Honestly, it doesn't bother me too much as long as it's well done.
There definitely are Christmas songs that make me clench my teeth in anger D: But that goes song by song, and I try to forget them as soon as I don't hear them anymore, so I can't remember. If I have to hear Christmas music, I'll always prefer classical or choral over anything else. :]

...or maybe Alvin and the Chipmunks Christmas music from the 80's. Hahaha... *shame*

This is an autism Christmas song. It's a good thing we never get carolers because I'd ask them to leave and if they didn't, I'd do something horrible to them. Maybe turn the hose on and blast them. I have to deal with enough s**t around the Christmas season, my home is my refuge from it all.

The only song that kinda gets on my nerves is Carol of the Bells.

I don't know if it does. I hate Christmas music really unless It's played by an orchestra (then I feel happy). And then there's this:

Makes me feel....

I really believe Christmas can only be truly enjoyed in a village environment with peasant dwellers in the 10th century.

Most christmas songs sounds sentimental to me. To me they describe an emotional connection which I don't think I'm able to a part of. I block it. It makes me feel sick/having a meltdown.

I'm looking forward to New Year with my friends and family.

But untill then I'll go into my manga world :wink:

I recently stereoized [via DCS/DES] the Elvis Christmas material and am listening to it often.

We have a CD with orchestrated/chrorus Christmas songs that I really like...
but I've taken a look around Youtube for different versions, and they aren't exactly my taste.
This one is irritating: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2EZrsB5a2I

I love Christmas music. I could listen to it all year round as it puts me in a good mood. I prefer the old classical/non remake songs. When I'm in a good mood sometimes I hum Jingle bells. However when I am in a bad mood I still hum Jingle bells but in an annoyed drawn out hum. My husband can tell when I'm irritated because he says my humming sounds like Christmas death music.

I'm fine with Christmas music although there are a few songs that are kind of annoying.
