Is the next special going to be Christmas Songs?

I think not, unless everyone just can't stand not doing them. We've done them a couple of times, as well as holiday movie themes in SF Choice.

Maybe party songs (as in holiday/new years parties?). You know, "get your rear up and dance" songs? But maybe we'll just do something totally unrelated to the holidays at all.

sorry if this is the wrong thread but... I had a thought. (ouch)

Why not a sort of honorable mention Christmas TT (alongside the regular) for the Christmas songs that have been nominated so far but not made the list? Sort of like the Ultimate Tens, only Christmas.

Just a thought.
