Hi everybody,

This week's Throwback Thursday moment is from a few years back when Little Kringle paid me a visit on Christmas Eve after a dozed off.  It looks like he may have noticed that I ate most of the Christmas cookies.

The Seven Worst Christmas Songs

Hi everybody,

** About nine years ago I posted the five worst Christmas songs ever (The Five Worst Christmas Songs).  I decided to share that list again (now with even more songs) for you all to "enjoy"....

I love listening to Christmas songs this time of the year.  I enjoy most of them but there are a few I really don't like.  So I decided to list the seven songs I dislike the most.  I hope you don't like them as much as I don't.

1.  The Chipmunks Christmas song (Not even sure if that's the right name)

2.  Paul McCartney "Wonderful Christmas Time"  (Even thinking about this song makes me ill)

3.  "Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer" (I don't have any idea who sings it and I don't really care)

4.  George Michael "Last Christmas"  (ugh)

5.  The Peanuts "Christmas Time is Here" (That song is very depressing and I'm a happy guy)

6.  The Waitresses "Christmas Wrapping"  (This droning and grating mess of a song makes my head hurt)

7.  John Legend ft. Kelly Clarkson "Baby, It's Cold Outside"  (I like the original version of this song but this new version with updated lyrics stinks)
