Turn on your radio. Yeah, do it! Wait for 15 minutes, and you're definitely gonna hear at least one, if not two, of those familiar tunes. They play them around Christmas, over and over and over, till your brain turns into a pulp and your ears start bleeding. You switch the radio to the next station, desperately hoping that they'll be playing something different. But NO! You're in for a nasty surprise. It's the same stuff all over again. Not only that, but the song you've just heard, is only starting over there.

You switch off the radio, and...



The next one who says there's a War on Christmas, is getting it.

So here are my top 10 Christmas songs they need to stop playing, like, right now. Songs you'd like to punch in their stupid faces. What are yours?

#1. Last Christmas

Anything not by Vince Guaraldi results in an immediate fleeing of the channel from me.

Stop advocating bullying songs. The fine secular anthems you are holding up to ridicule should be the center pieces of our inclusive, sensitive, Winter Celebration, not tripe like "Silent Night."

Don't forget Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer. I'm sure the message that sends is extremely Christian.

But you aren't praising these exemplary secular anthems of our modern age. You are calling them craptastic! Stupid! I can only deduce that real excremental paens to the fictional son of the Jew's imaginary sky- god, like "Adeste Fidelis" are more to your taste. These are, per the article I cited, a pervasive form of bullying!! Stop bullying, you bully!

You left out the "little drummer boy". I'm OK with the rest, but that one drives me nuts with the "pah-rumpa-pum-pums.

I suggest investing in SiriusXM.... or an IPhone/IPod/MP3 player.... My IPhone and SiriusXM have saved my sanity.

That's why these two songs exist: to give you an alternative to the bad ones:



and the only version of "O Holy Night" you will ever need:

OH WOW, sorry about double post, but I just came across this like, yesterday:



It's probably not as mind-blowing if you're not a hard-core Rush freak like I am, but... yea.

Slowest, most sterile "rockabilly" song ever.

It's not the 50's anymore, a little guitar here and there does not a rock song make.
