There is such a thing as too much of a good thing.

The 10 Worst Christmas Songs of All Time

As soon the Thanksgiving day turkey carcass hits the trash, Christmas songs start playing on the radio. While some of them are bearable (All I Want For Christmas, I'm talking to you), there are some songs that make you want to rip your eardrums out. These are those songs:

1. Baby, It's Cold Outside by Neptune's Daughter

This song is the literal worst. Actual quote: "I simply must go (but baby, it's cold outside) The answer is no." If you like this song, you probably don't understand consent.

2. Spin Me A Christmas by Aqua

Did you know the band that sung Barbie Girl had other songs? Well, they do, and they're horrible. Believe it or not, this came out in 2009.

3. Have a Cheeky Christmas by The Cheeky Girls

Believe it or not, this song is sort of catchy. It's also terrifying. And how do they make chopping wood look so easy? One of the great Cheeky Girls mysteries.

4. Christmas Conga by Cyndi Lauper

There's something incredibly annoying about this song. Maybe it's that Cyndi Lauper rhymes the words "bonga, bonga, bonga" with "conga."

5. Millenium Prayer by Cliff Richard

What a lazy excuse for a song—this song is just the Lord's Prayer recited over and over. Plagiarize much, Cliff?

6. Christmas Tree by Lady Gaga

This song, in true Lady Gaga fashion, is disturbing. There's something about it's lack of rhythm or meaning that is actually nauseating. Actual lyric: "My Christmas tree's delicious."

7. Do They Know It's Christmas by Band Aid (any year)

This song features a bunch of rich celebrities singing about bringing Christmastime to Africa in the most condescending way possible: by focusing on their fame and selling the song on iTunes. One Direction, Bono, and Ed Sheeran have no business telling us that "the greatest gift (Africans will) get this year is life / Oh, where nothing ever grows, no rain or rivers flow / Do they know it's Christmastime at all?"

What a first world outlook. What a terrible song.

8. Christmas Time is Here by Alvin & The Chipmunks

As if these movies weren't the worst things on the planet, there had to be music in them, and they had to record a christmas song. DO NOT LISTEN TO IT. It will make your ears bleed.

9. Nuttin' For Christmas by Stan Freberg

This little brat's voice is too much to handle. It doesn't help that it ends with the kid helping an adult man rob his parents because he didn't get the Christmas presents. Sit through the entire 3:13 song and cartoon. I dare you.

10. Funky, Funky Christmas

Christmas should not be funky—end of story.


Enjoy this rendition of "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" by DMX to cleanse your palette.

Merry Christmas!

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.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
