I just took out the butter and eggs to come to room temp so I can bake some. Thought about oatmeal chocolate chip but decided to stick with the OG cookie.
I need to get the chocolate crinkle and peanut butter cookie recipes from my mom tomorrow.
Planning on baking and sending some cookies to my boss along with my mom and sister

Truly questionable choices on that, especially at the top.

I mean, the Grande, Bieber, Smith, and Coldplay songs can take a hike.
The order can be argued but at least they got most of the greatest ones in there.
Biggest omission is Bruce Springsteen - "Santa Clause is Coming to Town" and Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer

No Fairytale of New York disqualifies that list no matter what insipid nonsense is the top 5.

Bieber, Bauble, and Mariah all being top 10 means this list sucks from the jump, but that omission doesn't help their argument either...

Just one problem??I have a problem with this list

Give me the old-school classics. Bing, not Bieber.
I'm shocked Jeff Foxworthy's 12 Redneck Days of Christmas didn't make it on the list.
Should be there
A song that many write off as a novelty record but a powerful message

The Wham one is pretty bad too. And I'm one who thinks George Michael's solo stuff is really underrated. The guy could sing.

The worst Christmas song of all time? Paul McCartney's "Wonderful Christmastime". That song is proof that even a Beatle can put out the suck. I'd honestly rather hear Mariah played on a loop. In fact, Mariah's song is a good tune, harkening back to the Phil Spector Christmas Album sound. It's just massively overplayed. The McCartney song is pure trash from the get go.

I'm not unconvinced that McCartney didn't write that as a joke to see if he could write the worst song of all time and still have it get radio play just because of who he was and how much he dominated the charts in 1979-80.

nothing is worse than Christmas Shoes...that song and all who had a hand in its creation can burn in hell

It's the only theory that fits. It's just a bad song. It's like Mozart writing Chopsticks.

Yeah, that's really bad too. But only in a "Did this guy just write a friggin' Christmas song about a kid buying shoes for his dead mother!!?? kind of way.
His rendition of Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me might be better than Elton's. I love that one and Father Figure.
If anyone has a great full version of O Come All Ye Faithful in Latin, please let me know. It is virtually impossible to find a decent version that is more than one verse. I was in church choir and we only sang that song in Latin so to hear it in English still seems strange all these years later.

My least favorite Christmas songs are in no particular order: Last Christmas by Wham, anything by Mariah, and McCartney's Wonderful Christmastime. I literally cannot turn the channel fast enough when any of those come on. I tend to skew more towards the classics anyways. Give me Frank singing Have yourself a merry little Christmas and I'm good to go.
McGarnagle

More than that, I think it's just a cheap cash grab. Not that he needs the money, but it's a cash cow he can milk year over year.
Paul was the sole writer, producer, and performer on the track, doing every part. I believe he owned his publishing rights by then too, so basically it's an easy novelty song guaranteed to get airplay every December. I just read that he collects approximately $400,000 per year on royalties for that song alone.
