Saddest Christmas song?

[trof]

For me it's a tie between "I'll be home for Christmas" and "Have yourself a merry little Christmas".
After a few drinks I'll blubber at either one.
What's yours?

1. waaaaaaaaaaa!

It's not even December yet! Can we not talk of the Christmas songs yet!?????

[camero]

2. All I want for Christmas is you

By Patsy Cline.

[Character Assassin]

3. I'l be home for Christmas, but also Fear's 'Fuck Christmas'

Used to listen to that at University in Germany when I could come home to California.

Man, it used to really hit home.

Now I just listen to the Fear song.

[The Lone Liberal]

4. I’ll be home for Christmas.

Taken within the time that it was popular it is a sad song. I have always felt the loneliness of the young American boy listening to that song in the cold, wet WWII encampments of Europe. How sad and lonely those words must have seemed to them.


I'll be home for Christmas
You can plan on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents on the tree

Christmas Eve will find me
Where the lovelight gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams

I'll be home for Christmas
You can plan on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents on the tree

Christmas Eve will find me
Where the lovelight gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams

5. "So This Is Christmas" by Lennon, coz it's Lennon

And anything sung by Lennon makes me sad.

[arwalden]

6. "Merry Christmas, Darling" --- Karen Carpenter

A wonderful song. A fantastic voice.

[pistoff democrat]

7. I swear, simply at reading your title,

I immediately thought of "I'll Be Home For Christmas."

I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
If only in my dreams

12. gets ya, doesn't it?

[OldSoldier]

9. Another vote for "I'll Be Home for Christmas"

Unfortunately, it's one of the Muzak programmer's favorites.

Which means that anyone who works in a place that subscribes to Muzak gets to hear that song approximately once per hour.

[Rowdyboy]

10. Gotta at least give honorable mention to Elvis...

"Blue Christmas"

[Booberdawg]

16. Oh stop that!

[grannylib]

17. Those are tear-jerkers, as is "2,000 Miles" sung by Chrissie Hynde...

and for some reason, I always weep during "Silent Night" at the candlelight service...

[oneighty]

18. Rudolph The Red Nose Raindeer

Is enough to make anybody cry, followed closely by "Rocking Around the Christmas Tree.

always makes me teary eyed...

Okay, its not a Christmas song, but still...

[GoddessOfGuinness]

22. When I played fiddle for "Best Little Whorehouse"...

that tune made me teary-eyed too.
