Let It Snow

Saks 5th Ave NYC does the Holidays right.
The 50 giant snowflakes are made out of 72,000 LED bulbs that twinkle in time to a special arrangement of "Carol of the Bells" wafting onto the street over loudspeakers.
Musical window dressings? 'Tis the season!

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.
