What's your nominee for the worst holiday song ever?
I don't know if anyone else will be in the mood for this, but I'm feeling bah humbuggy, so here goes...
Is there a Christmas song you think is absolutely awful? I'm not talking a bad performance, but a song that makes you cringe because of the content, because it's so maudlin or in bad taste or... whatever. If there's a holiday song that makes you want to groan and roll your eyes, please tell us what it is and why. Videos welcome, but absolutely not required! 
I'll start by nominating a song that is just way too damned depressing for me: "Please, Daddy, Don't Get Drunk This Christmas," as performed by John Denver (why, John, why?):

That Jesus would reject someone from heaven for having bad shoes.
If you haven't heard his take-down of the song, search YouTube for it, it's a hoot!
And I LIKE Christmas songs. Some of these cross over from what you want - subject material - to performance, but this can rev me up.
First off, pedantic. "Hallelujah," by Leonard Cohen is NOT a Christmas song, PENTATONIX! It's about coming to terms with broken love.
Second, I don't care if it was a different time - "Baby, It's Cold Outside," which really wasn't a Christmas song until it appeared in, "Elf."
Third - Anything by Kenny G.
Fourth, in the WTF category - Christmas Shoes (Patton Oswalt's breakdown is hilarious)
Fifth - Anything by Michael Buble. I will fight you. You know the image of his Xmas album where he's holding a gift behind his back? He's farting on it, thus symbolically farting not just on Christmas but all music.
Sixth, a new edition - Tyler the Creator's version of, "Mister Grinch." from the new Grinch cartoon (which I really enjoyed).
My only other complaint is that the two radio stations in my city that switch over to Xmas music don't do enough to diversify their playlist. It's not uncommon to hear on one station, "Winter Wonderland," by two different artists within an hour. My friends and I talk about, "Crazy Billionaire Money," as in what would we do if we had that. I would set up a radio station, and add to my already large and esoteric bunch of Xmas songs then write some code to create a playlist for an entire month that didn't repeat as much as the others, do whatever to have it played (hire staff, etc), and turn it loose.
It's not a Christmas song OR a funeral song.
If the person who died just really lived a life of bitter recrimination or something like that.
Yuk!
I hope your day improves, ShazzieB! Nothing exciting going on here, either. 
Just think: We are another day closer to SC Smith's flurry of indictments! 
... agree with the John Denver one, but I do like some of the others mentioned in the thread. I think Christmas/Holiday songs are bad when an established celebrity (singer or actor) "covers" some classic. For example, I really don't need to hear William Shatner sing Jingle Bell Rock. For a specific song identified with a group, I was very disappointed with Little Saint Nick. I loved the Beach Boys and when I heard they had their own Christmas song, I was excited... but did not like their song.
