I would like to renominate my original pick, which was "Happy XMas (War Is Over)" by John Lennon. The Grinch :) told me it was disqualified because it made the last top ten. But, since this is a "special" top ten the nomination will count.

thanks for explaining it once more, now I don't have to do it :grin:

The same rules apply of course to "Last Christmas" by Wham! :)

Hey, Shawna, why don´t you let me nominate a third song? ;)

in case I'm allowed to answer for Shawna... ;)

it would have been a possibility, but since the voting starts soon, I think that itS' a bit late noe for that :P

of course you're still welcome to change your nominations, if you wish :)

Yes, and Sarah covered it quite well. Great album BTW...Wintersong.

I really don't think of River as a Christmas song. It's just a sad song about lost love that takes place during Christmas. Great song so i included it.

If you get the chance to hear Kenny Lattimore's version jump at it. Awesome!

That's interesting . In Japan , an unmarried girl over 25 is called " Christmas cake " ( not to her face , of course ) : no good after the 25th !

Unlike traditional fruit cakes seen in the West for Xmas , the Japanese use highly decorated birthday-type cakes .

One question about Christmas Time Is Here Again....was it ever released, or recorded as an entire song? I only know the bits on the Christmas album, and thought about nominating it but decided against it because it's only parts of a song, as far as I know...
