I don't know about you guys, but I pretty much hate Christmas music. Just about all of it. Unless it's Christmas day, I really don't want to hear anything about Santa, or sleigh bells. I work part time in a retail store, so starting Black Friday I'm sure to be bombarded by Christmas to the point where I can feel Santa's big, red, old, stinky sack hitting me in the face. Soak in the imagery. And there are of course songs that I hate more so than others. Elvis' Blue Christmas for example. I simply cannot tolerate the background vocals and their "do-doo do-dodo"-ing. Another example is the song "Christmas Shoes" by some faggy Christian group called New Song. Here's the video for the song in case you haven't had the esteemed pleasure of letting it ruin your holiday.
I remember like a year or two ago when I first heard that song come on. I did a double take because I couldn't believe what I was hearing out of the speakers. Christmas has to be one of the happiest holidays out of the whole year. And yet, here's this Christian rock band doing their damnedest to suck all the joy out of it by singing a song about a kid buying shoes for his dying mom so she looks pretty when she gets to Heaven. What the fuck? I'd go on further, but Patton Oswalt has already hit the nail on the head in this stand up bit:
