    I never liked the song, now I completely hate it. One of the 10 most annoying things about Christmas.

    Despise the song to be honest.
    Gets played too often and when its played in a niteclub it causes a cattle
    like stampede of women trying to get on the dance floor to sing along to it.

    Funny Christmas song story was 2 years ago at our work Christmas Party.
    It was a big formal meal with all the trimmings, and as the main courses
    were being brought out what was being softly played in the background???

    Love the song, never one to rush for the floor to sing to it, usually rushin to the bar if it means the night is almost over.
    Great song though
    Ever get the feelin' you have been cheated?

    Dont mind the song but i hate when it comes on in a pub or club as the fat smelly ****ed up idiot beside you takes his cue to put his arm around you and start swaying shouting out the words and spitting all over your face.

    Some might find it an honour to be serenaded by the writer of the song.

    Whingers.
    It's class.
    The best Christmas songs have a separate story going on.
    A la Last Christmas.
    Another classic.
    Stop whingeing.

    God help us it could have been a lot worse, remember Ronan Keating recorded a cover but due to popular outcry never released it.Great song in its time but so overplayed.Maybe we should have a best Xmas song thread instead.

    a class song but perhaps overplayed at this stage, heard it live last Christmas in the Brixton Academy, amazing.
