Voting is Closed! On with the results…
... And welcome to our Humble Little Party:
The Friday Results Meetup and Group Chat! Grab a beverage and a snack. We’re live for the next hour,… or until whenever. So hang with us and tell us what’s up, and how your favorites did in the poll. OK, kids: Chat on!
(Remember that you have to login or register to to see the chat…)

Thanks so much for such creative nominations, and for joining in the fun! We’ll see you Friday night!
And now, a message from the tnocs.com Full Disclosure and Transparency Desk:
It was not your imagination. The first two rounds were super easy.
Well, data collection not withstanding… we were nominating songs that almost everyone knew.
The only hard part was choosing between so many favorites. But this round will be a bit more challenging. The category is “Christmas Songs That You Love That Aren’t Well-Known, But You Think They Should Be.” (I know, that doesn’t really flow, but you get the idea.)
Fixed it for you, Love!
Nominating the songs will be easy enough. I suspect that most of us have one or two of these among our favorites.
The challenge, (but it will be a fun one) is listening to everyone else’s nominations so that we can vote fairly. Hopefully, we will all add a few new songs to our regular Christmas rotation.

Wow! What a Busy First-Round Week!
SO many great suggestions, and some pretty spirited competition in Round 1 of the Great Christmas Song Bake-Off!
Oh, wait, sorry.
Technically, there are no baked goods involved.
No – really, it’s fine.
If anyone needs me, I’ll be at the parking garage vending machine, trying to decide between the month-old Fritos, or a questionable-looking pack of Twizzlers.
Sorry, Gary. Maybe if someone wants to send some cookies…
Sweet treats aside, it’s time for Round 2!
The category this time is Christmas songs by more contemporary singers. Yes, we can go back to the 70’s and 80’s, but we’re moving away from the crooners to the rockers and beyond. They can be originals or covers, and the same song can be nominated by more than one performer.
For this round let’s stick with fairly well known songs and singers. ** Hang on to those obscure songs that you love for next week.**
The format will be the same as last week, a few days for nominations, then a few days for voting. Final results will be revealed on Friday!
My personal nominations are:
Happy Xmas (War Is Over)
– John Lennon and Yoko Ono
and The Plastic Ono Band
with the Harlem Community Choir
Father Christmas
– The Kinks
Some Housekeeping:
The following were nominated last week, but held over for this category:
- Wonderful Christmastime – Paul McCartney
- All I Want For Christmas Is You – Mariah Carey
- Merry Christmas (I Don’t Want To Fight Tonight) – The Ramones
- Christmas In Hollis – Run-D.M.C.
Defend and tout your selections in the comments below!
And don’t forget:
We’ll have a little “Reveal Party”
on Saturday Night, December 7!
OK, gang: click away!
