Or am I simply the world’s worst grinch because it makes my teeth grind so much?

    Sadly yes. There are people who love the saccharine sweetness of Christmas and what it represents. It is part of the reason why Christmas has taken over American Thanksgiving.

    It was the happiest time of the year for a large number of adults when they were children and they keep wanting to go back to that happiness.

      “Back in my day” it was a good time because the rest of the year things were tough for the average family, and things were expensive. Christmas somehow had parents scrape together enough for chocolate and toys. And lots of visitors.

    Not enough innuendo, a lot of missed opportunities. I mean you have cookies and milk, totally unused. Like “fill my stocking with a duplex” could easily have been “fill my stocking with gifts from your sack”. Is she even trying?

    I’m with you, christmas songs are already on my shitlist from being force fed them on repeat while working (which I’m pretty sure is against the Geneva Convention), and that one has always been one of the worst.

    I hate the cutesy little voice that sings it and it’s a weird song, is she going to fuck the mythical creature, or is she going to fuck her parents (the real “Santa”)? She clearly wants to fuck one of em I’m just not clear which.

    And how damn old is she? You think Leo and his 25yos are bad, what about Nick over here being 1,730ish years older than her?!

      Neither. She’s singing to her boyfriend (not husband - “forgot to mention one little thing a ring”) and listing the presents she’d like, plus IMO heavily implying sex as a reward.

    It ain’t my favorite either. But it’s a popular song. I do doubt those exact sentenced were said, by virtue of being a little awkwardly phrased, but I have seen and heard people being happy to hear the song, or to use it as their first Christmas song as they verbiage celebrate the season.
