Today I not only had to hear our quartet do the vile "Santa Baby" a couple more times (okay, they sing it beautifully, but the words are SO low-rent), I heard some school is letting 12-year-old girls sing the raunchy thing. Yeeuch. So I must nominate it for The Worst.

My runner up is "Merry Christmas Darling" a la Karen Carpenter which despite a lovely tune is just too smarmy for words.

In the category of fine and worthy-est, I must place in nomination Robert Earl Keen's masterwork "Merry Christmas From the Family" in all its flawed glory.
