The best and worst Christmas characters have come around once again

Emilee Chaffin, Associate Editor

Some people enjoy every aspect of this wonderful holiday season. Other people, however, cannot stand certain aspects of it.

I cannot stand the overly-crowded malls, wrapping paper and bows, or the flashing Christmas lights that do not flash in unison.

I decided, however, to complain about the people you dread seeing every holiday season--not your Aunt Ida, but these annoying people.

Leigh Ivey and I have composed a “worst list” of the most dreadful Christmas characters who appear every year.

**The Top 10 Worst Christmas Characters**

10.
ZuZu from It’s a Wonderful Life (“Every time a bell rings...blah blah blah”)
9.
Every character from The Nutcracker (All of them! Especially the rats!)
8.
Uncle Eddie from National Lampoon’s ... (Not just the Christmas one...ALL of them!)
7.
Charlie, the whiney kid from the first Santa Clause (and Neal , the stepdad, with the stupid weenie whistle!)
6.
ELVES! I HATE ELVES! (All of them! I hate the ones at the mall, at the stores, in front of Wal-Mart, all of them.)
5.
The animated Rudolph from The Island of Misfit Toys movie (How creepy is he?)
4.
Peter from the “Peter Comes Home” Foldger’s Christmas commercial
3.
Cindy Lou Who from The Grinch (not antimated)(Her voice and her hair could not be any more annoying!)
2.
Tiny Tim from A Christmas Carol
1.
Ralphie, the “You’ll shoot your eye out!” boy from that awful movie, A Christmas Story (Will someone please tell me how this movie rates an all -day marathon?)


In fear that people would think we dispise every aspect of the Christmas season, we have also compiled a list of the best Christmas characters of all time.

**The Top 10 Best Christmas Characters**

10.
Brian from Miracle on 34th Street(I hate, however, the little girl who also plays in the movie, Matilda!)

The Ghost of Christmas Past (I’m not partial, the other two just scare me!)
8.
Santa, of course!
7.
Mary from It’s a Wonderful Life
6.
Rudolph is a given!
5.
Frosty the Snowman
4.
The little girl from “The Power of Cheese” Christmas commercial
3.
The Grinch and Scrooge (I know they are awful, but you can’t have Christmas without them!)
2.
The poor kid who sticks his tongue to the flag pole in A Christmas Story (Could he be any dumber?)
1.
Aunt Bethaney from National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation
