I'm a big fan of most things Christmas but I HATE Christmas music. It's so bad and you're all wrong for liking it.

QFT. It's that special time of year when we remember how annoying Mariah Carey is.

Rowand44 is portraying Scrooge in the Soxtalk production of A Christmas Carol. Shysocks will portray Marley

I am a brilliant actor.

Her Christmas album is one of the GOAT.

I still have one left so the next time I come back home I'll play ball with you guys and dunk on you.

With these hacks, someone will grab you or hack you before you jump. Trust me.

 

Some guys try and get in my head by calling me lazy. I just tell them I'm not going to get hurt out here. I just want to run. One guy did yesterday and I decided to try and scored 3 times in a row on him. Nobody there can guard me. It just depends if I'm off or not.

Lennon's Do they Know it's Christmas Time

 

Worst song ever. Note the lack of the adjective "Christmas" describing the noun "song."

The worst Xmas song is Last Christmas by George Michael.

Paul McCartney's Wonderful Christmastime is just terrible.

They'll have to beat me out for that role, and I have quite a resume in that department. :lol:

There are a lot of good candidates. That one is up there. All I want for Christmas is You is pretty horrific. I also can't stand the Bruce Springsteen version of Santa Claus is Coming to Town (well, any version really, but especially that one).

Hard to disagree.

 

Scrooged is the best Xmas movie.

Die Hard.

I absolutely love everything about Christmas. The lights/decorations, the music, time spent with family. It's awesome. I can't help but feel happy.

 

We open presents that are from fellow family members on Christmas Eve. Presents from Santa are opened on Christmas Day.

All I Want for Christmas is the best Xmas song, maybe the best song ever

Long story short, I used to create mix CDs for the myself and the girls that I lived with through college. The first year I started doing this, I made an Xmas mix, so that's what I listen to each Xmas for about 2-3 weeks straight. I probably need to bust out that CD soon, actually.

 

But that CD consists of like 23 tracks. The first 12 or 13 are old, classic christmas songs. Bing Crosby, Chipmunks, Elvis, etc. The next 7 or 8 or so are modern twists. Jack Johnson, Jason Mraz, Train, Maroon 5, N*sync (one the girls requests, trust me) and then the last few songs are Christmas rap songs that make me laugh. They include, Merry Motherf***ing Christmas by Eazy-E, one by Ludacris, and one by Kanye West and Cyhi the Prince called Christmas in Harlem.

 

So who wants a copy? ;)

How many times has everyone watched "A Christmas Story" ?

How many times has everyone watched "A Christmas Story" ?

 

Only once. Christmas Vacation? Probably a hundred times.

This is the only Christmas song that matters.

 

Love the Christmas season. We usually put up our tree the weekend before Thanksgiving, and I'll put up the outside decorations around the same time, weather permitting. But, the tree comes down the day after Christmas, and the outside lights as soon as possible.

 

One of the traditions I instilled into our family was my family's opening of relatives' gifts on Christmas Eve. We've then started our own tradition for the entire day of Christmas Eve. We see a movie, have dinner at TGI Fridays, and then come home and open the family presents. A Christmas Story is turned on and watched, mainly in the background. Funny how traditions start. We started going to TGI Fridays because it's in the mall where the movie theater is. We thought they were closed when we first did this four years ago because there was no one in there. Four years later though, there are a lot more people eating there on Christmas Eve.

 

Speaking of A Christmas Story, we visited the house where parts were filmed in Cleveland this year. The kids will think it's pretty cool watching it this year, knowing they were in the house.

Christmas Vacation is fine but I find it overrated. Maybe it's my disdain for Chevy.

This.

 

I love Christmas. I love getting people gifts, I love my extended family's X-mas eve traditions, Yankee swaps with my friends, holiday parties, etc...But I can't stand Christmas music. It's the worst and it makes me want to rupture my ear drums
