Eight days into December and I’m still not feeling much of “the Christmas spirit.” Per usual, for me, really.

On mine and Ethan’s drive home, we spent more than half of the journey listening to tacky Christmas music. I’ve always had a beef with Christmas music overall, but some songs get under my skin more than the others. So, on this fine Blogmas Day 8, I thought I’d take you all through my least favorite Christmas songs from 10 - 1. It’s fine if I mention a song that you absolutely love, I mean you no offense. This is just meant to be a light-hearted look at holiday music from a cynic’s perspective. Leave me a note in the comments below if you agree with me or you don’t - I’m curious to hear your least favorite Christmas music, too. 

So without further adieu, here we go with the 10 holiday songs that annoy me the most in this world. 

10. Jingle Bell Rock - Bobby Helms

9 .The Twelve Days of Christmas - Roger Whittaker

8. We Wish You A Merry Christmas 

7 . I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas - Gayla Peevey

6. All I Want For Christmas (Is My Two Front Teeth)

5. The Chipmunk Song - Alvin & The Chipmunks

4. Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer - Elmo & Patsy

3. Santa Baby - Madonna 

2. I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus - The Jackson 5

1. All I Want For Christmas Is You - Mariah Carey

These songs are all annoying in their own way and the holiday season would really be much easier to enjoy without them. If can be so bold.

What have we learned today, folks? Keep Mommy away from Santa and no, you can’t ask for a hippo for Christmas. Sounds about right…

That’s all for today, folks. I’m all Christmas’d out for the evening. I need to go to bed. I’ll see you tomorrow for more ranting, I’m sure… with a partridge in a paiiirrrr treeeeee!?
