It depends what it is!
The artificial, sickly, Disney-esque , pseudo-sentimentality of the supermarket slush... no, no, thrice no!
Some pop songs - maybe, but very few I soon forget, and I'd not miss them.
Religious music? Now here's a curious thing.
I am not religious and tend to the non-Christian rather than Christian side of the turn-of-the-year celebrations; but do find a lot of carols, and services like the annual broadcast [i]Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols[/i], from King's College, Cambridge (University chapel) very uplifting.
Similarly too, I enjoy the annual round-Europe shared broadcast of mainly-religious, some folk, Christmas music from maybe ten countries in turn; run by the European Broadcasting Union and transmitted in Britain by BBC Radio Three.

@ArishMell [i][c=BF0080]Oh nice! [/c][/i]
Some. But not the ones like, "I'll Be Home For Christmas". Haha not the sad and dramatic ones, no! Or a very sad Perry Como Christmas song. 😂😂😂 Just no. No can handle. Haha and for that reason I don't listen to Christmas songs much, unless I happen to hear one's that are joyful.

Big fan of Christmas. Music especially.
Hearing certain songs triggers the smell of pine needles and childhoods by the tree.
This was always on the record player Christmas Eve---and still is:

Agreed on Elf. Will Ferrel is a turn off in the role as a giant santa's helper.
All the classics are ok though: Charlie Brown's Xmas, Rudolph, The Bishop's Wife B&W with Carey Grant, It's a Wonderful Life, and A Christmas Carol--Alistair Sim
Muppets Christmas 🤭

I always found it joyous and uplifting...because I used to love to sing.
My brother had an Album of French Christmas Carols...very old ones...very beautiful. I used to fudge the words, and didn't always know what they meant, but I still loved singing them.
Un Flambeau, Jeannette, Isabella
Il est ne le divin enfant...and so many more.
My father used to belt out "Adeste Fideles" In Latin, imitating his father who used to sing it with a weird nasal accent....and I used to love singing that, too.

@calicuz Actually it is a song about organ donation. He had his heart transplanted into someone but then someone in even worse health needed a heart so it got transplanted again.
When he says something about next year giving it to someone special - What is going on there is there is this r3tarded guy who needs a heart so for next christmas he is going to donate his heart to that guy with Down's.
Any questions?

I like Christmas music and movies, but only after thanksgiving has passed. I hate the early commercial sales pitches and pushing when it is not even anywhere close to Thanksgiving. This rant was for folks in the United States, because I have no idea what it is like in your native countries with your traditions and religions.

@MellyMel22 yeah i know dammit.....plus they started Hallmark Christmas movies in September!! My mom has been in heaven. Thats all that will be on tv when we see my family for thanksgiving.....but, perhaps i might surprise her and find a horror flick to scare the pants off her!! 😜😂
