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

Top Ten Worst Christmas Songs
Amelia Beames

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've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
