The Worst Christmas Songs, Ranked

Thanksgiving is barely over, yet radio stations all over the nation have been gracing us with the jolly tunes of the Christmas season. The other day, I found myself listening to the Sirius XM Holiday station, and realized that there is quite a variety of totally awful Christmas songs. Whether it’s a bad remake of a classic song, or a new song that is poorly written with a horrible melody, the list of bad Christmas songs can go on and on. Here is my list of the top 10 worst Christmas songs ever.

10. “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus” - Sorry, it’s just plain creepy.

9. “Grandma Got Run Over by A Reindeer” - It gets stuck in your head in the worst way.

8. “Wonderful Christmastime” - Sorry to all the Paul McCartney lovers, this will never be a good song.

7. “All I Want for Christmas is My Two Front Teeth” - Sure, it might be cute, but who actually likes this song?

6. “Please Daddy, Don’t Get Drunk for Christmas” - Probably relatable, but a terrible song.

5. Literally anything off the “Alvin and the Chipmunks” Christmas album.

4. “Nuttin’ for Christmas” - The title says it all.

3. “I Farted On Santa’s Lap (Now Christmas is Gonna Stink for Me)” - Really now?

2. “Funky, Funky Xmas” - New Kids on the Block always trying to keep it funky fresh.

1. “I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas” - Yes, this is actually a song.

So, if you’re in the mood for a good laugh and see a few songs on this list you have not heard of, give them a listen. You’ll definitely want to stick with Bing Crosby and the rest of the classics from here on out.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
