Most and least favorite is the same.

Dad used to listen to 'I'll Be Home for Christmas' every year. It became sort of a favorite for a lot of the soldiers in the 40's, and obviously had a lot of meaning to them. It became my favorite.

Now... yeah, its taken on whole new meaning for me too.

Not a big fan of Christmas music. This time of year, the demon goes into overdrive - under the tinsel and lights, there's too many people trying to take advantage, too much sin.

There's just something wrong about condemning men's souls while 'Frosty the Snowman' plays in the background.

My favorite is Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. Olive is really mean, though.

I don't have a least favorite. Christmas is awesome!

I love Carol of the Bells.

I just can't bring myself to listen to Christmas music this year though.

That's really good, but it's hard to resist the classics. Adeste Fidelis, for me.

I'll be a touch narcissistic here and say that I really liked the punk-rock/speed-metal mash up we did at the concert last ear of Carol of the Bells.

The Atheist Christmas Carol is growing on me though.

Aw, don't make choose! There's Kirsty MacColl and the Pogues's "Fairytale of New York," and there's Carol of the Bells, and I'm a sucker for little Olivia Olson doing "All I Want for Christmas."


Least favorite? "Here Comes Santa Claus." Seriously?

"Christmas Don't Be Late" by the Chipmunks.

"Christmas At Ground Zero" by Weird Al.

"The Night Santa Went Crazy" by Weird Al.

"Snoopy's Christmas" by the Royal Guardsmen

I'm strongly considering investing in a little theater group or something so I can make them stage a Christmas pageant version of 'The Night Santa Went Crazy' every year.


Least favorite? Anything sung off key by those squeaky little cutsie electronic Christmas toys. I shot up mall because of two dozen dancing christmas trees squeaking and whining out Jingle Bell Rock, seriously.

I love so many Christmas songs! "Ding Dong Merrily On High" might be my favorite.


Least favorite?
Well, the Coventry Carol is awfully depressing, but I suppose one has to recognize that horrible things do happen amongst good things.... As another possibility... It's a pretty song, but has anyone considered the implications of "Baby, It's Cold Outside?" The whole 'founding one's first time on a pretense' thing is just a bad sign.

Favorite is Christmas Party by the Walkmen.

Least favorite - Silent Night. I know Ruth likes it, but between the radio, church, carolers, and so on, its been done, and done badly, to death so many times.

Trans-Siberian Orchestra's take on "Carol Of The Bells".

When Santa Baby's done right, it's a lot of fun.

"Jingle Bell Rock"...well, there's a time and a place for everything, but the times and places for that are rare.

It's tripe, is what it is. If the Fictive 'I' of the song were a person, he'd need a good shoving. You don't stand around congratulating yourself for a job that poorly done. You want to do something about fixing things for that family, you follow that kid home, see if you can contact emergency care for the poor woman, do it properly instead of a sloppy half-job.

"Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer" and "Christmas Time Is Here".

Favorite: "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer"

If you know any of my grandmothers, you know how insanely improbably it is that a reindeer would stop any of them.

I also like "Last Christmas" by Wham.

Least Favorite: Any version of "Last Christmas" not done by Wham.

I have to pick just ONE?! If I do, "Oh Little Town Of Bethlehem" might be my favorite, along with "Angels We Have Heard On High".

As for least as anyone CONSIDERED the innuendos in "Santa Baby" and "Baby It's Cold Outside"?
