More variety in holiday & anti-holiday music than you can shake a stick at can of course be heard on NeverEndingWonder Radio.

It joins our regularly irregular mix for now. On the 20th we'll flip to all holiday.

does anyone know where those poems we did that year at christmas are ?

i did that stupid version of Twas the Night Before Xmas ... thought it would be good for a laugh to see it again but i cant find it

BLUE VALENTINE is my favorite TW album.

nice !

there's still some parts that make me laugh

This one might not matter much to the US folk.

X factor (the show which replaced Pop Idol) have claimed the Christmas number one for the last four years. And last year it wasn't even an original song (it was yet another cover of Halleluhia). This year it was yet another cover...The Climb by Miley Cyrus (sung now by Joe McElderry.

Fed up of the talent competition and Simon Cowell's grasp on the Christmas Number one a campaign started. People realized that a Christmas song was unlikely to hit the top spot, although George Michael did try. Instead, just to rub it in Simon Cowell's face, the song chosen for the campaign was Killing in the Name by Rage Against The Machine.

Today, around 15 minutes ago it was announced. Rage Against the Machine won. This is truly a step forward. Now the rebellion is out there, maybe next year it can be a real Christmas song. Perhaps Wizzard's I Wish it could be Christmas Everyday which only reached number 4 all those years ago.

Here it is, the 2009 Christmas Number one single.

Mom keeps saying she's making Christmas in the house.

I've had this in my head quite a bit this week lol.

On top of the fact that I love that song, Bing Crosby was [likely, we're not 100% on this] my Great Grandad's cousin/ second cousin.

But that one always gets me in the Christmas mood.
