Here's my list of the Top Ten Worst Mall Music Christmas songs:

10. "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas"
9. "Jingle Bell Rock"
8. "White Christmas"
7. "Chestnuts Roasting"
6. "Silver Bells"
5. "Walkin' in a Winter Wonderland"
4. "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree"
3. "Sleigh Ride"
2. "Santa Claus is Coming to Town"

And the #1, all time worst, most irritating, teeth-on-edge mall music Christmas song is:

"JINGLE BELLS" performed "jazz style"

Just admit it, you don't like standards.
White Christmas. #1 selling ever
Silver Bells: #2 selling.
Sleigh Ride. I can do without most on your list, but, this one is almost impossible to dislike.
Let me guess, your favorite is the Nutcracker.

The song I hate to hear more than almost any other. The song that is on almost all "Christmas Hit" albums. Taadaa:
Santa Baby.

OTOH, I love Chuck Berry's "Run, Run, Rudolph." It's just waiting for a great guitarist to cover it. Keith Richards' version isn't bad, but he was spent by the time he recorded it.

Any song played by Kenny G or anyone who sounds like Kenny G sucks.

Please, please, never ever call that crap that Kenny G plays "jazz".
