The most wonderful music of the year?

Balloon Juice has a thread up calling for people to sound off on their least favorite Christmas songs. I don't have one. I have plenty of versions I don't like of this or that song, but no one song drives me crazy during this time of year. It is the aggregate of all of them being forced on me for hours at a time that bothers, not the songs in particular. When it's actually Christmas and I'm home with the family, I'll listen to anything, pretty much.

I have, however, found this thread immensely amusing and more than a little helpful. If my family does elect to go upstate for the holiday, we'll need some road music. I'm thinking I'll have to add a few of these numbers to my playlist. I will also say that, but for this thread, I wouldn't have heard Patton Oswalt's riff on what most likely is the worst Christmas song of all time:

Thank you for the Oswalt clip, I laughed myself hoarse at the God in his underwear bit.

I made the mistake of clicking on that link at work. It was very hard to keep my composure when the bit about Jesus judging people's footwear came on. I need to listen to more of Oswalt's stuff because he's both hilarious and nerdy.
