The eight crazy nights has come to an end.

It's the Eighth night of Hanukkah.



You've probably run out of gifts at this point, wrap your family's fresh laundry as the gift that shows you've done the laundry. At this point, look up a local oil recycler - it will do better for everyone as a biofuel.

And here, I promise, is the last set of songs celebrating Hanukkah -

Hanukkah With Veronica Monica -




Hanukkah in Santa Monica Michael Feinstein -




Eight Candles Dave Koz -




In The Market For A Miracle A Christmas Story -



(side note - this, by the way, is how you steal a show and probably win an Emmy.)


The Dreydl Song The Klezmer Conservatory Band -




Hanukkah Hymns



Hey, somebody has to clean up all of that wax on the break front. And somebody's got to call the guys who pick up used cooking oil for bio-fuel.


If you cannot get rid of the family skeleton, you may as well make it dance (part 2)



Happy families are all alike ... even kids abused by their domineering father - (the Motown edition)

Today's Christmas countdown - A Jackson Five Christmas


Up On The House Top -



The first Christmas song to mention Santa Claus was Benjamin Hanby's Up On The Housetop. Written in 1864, Hanby was inspired Clement Moore's 1823 poem A Visit from Saint Nicholas.


Someday At Christmas -



This was written by Motown songwriters Ron Miller and Bryan Wells, the team that also wrote Stevie Wonder's songs A Place in the Sun and Yester-me, Yester-you, Yesterday.


I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus -



Boston church leaders tried to have the song I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus banned in the 1950s because they thought it “promoted physical intimacy.” Singer Jimmy Boyd had to fly to Boston and explain to them why it wasn’t obscene.


Santa Claus Is Coming to Town -



Santa Claus Is Coming to Town actually has a truly depressing back-story: songwriter James "Haven" Gillespie was broke, jobless, and his brother had just died when he was asked to write a Christmas song. He was originally too overcome with grief, but eventually found inspiration in his brother’s death and the Christmas memories they had together.


Little Christmas Tree -
