I vaguely remember seeing some kind of TV special decades ago that introduced "Little Drummer Boy" and thinking it clashed with everything I had always known and accepted about the Christmas story. You can't just go creating new characters and narratives, can you?  Apparently...yes.

 

I'm sorry, but to this day that "bah-rumpa-bum-bump" song gives me the creeps.

 

I have issues with "Holly Jolly Christmas", too.  But that's a story for another time.

Either Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer or Dominick the Donkey. I'm not sure which is worst. The only thing that the Grandma song has going for it is that it was written as a parody. Dominick doesn't even have that.

 

Both my parents had issues with the Little Drummer Boy--for the same reasons as @Colleen Hendersondoes. My father had issues with Blue Christmas, but that was because he just didn't like Elvis. 

 

Another candidate is the one about the little boy buying red shoes for his dying mother on Christmas eve (Christmas shoes? Can't remember the title.) It's just plain sad on an occasion that should bre joyous.

I am going to vote for the Little Drummer Boy. It also creeps me out. Mainly because quite a few years ago (80's maybe) some clothing manufacturer used it in a commercial to sell womens jeans. Definitely not in the spirit of good taste!

This was popular when I was a kid.  It sucked then, and it sucks now:  "All I want for Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth."  Spike Jones and the City Slickers did the first recording of it.

LOL.  When I was a kid, there was an even worse variation of it, to the same tune, called "All I want for Christmas is a Beatle."  Click at your own risk... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ozoaBftyjI

I agree "Grandma got run over..." is one of the top five in my book, but then there's Alvin and the Chipmunks "Christmas don't be late"... Also "I saw mommy kissing Santa Claus" and for some reason "Silver Bells" songs just irritates me. I'd have to say "All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth" beats "Dominic the donkey," I guess I wasn't tortured enough with it. But much rather listen to Dominic the Donkey, over Alvin and the Chipmunks.... Anything is better.😑

I'd forgotten about Alvin and the Chipmunks. I think it may be due to psychological blocking it out. They sound like fingernails on a chalkboard or worse. I swear they qualify as torture no matter what they sing.

My wife despises "Little Drummer Boy" - I was okay with it until I heard versions by Johnny Cash AND Bob Dylan. Ouch.

That was hysterical Colleen.

A different definition of a roast, but well deserved!

Yeah, I forgot them too, until a teacher attempt to pick it for a movie to show a subclass for a bunch of middle school children. Had a brief PTSD moment. My ears are very sensitive. Luckily the children chose wisely and wanted to watch, Monsters Inc. Felt like I dodge a bullet, thought briefly about taking an unexpected leave of absence.

 

"Little drummer boy" is creepy, sounds like a death march, but I can at least listen to the full song without wishing for any and all Divine entities to show mercy upon my miserable soul by removing me from the material plane where them Chipmunks be singing.

Amen. I can well believe both the PTSD moment and I agree about the Little Drummer Boy. IMHO, that teacher should be tried for child abuse for even suggesting the Chipmunks. 🤣

Another candidate might be It's a Marshmallow World by Dean Martin. It's juet cringe-worthy.

IMHO the teacher would probably be fine with it and say they were doing their job perfectly. I think it was just a poor decision, cuz they were thinking about revenge but no thought for the only help in the room, who's now internally screaming.

The school we were working for, had difficult subjects(Children). The student had zero discipline, nightmare levels of why, but it's not all their fault, cuz school admin was to busy dodging disgruntled parents. Honestly, those children on average thought being in school is the equivalent of torture, but they're still learning.

Never heard that one. A new one for the cringe pile.

      4 months doesn’t seem such a long time now compared to the times I was previously looking at! 🙂   Many thanks to @Karen Careyfor pointing me towards GenderCare, they have been nothing but helpful and professional, and I wouldn’t be where I am now without them.

      Emotion of the day

      By Heather Shay · Posted

      Love is a mix of feelings and actions that shows a deep liking for someone or something. Love involves caring for another. Romantic love can lead to things such as dating, marriage and sex, but a person can also feel for friends, such as platonic love, or family. There are also chemical reactions within the brain that can be triggered by the different types of love.

      Good morning All. Coffees on.

      By April Marie · Posted

      Good morning, everyone!! I'm still battling the Worst Head Cold Ever. Just when I think I've turned the corner, it smacks me back down. If you've got stock in tissues, I'm driving up your profits.   Our early Spring has the grass growing quickly. I need to get out today and cut it before it grows over the house. Today is supposed to be sunny and mid-60s so I'll suck up not feeling great and get the mowers out. At least I'll be in the sunshine for a few hours. The next few days are supposed to be rainy so it's today or wait until the weekend.   Time for a second cup of coffee!!   Stay safe and enjoy this beautiful day we've been given!!

      Welcome Mattie.  When i got here i was at a point bin my journey when i was discovering my path.  Writing about it and reading about others helped me greatly as did gender therapy.  Perhaps the hardest thing was finding self acceptance without feeling guilt at simply being me. Enjoy your time here.  You are not alone.   Hugs,   Charlize

      I picked a cancellation spot with Dr Lorimer yesterday and had my consultation a month early.  I had been worried about how it would go, but the process of exchanging information was nothing to worry about and I felt quite at ease throughout.  That’s not to say some parts weren’t challenging to articulate clearly, but Dr Lorimer’s manner helped enormously.   The GI/GD diagnosis was such a welcome conclusion to it all, and such an important milestone in my journey.   Now for the Endo consult waiting…

      I am on a three month review cycle for dosage. Do you have a plan with your doctor? I didn't discuss overall strategy when I got my prescription, it was a very long appointment. I was able to ask via web message to get a better idea; we'll check blood every 3 months and titrate accordingly. I don't know if we'll change labs to 6mo after a year or not, but that's where I'm at now. I, too, was like "is this enough?" at the start. Maybe it was, maybe it wasn't, but I've seen positive results during the months at a lower dose and continue to notice changes. For instance, my skin sensitivity is much higher. I always wondered why my wife was so ticklish, but I'm starting to understand why. I'll bet I am 20-40% more sensitive to touch than I was before; gently tickling my arm (I would wake up doing this sometimes, up and down my arms) now makes my fingers tingle...in a good way. :)
