I don't hate it in the same way as ''All I Want For Christmas is You''. I just find the tune of it very depressing, and it brings depressing thoughts to my mind like loneliness, loss, sorrow, tragedy, et cetera. I don't hate the song itself. Also it makes me feel sad because of what happened to Kirsty MacColl.

"Merry F***ing Christmas" Sung by Mr. Garrison from that South Park Christmas Album later adapted into an Episode of the same album name. Mr. Hankey's Christmas Classics.

I have no 'worst' Christmas songs, but two of my faves are "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing" and "Winter Wonderland".

^ OhGodOhGodOhGod - how I hate hearing that damn Slade song blasted out in the supermarket Every. Single. Year.

My favourite? Many, and probably anything from King's or Trinity but right now, Harold Darke's arrangement of In The Bleak Midwinter from King's College:
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYAv8xvBK74[/youtube]
and The Shepherds' Farewell (Berlioz) from Trinity College:

Christmas In Hollis - Run DMC
I Saw 3 Ships - Nat Cole
Mary did you know? - Unknown
Blue Christmas - originally by Elvis Presley, covered by Porky Pig
My Favorite Things - either the Julie Andrews or Sinatra version FTW
Christmas Time Is Here Again - The Beatles
The Chipmunks Christmas song

Worst:
Last Christmas - for a long time the Wham! version was played sparingly but since "Glee" covered the song it's been run into the ground.
Mistress For Christmas - I love AC-DC as much as anyone, but...sorry
Have Yourself a suicidal, er, Merry Little Christmas - The Carpenters
Band Aid - ONLY because they rebooted, sliced and diced and played to death in every configuration.

I must be very blessed to have never heard the Slade song, do they purposely misspell its song title as well?
