I also like Donny Osmond singing, "Mary Did You Know", The music from the Nut Cracker, the Hallaulah Chorus and many others. I agree that there is a great bit of bad Christmas music out there but If you had an Ipod, you could put only the music you liked and listen to that. Bonnie routinely makes up a CD of her favorites and puts it in her car. She also has her favorites on her Ipod........Turn off those stations that only play Christmas music and listen to something else. Brad, I happen to like the Chipmunks!

Great christmas music is among the best music of any type. I agree, the majority of christmas music is crap; but then the majority of ALL music is crap. I hereby invoke Sturgeons law. The problem is, they compress all that crappy christmas music into two months a year; rather than spreading it out the whole year like other crappy music.

No kidding. My abhorrence to it stems from the fact that I seem to keep hearing the same seven songs over and over again. One of my favorite songs is John Lennon's Happy Christmas (War is Over), which has been covered by lots of crappy people (as well as a couple that are not so crappy...) like Celine Dion, Melissa Etheridge, American Idol's Rebecca St. James, Maroon 5, and others. Why would you want to hear anyone else singing a classic? Why do they play "eazy listening" versions of Santana songs? Do we really need Oye Como Va on jazz flute?
