Christmas songs are one of the best parts of the jolly season. You hear them in shopping malls, in coffee shops, on the radio and you just get a warm and happy feeling.

But, some Christmas songs are so overplayed that they just make you groan.

1. Laylet Eid Al Milad

I guess you don't need to be creative with the name if you're gonna laugh really weirdly in your song... 

Trust me, I know the "Ho ho ho" is hard to get at times like this, but it's definitely not whatever they're doing in this song. 

But, by far, the best part of this song is when Santa is being told where he needs to go for Christmas, and from 3:25 to 3:40 it's just "3al khaleej" in the background. It just gets even weirder from then on. 

You know, I take it back. We should listen to this song every day just to get every part of how complex it is. It's like an entire story in one song. 

2. Last Christmas – Wham!

I doubt there's a person in the world who doesn't know this song. It was released in 1984 by Wham!  and since then, for 32 years, George Michael has carelessly given his heart away. 

We hope that this is the year he learns to give it to someone special

3. All I Want for Christmas Is You – Mariah Carey

Everyone together! Let's try to hit that last note. This song was my favorite Christmas song as a child. But honestly, at this day and age, who wants love? I want food! 

P.S.  This song is Mariah Carey's biggest international success. 

4. Feliz Navidad – José Feliciano

I'm all up for a mix of languages in my Christmas songs, but I just don't understand this song. I don't understand how it came to be. Did José Feliciano go to the recording studio one day and say: "Listen, I'm going to say Merry Christmas a BUNCH of times in Spanish and then in English too, OK?"

Was everyone OK with this? 

5. Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer – Gene Autry

Please don't get me started on this song that mocks a reindeer that's different until Santa decided that Rudolph is his favorite due to the foggy weather. "Then how the reindeer loved him" sure. Maybe they were forced to? I mean, do you know the other reindeer names?

Also, these lyrics: "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer had a very shiny nose."
Well, it would be awfully ironic if he didn't.

6. Santa Claus Is Coming To Town – Perry Como

Besides the creepy notion of Santa Claus watching you at all times, why have the best parts of the song been cut out from the commercial version?

Although it was originally sung by Tom Stacks, the Perry Como version has all the original lyrics. That makes the song infinitely better. 

7. Jingle Bell Rock – Bobby Helms

So, we might've grown tired of Jingle Bell Rock because of the iconic 2004 film "Mean Girls." But trust me, if you can do the dance – slapping your thighs and all–- you should listen to this as much as you want. 

If you don't dance, it's really not worth it.

8. Frosty the Snowman – Gene Autry

Ah, the song to follow the success of Rudolph... 

Can we talk about the essence of this song? The fact that this child's friend will die when the snow begins to melt? 

9. Laylet Eid – Fairouz

All I want from Arab Christmas songs is a song that isn't  a direct translation of Jingle Bells, tune and all. 

Fairouz's voice could've been used for something so much more than this, even if it's one of the most famous Arabic Christmas songs. 

These songs are definitely overplayed and covered by other artists too often. But what can I say? 

If I were to choose between these songs and the new ones ... I choose these old classics every single time!
