It's been a quiet year at 77 Santas. Not us--we're bringing the music in abundance. YOU are being quiet. So, here's an offer: list your top 5 Christmas songs in the comment box here and JV and I will do our best to post as many of them as we can. Yep. Bring it. You have until, say, 7pm tonight.
It's time for YOU to help US close out this 77 Santas season. We might have other surprises for you, too.
PC & JV.

I should have said that we have linked to your blog starting last year when my wife and I started talking about the "most memorable" versions of the classic x-mas pop songs. This is just a short list of them...

Nothing to add, except thanks very much for the festive and faithful holiday posts over the past years.
Like asking me my favourite single or album, it changes constantly. I've been doing an Advent Calendar of Christmas Songs for a few years now and it's sometimes like asking me to choose a favourite child.
Obviously, 'Fairytale of New York' stands atop any pile - it is a work of Art as much as a Christmas song but let's see if I can find five from the huge heap of teetering songs currently playing at Blagg Acres.
Firstly, a new one from this year 'That'll be Christmas' by Thea Gilmore. For clever pop sensibilities and nifty lyrics 'The Man in the Santa Suit' by The Fountains of Wayne. The Cocteau Twins 'Frosty the Snowman' is pretty wonderful and 'On a Quite Christmas Morn' by Mary Chapin Carpenter is beautiful but don't forget the great lost Christmas record Davitt Sigerson's 'It's a Big Country'. And.... that five already? Can't I do another five?
And anyway I can actually buy this blog so we can keep it going forevermore?
Can I suggest anything from the Christmas CD from the Glasvegas album? 'A Snowflake fell (and it felt like a kiss)' is just extraordinary as is their version of 'Silent Night'
Oh, I just love your blog. Thank you so much for providing the soundtrack for my holidays! You're the best.
You've done a fabulous job of providing the grooviest tunes ever.. the only ones I can think of that I didn't readily see here was
"Santa Claus Go Straight to the Ghetto" - James Brown
"Christmas Wrapping" - The Waitresses
"White Christmas" - Otis Redding
Have a great holiday! Becky
IF YOU EVER FIND MR. MOJO'S CHRISTMAS BY THE WISE MEN CAN YOU POST IT? THAT'S MY CHRISTMAS WISH. HAVE A GREAT NEW YEAR! TAKE IT EZ, PAT
