Where do you stand on the "Wonderful Christmastime" issue

[AppleDumpling]

OMG, I just heard it a few minutes ago in the car on my way home and literally laughed out loud. Had no idea before this thread, the level of hatred people have towards this song. Who knew?

I can tolerate "Wonderful Christmas Time" but I cannot understand the appeal of "Christmas Shoes" or why it's ever on top Xmas songs list or even on the radio. Can anyone who likes this song explain the appeal?
DW can't stand "Christmas Wrapping" by The Waittresses, but I always guessed it was because she forgot cranberries too

It's because your wife forgot cranberries too and things didn't quite go as the song says. You see I quickly snatched the last of them and she didn't get any cranberries.

I neither like it nor dislike it. The way I figure it, it's not worth switching XM stations over.

 

[BigAlsGal]

Funny I use to hate it. But as I've grown older I find it quite charming.

 

[Atlas722]

Paul McCartney's "classic" song, that is. Many think it's dreck, others like it, others think it's dreck but like it for the nostalgic value.

What say you?

I say no.

 

[L&Lfan]

It's a sprightly, gay ditty . I like it .

 

[The Mystery Machine]

Have NOT heard it yet. Still like it....

After they broke up. Paul was no John. John made better songs Christmas themed or not.

Wife hates it, I'm ok with it. Not as bad as the Beach Boys Little Saint Nick (chorus: "Christmas comes this time each year")

My husband insists it is the worst song ever written.

My husband insists it is #2. John Lennon's Happy XMas is the worst.

Since it's the holiday season once again, BTTT for more heated "Wonderful Christmas Time" debate! Keep it clean!

 

[Micca]

Still a big fan! FYI there's a new version with Sir Paul & The Roots. Good news for the haters: It's only about a minute & a half long!

 

[Geoff_M]

Absolutely hate it.... I dive for the "off" button whenever I hear it.

 

[Wubar]

#1 ranking on the playlist of worst Christmas songs. Drives me bonkers everytime I hear any notes from that synthesized ridiculousness...

 

[L&Lfan]

I still don't mind it. There are other Christmas songs I really dislike. Mariah Carey's is the first to come to mind.

 

[GreatLakes]

It isn't my favorite Christmas song but I like it. If you write "Yesterday" and the majority of the second half of Abbey Road you get a pass on just about anything but I don't get the hate of this song. It isn't supposed to be groundbreaking, he's already done that, it is just fun.

SIMPLY
HAVING
A WONDERFUL
CHRISTMASTIME!

 

[robinb]

Darn it! Now I have that song in my head!

OK ... who the heck bumped this thread?! 3 years later and the stupid thing in stuck in my head AGAIN!

 

[L&Lfan]

I love seeing him happy with his beloved Linda again instead of the one legged gold digger he later married.

Too funny - the song was playing on my Christmas channel JUST when I saw this thread and clicked on it. In fact, I clicked "skip" before I even read the thread! It's OK but occasionally I find it annoying.
