It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas … Choirs will be singing "Silent Night" … Christmas carols by candlelight … Chestnuts roasting on an open fire … Jack Frost nipping at your nose … Yuletide carols being sung by a choir … and folks dressed up like Eskimos … Now the goose is on the table … And the pudding made of fig … and the blue and silver candles … that would just have matched the hair in Grandma’s wig!

Yes, 'twas the Night before Christmas ... and 'twas time for a special Christmas Eve edition of Golden Oldies Top 40. I’m Santa Ceejay, so put out your milk and cookies, ‘cause I’ve got a special present for you under the tree this Christmas. So let’s get started with this week’s show.

Last week, Gene Pitney made it 3 weeks at the top with Town Without Pity? And Lesley Gore notched her 3rd top 2 hit with Judy’s Turn to Cry. Will Judy take a turn at #1? We’ll find out later in the countdown.

The 3 oldest songs on last week’s chart all drop out this week:

Bo Diddley by Bo Diddley ends its run at 15 weeks, topping off at #13.

Spanish Harlem says adios after 18 semanas, making it all the way to numero uno.

And Hitch Hike by Marvin Gaye has to thumb it after 16 weeks and a #9 showing.

And in Santa’s Christmas bag tonight are 3 new Christmas songs entering the chart this week:

Gene Autry debuts with 1 of 2 holiday hits in our countdown, at #40, Frosty the Snowman.

Nat King Cole is in the countdown this week with 3 songs; his newest is at #38, his holiday classic: The Christmas Song.

And the highest debut of the week, at #37, is Jimmy Boyd’s I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus. Ho-ho-ho!

Let’s take a peek at #31 through #40:

TW 31 LW 31 (9) DUKE OF EARL GENE CHANDLER

Only one song moves up double digits this week … and it’s the by first rodent act in our countdown – the Chipmunks climb 10 branches this week from #35 to #25 with their eponymously-named The Chipmunk Song. Also shining in this portion of the countdown is another animal-themed Christmas song, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, by Gene Autry, up 5 from #32 to #27. Here are #21 through #30:
