I worked in a mall for more years than I care to remember. Therefore, traditional Christmas music gives me the feeling of dread and terror. I can’t stand it and I have never recovered. Especially, that damned Chipmunks song.
That being said, I figured that I would compose a list of Christmas songs that are better than the redundant shit you hear blasting through the mall, as you and other evil shoppers try to kill each other over NutriBullets and toilet seat covers.
Here is my Chipmunk free list.
