For me it was Sanford and Son. That show only had one Christmas episode and it was DRY from start to finish.

The only good thing about the Sanford and Son Christmas episode is when Fred sung the "Christmas Song" at the end

There were no I Dream of Jeannie Christmas Episodes...

but to answer your question, I can't think offhand of ANY Christmas episode I didn't like because I'm such a sucker for Christmas episodes

There are two Christmas episodes I know of offhand that did not hold my interest, and they were the two from Perfect Strangers. Granted, PS is one of my favorite shows, but the plots were really lame.

One had the cousins stranded in their apartment during a blizzard, and Larry lamented because it was his turn that year (1986) to hand out presents at his folks' home up in Madison, Wisconsin. He wouldn't get to hand them out again until 1995 since he is one of nine siblings. (FWIW, this year he will.) In the end the blizzard won and Larry gave up on trying to go up there. A much better plot would be the adventures the two take trying to get there, in as many ways as possible, and eventually making it there, possibly in a two-parter.

The other one was the company Christmas party at the cousins' apartment, and Sam Gorpley was making negative comments on all the gifts. Larry kicked him out, but Balki brought him back (which I thought was uncalled for).

try as i might i just couldnt get into the brady bunch christmas ep. from 69 its one of my fave shows but i didnt really like that ep. .however i did like the part where florence henderson sang in church at the end.

I didn't think there were either.

And ditto. I can't think of a bad one.
