Your Take: Most Hated and Most Loved Holiday Songs

The World

We love music on The Takeaway, and we know you do to. So it’s no surprise that when we asked, you delivered. A ton of responses this morning to our question: What are your most loved or most hated holiday songs?

Wallace Graham in Brighton Beach, N.Y., had this to say:

The Christmas song I cannot stand to hear is “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus.” That kid’s shrill voice hurts you teeth. Hurts you fillings. Terrible.

David from Fla. had this take:

I love Christmas music, but I’m an atheist, which is double weird. So my favorite song is “I Pray on Christmas” by Harry Connick Jr. It’s a really good song.
