Hello- thanks for taking the time to stop by and read my blog.

I have a large appetite for media that other people might consider to be “bad.” I like “bad” movies almost more than I like good ones, and the same goes for really bad music. Some of the absolute worst music ever created has been Christmas/Holiday related, so naturally I gravitate towards “bad” Christmas songs, also.

For the sake of definition I want you to understand what I mean by “bad” Chrsitmas songs. In order for a song to make it to my “Worst Ever” list it has to have all of the following elements:

1. The song must be a “bad” song, even despite it’s holiday content. It can’t simply be a bad version of a normally good song - the song must be a bad song no matter who performs it. I have many favorite “bad” versions of songs, but they will not be covered in this blog. There may be one or two exceptions, but mostly not.
2. The song must be earnest - it can’t be intentionally bad - that is a whole different thing. There are many songs that are intentionally bad, and though enjoyable, they will not be included in this blog.
3. The song can’t be a parody of an otherwise “normal” christmas song.

I hope that you will enjoy my offerings here, and please feel free to make comments.
