Lest you think I am a scrooge when it comes to Christmas music, let me first point out that I love it! Can't wait for the non-stop Christmas music blaring through the car speakers. Turning down the TV sound and listening to those old favorites at night. Bing Crosby, Nat King Cole, Andy Williams. Even the contemporary music is pretty good.
These all are general statements of course. They apply in over 99% of cases. Notice I did not say 100%.
[Warning: Here comes the Scrooge part.]
I cannot stand The Chipmunk Song. It's the Christmas music equivalent of nails on a chalkboard (which I would actually prefer to that screechy whining that attempts to pass for a song!) I mean really now...is this "song" really getting you in the Christmas mood? Does it cause you to hearken back to your care-free childhood days awaiting the arrival of St. Nick? Conjure up images of a beautiful snowfall outside and a blazing fire inside?
No. None of these things. Maybe a cat being tortured in a back alley.
Let the record show that I have nothing against chipmunks per se. I just think they should stick to chipmunk-ing and leave the Christmas crooning to Johnny Mathis.

Au contrair (sp??) This song actually totally reminds me of Christmas. Granted I am younger than you, but Michale, Cindy and I used to listen to the record of the chipmunk christmas story every Christmas eve when we were little. So just b/c you aren't fond of them...it brings back great memories for me and I do conjure up pictures of snow! :-P
So, I can't spell...Michael
Well, I have to agree with you on this one. I have never liked the Chipmunks and now I don't know what to do because the little ones want me to take them to see that new movie....I guess it will be rock,paper,scissors between me and Greg.
P.S. Add to that "Grandma got run over by a reindeer"....really now!
