Even before the brink of musical apathy, I frequently found myself thinking that a majority of Christmas songs that were forcibly piped into every corner of my life during the holiday season were rather tasteless, tacky choices that only had the ability to be mocking or just make me angry. I really do enjoy said time of year though, and these songs are still very much able to facilitate that....or at least sometimes...(and yes many are still incredibly tacky despite my preferences for them)
