The Holiday "Skip" List: Our Most-Hated Christmas Songs

Christmas songs are seen as a pivotal part of the holiday season. They bring feelings of nostalgia, festivity, family and memories. Classics like Jingle Bell Rock and Santa Claus is Coming to Town just make the season feel complete. However, not all Christmas songs are made the same, in fact some songs and artists should probably avoid the holiday season altogether. So what makes a bad Christmas song? Holiday cringe, ill fitting genres, celebrity cash ins and melancholy overload. This week Dave will introduce an entire playlist of what have been deemed as less than classic Christmas songs, and to be honest, are just bad overall. Rob and Dave will discuss, laugh and try to figure out why these were even recorded and who knows, amongst all of the crap, you may find a new holiday classic (which would be strange). So grab some chestnuts and hot cocoa and we’ll go a wassailing, hopefully not being arrested in the process for being a public nuisance and/or disturbing the peace. So Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, even if these songs don’t exactly always make you feel that way
