2. This is in the wrong list. IMHO Its one of the best secular christmas pop songs, not one of the worst.
David Miles at 3:11PM on Dec 8th 2007
3. You are way off on this one being in the worst category!!! This is a GREAT SONG!!! The synthesizers definately add to that!!! :) Have a Happy Holidays and thanks for the interesting list you come up with!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mike at 3:22PM on Dec 8th 2007
4. What's your problem with synthesizers?

5. I remember searching for "wonderful christmas time lyrics" on Google, only to be appalled when nothing but Hilary Duff's cover came up in the results.
Joe Smith at 3:47PM on Dec 8th 2007
6. I was surprised to see this song on the list. Unlike some of these other overplayed songs, this one doesn't get old. Why is Paul dissing it?
William at 3:51PM on Dec 8th 2007
7. This song should be #1 on this list. Once I get the chorus in my head, it never leaves. I absolutely hate this song.
Beth at 3:53PM on Dec 8th 2007
8. Simply a wonderful X-mas song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Walter at 3:54PM on Dec 8th 2007
9. I don't know what it is about this song. Maybe it's the silly sound of the synth that Sir Paul managed to bring out, but whatever it is it annoys the cr*p out of me!
Gino at 4:50PM on Dec 8th 2007
10. You people are nuts. Why would you choose this song. It is a great song. Who made you the Christmas song police.
Cindy Skeoch at 4:54PM on Dec 8th 2007
11. why are these stupid lists created? this is someone's opinion of what the 12 worst christmas songs are, not everyone's. some of you may agree with this list, but i on the other hand do not agree with this song in particular. it's songs like this that let me know christmas is right around the corner and really puts me in the christmas mood. but, again, that is my opinion... just like this list

12. Not surprised. Spinner hates everything just like Blender does.
AP at 5:55PM on Dec 8th 2007
13. McCartney's Christmas song is not only one of the worst Christmas songs of all time, it is one of the worst songs of all time. It is boring. It is banal. It is simply dreck! And it is inescapable. Every time I hear it, I want to open a vein.
JAA at 6:25PM on Dec 8th 2007
14. In total agreement with all of those with posative remarks toward this song. I too am placed in a most blissful cheery spirit when I hear this song. Though non-traditional, it brings on the spirit. Another reason to doubt these goofy, silly bashings.

15. I like this one. It reminds me of better times.
