Deep down, it's about giving, not receiving. (well, in theory, anyway)

Tonight is the first night of Hanukkah -

You add the candles from right to left but light them left to right.

So, let the serious eating commence.




Original Hanukkah Song Adam Sandler -




On Hanukkah - a Stevie Wonder holiday mash-up   Shir Soul-

I Have a Little Dreidel    The Maccabeats -




Hanukkah, Oh Hanukkah   Barenaked Ladies -




Please pace yourself - Eight days is a long time. And kids, know when a simple game becomes an addiction - please no actual gambling while playing with your dreidels.

Our second holiday theme today is one of our favorite holiday games, "Guess the theme?"


Holly Jolly Christmas -



This was written by songwriter Johnny Marks, who had already written the Christmas classic Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer, a song that proved so popular the stop-motion animators at Rankin-Bass created a half-hour TV special to expand on the song.


It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year -



This tune is a collaboration by composer George Wyle (known for writing the Gilligan's Island theme) and his regular partner Eddie Pola. It was written specifically for The Andy Williams Christmas Album and the crooner performed it on his popular variety show, The Andy Williams Show.


Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree



This Christmas classic was also written by Johnny Marks. The song was recorded by Brenda Lee in 1958 when she was just 13 years old, but didn’t become popular until 1960 after some of Lee’s other work became popular.


Santa Baby



This song was written by Joan Javits and Philip Springer who began working on the song together in 1953. Along with I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus, this was one of the first Christmas novelty songs. Christmas songs written at the time tended to be nostalgic looks at the holiday or kid's songs, but this one took a different approach, with Kitt singing about how she's been good all year and expects some very expensive gifts to appear, including a fur coat, a new coat and even a yacht.


(There's No Place Like) Home for the Holidays -



This popular Christmas tune was written by Perry Como's frequent accompanist Robert Allen and lyricist Al Stillman, who teamed up to write several hits of the era for Como, The Four Lads (Moments To Remember) and Johnny Mathis (Chances Are).
