I believe I wrote this in 2021.....not sure why it was still languishing as a draft.....
First it was the Civil War monuments. Then History in general. Last year, they criticized Baby It's Cold Outside....fine. Yeah, it's a little creepy by today's standards.
But now they're going after some of my favorite movies, not taking the fact they were made in the 40s and 50s. And today I saw a list of the 30th Most Disturbing Christmas Carols.
1) Jingle Bells
-Are you kidding me? Who even sings that 2nd verse?
2) I'll Be Home For Christmas
-It was written by a WW2 soldier! It's still relevant, since we still have military personnel overseas.
3) I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Clause
-O.M.G. The singer is obviously watching his mom kissing his dad, and there's NO THOUGHT of 'OMG, Mommy's cheating on Daddy!' Get a clue....
4) Back Door Santa
-Never heard of it.
5) You're A Mean One, Mr. Grinch
-*eye roll* It was made to go with the movie.
6) Do They Know It's Christmas
-This was made to raise awareness of the famine in Aftica, and regardless, it's a great tune and song! Shut up already....
7) Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer
-*eye roll*
8) Baby It's Cold Outside
-See previous comment at top
9) Please Daddy (Don't Get Drunk On Christmas)
-Another one I've never heard.
10) The Christmas Shoes
-This one makes me cry....It's a sad song about a child's desire to buy his mother a gift for Christmas, since she's dying.
11) Santa Clause Is Coming To Town
-Another eye roll.....
12) Don't Shoot Me Santa
-Yet again another one I've never heard.
13) White Christmas
-I'll admit, I prefer a green Christmas....but the 'logic' behind this is so skewed....geez/...
14) Santa Buddy/Santa Baby
-I'll admit, I've not heard Buble's version, and I can't stand Madonna's. This is the song I like the LEAST this time of the year.....unless, of course, Vickers is singing it at karaoke....
15) Blue Christmas
-Leave Elvis alone....
16) Last Christmas
-It's catchy!
17) It's The Most Wonderful Time of the Year
-The main complaint is 'scary ghost stories'? Has the author never seen Christmas Carol? That Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come is pretty scary....
18) Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas
-Again, the main complaint is 'if the Fates allow..' Ummm.....there ARE people out there who believe in Fate....
19) Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer
-Dude, where's your sense of humor? I bet you don't like 12 Days of Christmas by Bob and Doug Makenzie either....This song was a staple on Dr. Demento!
20) This Christmas
-Okay; the 4th one I've not heard...
21) Happy X-mas (The War is Over)
-5th one I've not heard....
22) Frosty The Snowman
-Frosty committed suicide? Give me a break....
23) Millie Pulled a Pistol on Santa
-6th one not heard....
24) Father Christmas
-7th one not heard....
25) Santa Claus is Watching You
-8th one not heard....
26) Up On The Housetop
-Some kids would be thrilled to find a hammer and tacks (or nails!) and a whip that cracks.....yeah, probably not today, but maybe in 40s???
27) We Three Kings
-Let's face it; the only time we actually sing this verse is at the organist's discretion!
28) Bells Will Be Ringing
-Oh geez.....
29) I Have A Little Dreidel
-At least they included a Hannukah Song! What about Adam Sandler's?
30) It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas
-Yes, it mentions gender-specific toys. Geez....
