When it comes to classic Christmas songs, I love pretty much all of them. I, unlike most people, love Paul McCartney’s “Wonderful Christmas Time” — one of the most divisive holiday songs of all time. I never change a festive station or skip a Christmas song unless Christmas Shoes comes on. I’ve even left stories if it’s playing.
Sorry, I don’t feel like crying in Nordstrom today.

It’s no secret that many people feel very passionately about Christmas music.
It’s something that we’ve all grown up with and have nostalgic feelings attached to. I love listening to the classics like Dean Martin and Bing Crosby, but I also have a special spot in my heart for Mariah Carey and Kelly Clarkson’s Christmas albums.
And don’t even get me started on my deep love of my “Christmas with Boney M”. album.
As you can see, I’m a true Christmas music aficionado, so when I tell you I don’t like something, there has to be a good reason.
Thankfully, most of Twitter agrees with me so I don’t have to fight this battle alone.
“What is the second worst Christmas song?” tweeted one user. “The first is indisputably ‘Christmas Shoes.’ But what is the second?”
“Annual reminder that ‘Christmas Shoes’ is the worst song ever written and has no place in our society,” tweeted another user.
“What are the top two worst Christmas songs and why are they both ‘The Christmas Shoes?'” said another.
I think it’s safe to say we’re all on the same page here — who wants to cry at Christmas? Not me! Unless it’s because I have a stomach ache from eating too many cookies and chugging too much eggnog.
