Oh my gosh.
Even my kids moan in agony when it comes on the radio.
And every year, it is back.
Like head lice.
I have been listening to Christmas music on and off for a couple months now, from my own CD collection, but I recently found a local station who is playing it 24/7.
This gives me some good variety, but also subjects me to Christmas Shoes.
If you don't know what I am talking about: A: You are lucky. And B: Click on "Christmas Shoes" and it will link you to it. Don't come crying to me with your bleeding ear drums.
Also "Simply having a WONDERFUL Christmas Time."
I don't like that one either.
It affects me much like nails on a chalkboard.
What was Paul McCartney thinking?
What an insult to the Beatles.
Anyway, new this year...is CHRISTMAS SHOES: The Movie.
I am not kidding.
And it features Rob! Lowe! So it has GOT to be good. Right?
Really, can they milk the whole mom-dying-during-Christmas thing more?
Heavy sigh.

LOL...I knew I loved you for a good reason. Can't STAND this song either! And yes, another negative about the 24/7 station here. You named another of my least favorite songs, too. Sorry, Beatles...hate it.
The DOGS barking Jingle Bells can take a hike, too. Do y'all have "The 12 Redneck Days of Christmas" too? :)

That is the most awful song ever! No one likes it. We should start a petition to have it banned from all radio stations. And who the heck would ever want to see a movie about it?!?! Yuck!
Ummmm....I like the song!
I think its sweet that the little boy is that desperate to have those shoes so that his mother feels beautiful.
It is awfully sad for a Christmas song, but what other time of year would it work? lol
And the movie is NOT new :p Ive owned that movie for about 4 years I think. The movie sucks!!!! In that 4 years Ive watched it once, while doing something else at the same time, and it still sucked....lol
I am still laughing, I hate that crap, but question what are you doing listening to christmas music for a couple of months? What is that all about? Hello... do you work at wal mart of Broadbents? Have you forgotton a very important holiday? Ummmm how about thanksgiving? Ha Ha just kidding but that song drives me to drink cna't they just play the classics? Like Rudolph the red nose reindeer? how about have yourself a merry little christmas?
I hope I don't push you down trying to buy this new show wil shopping on black friday LOL!!
Hate that song myself, but my 13 yr old DD loves it. We actually watched that movie last Christmas night and it wasn't too bad. Well, maybe it's becaue Rob Lowe is pretty darn cute. Actually DD asked for that moved this year. ARGH!
I will join in the "I can't stand either of those songs".
I'm with you, sister. That song is horrid.
not a big fan of the song ... but i kind of liked the movie. lol! seen it lots of times ... partially for rob lowe! lol!
now that i said that ... can i still come visit you?!?! lol!
LOL!!! I'm just ready for Christmas....
I'm with you. why? why? schmaltz should be banned.
also on the should be banned list: Last Christmas you gave me your heart (gag! doesn't even have anything to do with Christmas really.) Feliz Navidad (verses are a good thing, really) and anything Bette Midler sings (talk about schmaltzy.)
Somehow, I've managed to never hear it, but I'm totally ok with that.
But, I do like Rob Lowe.
Never heard it. Haven't seen the movie, but sappy really isn't my schtick. Whew, I guess moving away saved my sanity....... Okay, maybe not.
I hate "forced cheese" so I'm right there with ya!! (Hey, and are we going to do lunch while Laura and her friend are here in Utah. I'd love to come!!)
I want to know what that song about drinking has anything to do with Christmas? I can't remember the song now.
For those who hate the song - and I am one who hates it with the burning fire of 1000 suns - if you must be subject to listening to it, imagine the boy and his mother are running a scam, suckering people into buying the shoes, which they will then return after Christmas for the cash! Hope this helps.
Blech. Two of my all-time least favorite Christmas songs ever. And now I've got "simply, ha-a-ving, a WON-derful Christmas time" stuck in my head. Thanks.
I think the Christmas Shoes kid is scamming people, too. And we're not the only ones--read the last 6 or so paragraphs of this column: http://www.ericdsnider.com/snide/the-rainbow-correction/
