Best ... So many favorites, but "The Little Drummer Boy" ranks right up there with "Silent Night" and "O Come, O Come Emmanuel"
Worst ... I'll go with Lixy, too.

My two favorites are "Joy to the World" and "Carrol of the Bells"
"Joy to the World" will always be my M&M (and M&M as the candy) song. When I was little  , that song was sung all the time at Grandpa and Grandma's church, and at that time i couldn't read or understand the lyrics. So when the song came around to "And Heaven and Nature sing, and heaven and nature sing..." I thought that everyone was singing " And M&M nature sing, and M&M nature sing..." HAHA i still catch myself singing it that way now!
Then "Carrol of the Bells" done back in the 80's Claymation-style, that just makes me fall over laughing!
i don't have any particular songs that i hate, i just don't like the departments store musaq Christmas songs being piped it. YUCK! i would rather listen to Kenny G!

Frosty the Pervert always had a certain ring to it.
Franz Bauer's "Stille Nacht" is great, and me with no German blood.
"Australian Jingle Bells" for the locals.
"Driving through the dust,
In a rusty Holden Ute...." ah, poetry!

Fave... Hmmm, prolly Carol of the Bells. Especially the Trans Siberian Orchestra version called Christmas Eve/Sarajevo 12/24. I also really like Bob Seger's version of Little Drummer Boy.
Oh, and Bob and Doug's 12 Days of Christmas makes me laugh.
Worst... Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer. I never liked that song.

Hm...
I've always been partial to Auld Lang Syne. I know its more for New Years, but whenever I hear it after the clock strikes midnight, I always get a little teary eyed.

That TSO version is incredible. I love it.
I heard Gary Hoey's version of "The Grinch" and found it quite entertaining...but difficult to sing along with. ha ha
The "Italian version" of the 12 Days of Christmas is pretty good too.
And I have to agree with my fine furry friend in casting a vote for "Grandma" as the worst ever.

<---is a HUGE Christmas song fan...but there are a couple that "hit" me more than others, for sentimental reasons. Every Christmas, my sister and I would postition ourselves on our backs under my grandparents' Christmas tree and sing along to my grandfather's Gene Autry ("Here Comes Santa Claus," "Rudolph") and Brenda Lee ("Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree," "Jingle Bell Rock") albums. Followed, of course, by the entire Chipmunks Christmas splendor.

Someone mentioned department store musak - which reminded me (along with pulling out my CD's to take to the office) ... I love listening to Mannheim Steamroller, particularly when I am somewhere like work and just want something festive in the air.
I've also always enjoyed Thistlehair the Christmas Bear by Alabama and a college favorite John Denver and the Muppets version of "We wish you a Merry Christmas"... I sooooo love Animal on the song (won't go! won't go! won't go!!!) and Miss Piggy thinking they are saying PIGGY pudding instead of FIGGY pudding *cracks up all over again* ... My roommate and I had this as our answering machine message at Christmas time.

Hummm, growing up it was always "Little Drummer Boy" but the past few years it has been "Jolly old St. Nicholas lean your ear this way...Don't you tell a single soul a word I have to say....." Maybe because it is one that you very seldom hear. Can't think of any I hate off hand, but alot I get tired of hearing over and over again.
