With Thanksgiving well behind us, there's no doubt jolly jingles have started infiltrating your daily life - bursting through your radio, cheerfully playing in every store, overheard in the humming of a coworker.

Around this time of year, you'll run into two types of people: the Scrooge who finds the sound of Christmas carols comparable to nails on a chalkboard, and the person who believes the tinsel-filled tunes only enhance the spirit of the season.

After singing (and bah-humbugging) along with a few GoComics characters, we're left with some pros and cons.

Pros:

1. They brighten bleak winter days.

2. They're filled with words of wisdom.

3. A happy jingle leads to a happy jig.

4. Holiday chores are fun with a little "wrap"-music!

Cons:

1. New takes on old classics can spoil the season.

2. Sometimes, enthusiasm for Christmas carols goes a bit too far.

3. Don't let the tune fool you. Carols can be more creepy than cheery. 

Over the Hedge by T Lewis and Michael Fry

4. Talk about an earworm!
