Who Am I To Disagree?

ASCAP has released its list of the "Top 25 Holiday Songs of the Decade." Where "songs" means "music written by ASCAP members," and "top" means "most performed." Which apparently means "played on the radio." (It's all a little unclear.)

Um, in any case: TIMELESS CLASSICS, GUYS.

Spoiler:
1. Winter Wonderland (Felix Bernard, Richard B. Smith / Eurythmics)

2. The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire) (Mel Tormé, Robert Wells / Nat "King" Cole)

3. Sleigh Ride (Leroy Anderson, Mitchell Parish / The Ronettes)

4. Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas (Ralph Blane, Hugh Martin / The Pretenders)

5. Santa Claus Is Coming To Town (Fred Coots, Haven Gillespie / Bruce Springsteen)

Clearly it's time for a Holiday Dance Party.
