There's some great Christmas music out there... but then there's this.

Top Ten Worst Christmas Songs

I love Christmas. And I love music. And one of the best parts of Christmas is—hands-down—the Christmas music. My suite mates love Bing Crosby. Josh Groban is one of my roommate's favorites. Mannheim Steamroller is my tradition. Of course, not all Christmas music is created equal. There's some pretty weird stuff out there... So this year, we, the Odyssey team here at FHU, came together and decided on the top ten all-time worst Christmas songs.

1. "Santa Claus is Coming to Town"

"You'd better watch out." Enough said.

2. "The Christmas Shoes"

Frankly, this song is SO DEPRESSING. Who wants to be depressed around Christmas?

3. "Silent Night"

Literally no one is quiet on Christmas. No one. It's Christmas.

4. "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer"

We have to clarify this one... we only don't like version where kids are singing it. The Harry Connick Jr. version is actually pretty fabulous.

5. "Do You Hear What I Hear"

But really though. Have you ever taken a close look at these lyrics? The "night wind" is talking to a sheep, for crying out loud.

6. "Happy Birthday Jesus"

I hate to burst anyone's bubble, but I've got to call out the historical inaccuracies here. There's a lot of debate, but in general, scholars tend to agree that Jesus wasn't actually born on December 25th. And even aside from that technicality, the song is kinda annoying anyway.

7. "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer"

Here's a really messed-up song to get you in the holiday mood! I mean, why was grandma out walking around all by herself on Christmas in the first place? And don't even get me started on the wig line.

8. "Santa Baby"

Isn't Santa that bearded old dude? No one thinks this is creepy? Really?

9. "Baby It's Cold Outside"

The lyrics are actually creepy, when you think about it. Girl, get yourself out of there, cold outside or not.

10. "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus"

I'm scared to know there's a movie by the same title. I don't even want to know.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
