Contest: ATH Holiday Gift Bag
It’s the giving time of year and we here at ATH would like to spread some sweet love to our readers with an end of the year/holiday contest. Two, count em two, lucky winners will receive a hand packaged and sealed gift bag from us filled with all kinds of musical goodness. Expect to receive promo CDs(yes good ones), 7″ & 12″ records from national and local artists(at least one album from our year end list), stickers, koozies, buttons, chapstick, hugs, and anything else we can scrounge up from around the office. I’d probably value each one at around $5,000. To enter, leave us a comment or hit us up on twitter with your favorite holiday song. Winners will be anounced come Monday. Don’t forget to leave a valid email address so we can get in touch with you. It’s the gift that keeps on giving the whole year.

I am going to have to go with Bon Jovi – “Baby Please Come Home For Christmas”… sounds funny, but trust me, listen to it. Keep up the awesome work!

either no doubt’s cover of “oi! to the world” or my chemical romance’s cover of (mariah carey’s) “all i want for christmas is you.”

I say this without irony or sarcasm… Maybe. But The Killers’ “A Great Big Sled.” I’m a bit confused as to how that apostrophe is supposed to be applied, however. Perhaps the Great Nathan Lankford could be of some help?

Say what you will, but Bob Dylan’s “Must Be Santa” has made its way into my holiday must-include list: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVs6X9yIM_k

Merry Christmas Emily – Cracker
The Christmas Song – The Raveonettes
Candy Cane Children – The White Stripes
Fairytale of New York – The Pogues
p.s. Beth: your apostrophe is used correctly. You could also have added another “s” on the end (Killers’s). Although it looks weird, it is grammatically correct.

I’ve gotta go with Run DMC’s ‘Christmas in Hollis’

It’s Christmas time in Hollis Queens
Mom’s cooking chicken and collard greens
Rice and stuffing, macaroni and cheese
And Santa put gifts under Christmas trees

Kinks – Father Christmas
Father Christmas, give us some money
We got no time for your silly toys
We’ll beat you up if you don’t hand it over
We want your bread so don’t make us annoyed
Give all the toys to the little rich boys
Have yourself a merry merry Christmas
Have yourself a good time
But remember the kids who got nothin’
While you’re drinkin’ down your wine

Favorite Xmas song: Definitely Bob Dylan’s “Must be Santa” off the Christmas in the Heart album.

Probably should have mentioned that for legal reasons ATH staff members or writers will not be chosen. Sorry kids… Gotta keep things fair.
Winners have been emailed. Check that shiznit

I would have to say, Vince Guaraldi’s “Christmas time is here!”
Who doesn’t get the spirit when that one comes on?!?!
