuu”
we can also lump that with any of the covers, because they all do it.

At my old job they were singing Hallelujah at an event because someone had required more secular holiday music.
Which.. I mean.. yeah.
Love the song though. Best song ever written about faith, God, and sex in juxtaposition.

Pentatonix do it SO WELL. Which sucks because they put it on an Xmas album so I hate that.
In their defence their rendition of The Sound of Silence is also amazing so…
