Even the guest get a choice

We have a surprise guest programmer with her favorite Christmas jingles (it doesn't involve nepotism - it's a real guest from a sleepover. Decorating the house is a big deal here, we have extra people come over)

Christmas, (Baby Please Come Home)  U2 -



This was used in the movies Gremlins, Goodfellas, Bad Santa,Christmas with the Kranks, and The Perks of Being a Wallflower.


Christmas Wrapping  The Waitresses -



The title does not appear in the lyrics, which made it difficult to request on radio stations. Listeners would often describe the song or sing parts of it to identify it for the DJ.


Santa Claus is Coming To Town  Bruce Springsteen -



This was written in 1932 by Haven Gillespie and J. Fred Coots. They had trouble convincing anyone to produce it because it was seen as a kids' song, which would have been very hard to sell. The big break came when Eddie Cantor sang it on his radio show in 1934, and the song became an instant hit.

Felix Navidad  Jose Feliciano -



The song is one of the most downloaded and aired Christmas songs in the USA, and features in the performance rights organization ASCAP's December 2014 list of the top 30 most performed holiday songs of all time, coming in at #21.


Snoopy's Christmas  Royal Guardsmen -



The Royal Guardsmen were a six-piece from Ocala, Florida, signed to Laurie Records.
