Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas
This one is especially depressing when you know about the original lyrics.

That Was The Worst Christmas Ever

Last Christmas
This one seems uptempo, but it's about being dumped and making your ex jealous on Christmas. Plus, it's got a closeted homosexual living a lie, so that counts.

Hard Candy Christmas
A Christmas song written from the perspective of lonely prostitutes. This one was manufactured to be one of the most depressing songs of the season.
-
Blue Christmas
Obligatory.
-
The Christmas Shoes
A Christmas song from a one-hit wonder band called NEWSONG. It's surprising that their career of performing schmaltzy, deeply upsetting Christmas songs didn't really take off.

The 10 Most Depressing Christmas Songs
Christmas is supposed to be a time of joy and celebration, but judging by a lot of the music that's been made about the holiday over the years, you would think that the true meaning of Christmas is self-soothing intoxication and deeply troubling emotional problems.

I'll just point to the Beatnik Turtle TheSongOfTheDay.com archives for Decembers past, including such wonders as “Christmas is a Vulture,” “Santa Doesn't Like You” and assorted others (including the perky “Coed Naked Drunk Christmas Shopping” where “not one of us shoplifted! At all!”)

ANOTHER LONELY CHRISTMAS - DIVINE SINNERS I would like to put forward an obscure song by an unknown Maltese band called DIVINE SINNERS. The song is called ANOTHER LONELY CHRISTMAS, written by Charles J. Attard & Frank Buhagiar. Despite the catchy tune, humorous lyrics and cheery singalong of “Come on, give me a lap dance” - the overall feeling is one of loneliness and dread. The video is hilarious, by the way!
