For many Santas across the UK, Christmas carols can evoke strong emotions - from joyful enthusiasm to overwhelming annoyance. For one Santa, Paul Fessi, Eartha Kitt's sultry rendition of "Santa Baby" is a particular favorite, while Arnold Warneken AKA Green Santa prefers Band Aid's "Do They Know It's Christmas?" for its poignant message about global inequality. In contrast, Spike Jones' 1948 hit "All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth" is seen as "just so cheesy" by some.
However, not all Santas have negative feelings towards Christmas music. Cleve Freckleton AKA Rasta Claus says that he loves how children think and enjoys festive tunes like "Baby It's Cold Outside", "Winter Wonderland", and "When a Child Is Born". For Keith Leech, Jingle Bells is his go-to Christmas song because it's jolly and Christmassy. Meanwhile, Nigel Harvey AKA Santa Himself swears by Jona Lewie's "Stop the Cavalry" for its bouncy beat and heartfelt message.
Interestingly, Simon Anthony reveals that he used to find Donny Osmond's Christmas songs "particularly distressing", but acknowledges that you "grin and bear it for the love of Christmas". When asked about his favorite Christmas carols, Anthony says that he prefers Prokofiev's "Sleigh Ride" due to its association with BBC Two.
Ultimately, while some Santas may be driven mad by Christmas music, others find joy in its festive rhythms and timeless classics. Whether you're a fan of Eartha Kitt or Donny Osmond, one thing is clear: Christmas carols have the power to evoke strong emotions - for better or worse.

! There's something so magical about Christmas music that just puts me in a happy place. But at the same time, I can totally relate to those Santas who are like "meh" to some of the more cheesy tunes 
. Like, don't get me wrong, I love a good ol' fashioned Bing Crosby or Ella Fitzgerald Christmas song, but come on, let's be real, not all that jazz is our cup of hot cocoa 
️. I'm with Cleve Freckleton on this one - festive tunes are the best way to get those little ones in the holiday spirit 
!
I'm telling you, it's all about the agenda here 
. It's a distraction from the real issue: the global surveillance state and their monitoring of our festive playlists 
. I mean, have you noticed how all those Santas seem to love the same Christmas songs? Coincidence? 
I don't think so! The government is just trying to brainwash us with their festive propaganda 
. Mark my words, it's all part of a larger conspiracy... 
. I also love how festive some songs are, like "Jingle Bell Rock" - it's just so energetic and fun! But at the same time, I can imagine how cheesy some people might find certain classics, like "All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth"... maybe it's a song that's better left to the kids 
. What about you, what's your go-to Christmas jam? 
It's just too cheesy for me. And don't even get me started on Donny Osmond - what's up with that dude and his Christmas songs? 
! "Jingle Bells" just gets me in the holiday mood every time 
. Don't get me wrong, some Christmas tunes can be cheesy (Spike Jones' song is definitely one of them 
... it's like she's trying to torture herself with those awful songs! But hey, if it gets her into the holiday spirit, that's all that matters 
. But then there's my other friend who can't stand "All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth" because it's just so cheesy 
At the end of the day, Christmas music is all about the nostalgia and joy for me 
, I mean, who doesn't love "All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth" 
and people should just own up to it being a bit corny instead of hating on it 
. It's all about spreading holiday cheer and making the season special for everyone
