I was the worst use of a synthesizer ever. The song makes me want to puke every time I hear it. I'm not a huge solo McCartney fan anyway.

Paul would never be able to top John's "Happy Christmas-the war is over". Paul's song is just too bubbly and doesn't have any substance,if some unknown had come out with that melody it wouldn't have gone anywhere.

PhreddyB, I'm worried about you...quickly, call 911 and tell them you have stroke-like symptoms. If they ask you what the symptoms are, tell them, "I'm enjoying that Macca Christmas song..."

They'll send a Medevac Helicopter.

Hold on, brother, I think you'll be okay...just hold on!

Just a little joke, my brother...I probably like a lot of music that you don't like, it's all good.
Didn't mean to offend you if I did.

hey screamin- no offense- just having fun with you! just reminds me of a lady i was with when this song came out. she liked it- put her in a good mood, and good things followed.

i'm with you though- my wife has songs she likes that just annoy me. you think after 28 years i would be used to it.

merry christmas my friend!

this song reminds me of some of my favorite childhood christmas at my uncle's house.
everyone laughing, whole family there having a good time.
my uncle and a few more family members have passed. we are not as united as we were then.
the song hold zero musical value in my book, its all nostalgic :wink:

Well, I guess that I'm part of the minority too, but I do
prefer Demi Lovato's version of this tune :

I have always enjoyed listening to Christmas songs Paul's version makes me smile every time and Demi's version is very nice as well. Minority cheers for Christmas time!

To be honest, I never really liked any Christmas music at all.

I think it's because when I was six years old, we went to the mall and a guy dressed like Santa Claus tried to kill my dad.

Think about how boring it would be if everyone liked/disliked
the same things...
