1. He certainly owes the world an apology...
for that one.
One of my top 5 least favorite Christmas Songs.

Some others:
Christmas Shoes
Last Christmas
Simply Having A Wonderful Christmas Time

11. Wow, you nailed all of mine. Just add Feliz Navidad. Most repetitive Christmas song EVER!
On the flip side, "Happy Christmas (War is Over)" is probably my favorite pop Christmas song.

3. I actually like it a lot better than "We Are the World"
It has more of a tune.


But the pedant in me always wants to say, "Well, the Ethiopian Orthodox kids probably DO know it's Christmas, but the Muslim and Animist ones don't give a shit."

7. I wish he'd regret literally stealing his dead ex-wife's child.
That'd be cool.

9. Hasn't that been rated as the worst Christmas song ever?
And given the thousands of bad holiday songs out there, that says something.

10. Something worse...
The Star Wars Holiday Special - "Happy Life Day" (1978)
