I'm not sure where
@Glüc da Dhi S.H. went, but if we don't start the process for the Christmas category of the TMT20 special edition soon, it will be January before we finish. Assuming no one objects, I'm going to open the nominations myself.
Francesca Battistelli - Marshmellow World
Trans-Siberian Orchestra - Christmas Eve / Sarajevo
Mariah Carey - All I Want For Christmas Is You
Tim Minchin - White wine in the sun
The Beatles - Christmas time (is here again)
Statler and Waldorf - Marley & Marley
(Starting 1:25)
I think it's about time that people be allowed to start nominating one more song every 24 hours
THERE'S A DEMON IN MY BELLY AND A GREMLIN IN MY BRAIN
THERE'S SOMEONE IN MY CHIMNEY HOLE
AND SATAN IS HIS NAME
Spinal Tap - Christmas With The Devil
Can I do one more immediately?
Kate Bush - December Will Be Magic Again
Not sure if this actually qualifies, but I'll give it a go.
Peter Auty - Walking in the air
One more final.
Toyah, I Believe in Father Christmas (originally sung by Greg Lake) https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=10154483317143677
As long as the nomination isn't closed (I think?), here's one more which finally gets to the crux of the topic.
Big Star - Jesus Christ
Beatallica - Happy Christmas (War Is Over)

This thread kind of died, so I'll go all in. This could just as well have been posted as a comedy song, but anyway. It was written and recorded as a parody of sentimental christmas song sung in a way that particular religious singers would use. It doesn't translate well, but if we're ever going to be done with this thing, something has to be posted 😁 The video includes the lyrics, the google translate is surprisingly good on this one.
Rolf Just Nilsen - Julekveld i skogen
Another possible comedy song nomination:
DMX - Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer
Hillsong Worship - We Have a Savior
This is the most epic thing in the history of epicness
"Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer" set to the tune of Black Sabbath's "Paranoid"

Lindsey Stirling - O Come, O Come Emmanuel
Six spots left if I counted correctly
Not sure if there'll be much more progress in this thread 🙂 We're at 19.
Well, we're on the 6th Day of Christmas and perhaps this can be the field and we can vote for a few days and have the results at Epiphany?
If possible, I would add these
and
Mannheim Steamroller - Deck the Halls
One spot left.
Gluc has given me the go-ahead to start running the voting on the other categories, so I probably will later in January when I get less busy with work (and election prep).
Just to be done with it.
Slade - Merry xmas everybody
We're picking up the music stuff again after the important voting is done, or something? The Christmas stuff isn't really all that relevant anymore (unless you're *really* into it), but the rest would be nice to get back to at some point.
I talked to Glüc a little while ago and said I could take over running it. January has been pretty busy with various things but I will get this restarted soon.
