🎄 Top 10 Christmas Songs We’re All Secretly Sick Of🎄🙃
It’s that magical time of year when the same 10 songs follow us everywhere, the supermarket, the car, the office, even our dreams.

🎶Mariah Carey – “All I Want for Christmas Is You”
She defrosts earlier each year, I'm sure of it.

🎶Wham! – “Last Christmas”
Still recovering from last Christmas, thanks.

🎶Michael Bublé – “It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas”
Bublé emerges from hibernation yet again.

🎶Bobby Helms – “Jingle Bell Rock”
Guaranteed to get stuck in your head until Easter.

🎶Brenda Lee – “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree”
Rockin’ around… and around… and around…

🎶Band Aid – “Do They Know It’s Christmas?”
Yes. Yes, they do. We all do.

🎶Paul McCartney – “Wonderful Christmastime”
The “ding‑dong” that haunts December.

🎶José Feliciano – “Feliz Navidad”
Feliz Navi– NO STOP I CAN'T HEAR IT AGAIN.

🎶Dean Martin – “Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!”
Meanwhile the weather forecast: 27°C and sunny.

🎶Andy Williams – “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year”
Wonderful for him. For us? Debatable.

✨ Tag someone who pretends they still love all of these.🎄🎄
