This is my favorite time of the year and I’ve taken great pleasure in spending (or some say wasting) company time counting down the 25 Worst Christmas Songs…Ever.  By all means, this is not me being a Scrooge.  I’m crazy about the Holidays! (But not “crazy” enough to wear a Mistletoe Belt Buckle to the office Xmas party)  Anyway, as we get closer to the Jolly Ol’ Elf’s next appearance, the songs on this list will continue to get worse and worse.  Happy Holidays!

4. Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer – Elmo and Patsy

Well, I’m sure you knew this one was coming.  It’s been voted most annoying, irritating, obnoxious (and whatever) Christmas song for years.  Elmo & Patsy’s tail of Grandma getting run over by a reindeer sounds like something Alfalfa & the Little Rascals listened to back in the day.  Surprizingly it actually hit the airwaves about the same time CD’s were invented.  The song features a dysfunctional family with whack jobs for grandparents.  Grandpa was a beer guzzling, football junky with a pension for gambling. Grandma was a snow blind, pill popping, alcoholic that was run down by a reindeer. Oh, and apparently the reindeer attacked Grandma?  I’m not buying it from a song that tags Santa as a dude that “plays with elves.”  WTH? 
Lately, ‘wacky’ DJ Bob Rivers has kinda taken over the whole Goofy Christmas Song genre.  But don’t worry, Dr. Elmo is still cranking out the Christmas Novelty Jamz (Does anyone remember Percy, the Puny Poinsettia?) and is probably still laughing all the way to the bank. 

Didja know:  This song was also made into a Holiday cartoon?  Yep, it sucked too.
