So this year is the first year in about 10 years that I am excited about Christmas. I used to love it until it came to traveling, and the kids getting sick, and shopping around all of the grumpy people, and decorating only to have the lights go out. Whew!
Anyway, I am excited about Christmas this year even though my shopping isn't done yet. I listen to Christmas music and shop and try to stay calm in all the madness. I do okay until I hear those awful songs. Yes, you know the ones. The ones that should never be played on the radio or for that matter anywhere. I was talking about this with Carrie and thought I would blog about these songs.
1. Wonderful Christmas Time by Paul McCartney
Need I say more?
2. Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree, by Leanne Rimes. It is just awful! I would rather listen to someone run their fingernails down a chalkboard.
3. Last Christmas
Yes the one sung by Wham!
That song is weird on so many levels and I wish they would have saved me from tears and kept the song to themselves.
4. Christmas Is Just Around The Corner by Barry Manilow
This one is a new one this year. If you haven't heard it yet, consider yourself lucky and warned. I am doing pretty good staying excited about Christmas until I hear this song. This brings my stress levels way up. Come on Barry, retire already!
This is just a small sampling of the songs that come to mind right now. There may be more.
So, I was wondering? What Christmas songs could you do without? I would love to know!
