For me Christmas songs are either loathe or detest or cringe.

Christmas for me is about new birth new chapters new beginings.

Songs.. Killed off by DJ as played over and over.

That's my idea of Hell.

And Charlie Brooks' as well, since he wrote a Christmas Black Mirror episode where the protagonist is trapped in a virtual prison where that's playing on a loop for what is essentially eternity.

I can’t agree more with this, not only condescending, but inaccurate as well.

Having gone through the thread and seen all the suggestions, it seems like many are mentioned due to them being trite & tedious rather than necessarily being genuinely awful.

I think I have found what is legitimately the worst Christmas song of all time..

I won't name it, it has to be experienced..
