    Ever wonder about those Christmas songs you hear all the time out at malls, in stores, and on the radio?  Here's a bit about the top five “classic” (over-played?) songs you'll hear this season.1. Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree2. Feliz Navidad3. Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer4. It’s The Most Wonderful Time of the Year5. The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire)http://www.mentalfloss.com/blogs/archives/111430

    A burgeoning pet peeve of mine is hearing rock/pop/dance versions of Christmas carols.

    Only acceptable ones are Celine Dion, Whitney Houston, and Carrie Underwood.

    I say if a pop version is an original song, it's permissible (though not necessarily good). Song like that Mariah Carey song annoy me, but that Wham! song has now become a modern classic.
