A writer for The Washington Post, well-respected columnist Alexandra Petri, ranked Christmas songs from best to worst the other day. A smooth 100 songs altogether.
The last one on the list?
Little Drummer Boy, at 100.
We can only imagine she was confused and got the list upside down or a copy editor flipped it. Because that’s the best Christmas song on the airwaves. Especially Bob Seger’s version.
Little Drummer Boy at the bottom, while grandma-gets-runned-over-by-a- reindeer is No. 21?
That’s just crazy talk.
