If you love “The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire),” you’d be bummed to know that Chris Janson‘s picked it as his least favorite holiday track.
When asked by CMT in a recent video interview, Chris noted that it’s “a hard one to say,” before naming the ol’ “Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire.”
“I just think it’s weird. It sounds weird,” Chris shares. “I don’t like chestnuts. I think it’s bizarre.”
“To me, it’s always just been like, ‘God, can we skip it? This is so boring,'” the “Buy Me a Boat” singer adds.
But when asked to pick his favorite, Chris swiftly names Alabama‘s “Christmas in Dixie,” which he rerecorded with the group’s Randy Owen and Teddy Gentry.
“Even if I hadn’t sang it, [‘Christmas in Dixie’ is] still my favorite,” Chris says.
