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.
-
Christmas Time Is Here
-
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.
-
Please Daddy (Don't Get Drunk this Christmas)
-
If We Make It Through December
Country musicians lead incredibly melancholy lives.
