Wow! I can't believe nobody mentioned that insipid little,
"Simply having a wonderful Christmas time..." (Paul McCartney)
Makes me want to puke just thinking about it.
Also, for those who hate the "Jesusey" Christmas songs, do you know how ridiculous that sounds? Without Jesus, there is no Christmas. It's just another reason to max out your credit cards.
You know, the ubiquity and open celebration of jaded cynicism in our society really disturbs me, lately. Newsflash: It's not cool -- it's actually sad, juvenile, and incredibly unattractive.

The issue is that dogs are poor generalizers - it's not that the dog is "sneaky, greedy" etc, but that they have no intrinsic sense of morality or "rightness" and so only think something is "bad" if it has bad consequences. If it has never had bad consequences except with a human in the room, then how on earth are they to know that the rules still apply with the human out of the room? You need to train in such a way that corrections and rewards occur when the dog does not think you are present - i.e. hiding around the corner. Read here https://tr.im/crAOY
I personally owned a Labrador Retriever (read: chow hound) that could be left 6" from a hot dog in a sit-stay for half an hour and not touch it - the word was "mine" and it meant that you don't touch that, even if I am not in the room, even if whatever, you DO NOT touch that. You could leave a plate of food on the floor for hours and not only would she not touch it, she would also keep the other animals (dogs and cats) from touching it.
In all probability, these dogs studied were just not properly trained/proofed before the experiment. With "proofing" to set them up and catch them in the act to give

I like the old carols the best -- Silent Night, Hark the Herald Angels Sing, The First Noel, It Came Upon A Midnight Clear, Away in a Manger, Adeste Fidelis, etc. Some of the modern songs are okay too-- White Christmas, Silver Bells, etc. I guess I really don't have an un-favorite one.

I love all Christmas music except:
the ones you already mentioned
Grandma got run over by a reindeer
The Redneck 12 days of Christmas
anything by Alvin and the chipmunks
and that barking dogs jingle bells song.
There are too many beautiful songs to choose from to play that mess over and over.
