(Radio.com) Sam Smith: the Grumpy Cat of Christmas music. Despite recording a cover of "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" for release late last week, the crooner made no bones about his dislike for Christmas songs in an interview with Mix 104.1 in Boston, a CBS Radio station.

So why did he decide to do his own version of "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas"? "'I hate Christmas songs, it's true," Smith admitted but then explained why he made an exception.

"But ['Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas'] is the only song I would ever attempt to sing, because of Judy Garland singing it, and Frank Sinatra singing it. To me, it sounds more like a classic jazz standard." Read more here.
