"Merry Christmas 2007"

Each year on my radio show, on December 25th, I have done something special for YOU the loyal, valued, and much appreciated MuscleHead! It has ranged from inviting live musicians into the studio, to face to face chats with deeply wise people about the lessons or meaning of Christmas. 

This year I'm turning the expectations up a notch and I'm personally wanting to give you something no one else can.

Digging back into my music radio days I have been given special permission to clear my show for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day and bring to you the THE GREATEST CHRISTMAS COLLECTION OF ALL TIME. This list of songs will be unique in both its variety of style and the time periods from which it is gathered. And this is where we are asking for your help.

My producers and I will have to do some serious hunting for the exact cuts and artists that you suggest. Obviously the more who request the same songs the stronger the likelihood that your song makes the final cut - so the more people you tell about this and get to reply the better the lists will be. From right now we have roughly four weeks to prepare the list, secure the music, and bring you the most complete Christmas treat ever. But we can't do it without your help.

Here's what we are asking you to do: PLEASE E-mail us by clicking on this link. In the body of the e-mail simply put your top three all-time favorite Christmas songs followed by the artists who performed your favorite version.

We will likely use between 60-80 songs for the final list so please make sure to put them in the order of which you prefer. A sample might look like this:

1. O Holy Night - Josh Grobin
2. Little Drummer Boy - David Bowie
3. Tender Tennessee Christmas - Amy Grant

Enter as many times as you like and get as many friends as possible to vote your songs up the list.

On Christmas Eve and Day we will be launching the ALL-TIME efforts at 2pm EST. So if your holiday celebration needs a couple of hours of great Christmas music either day feel free to cue us up on the computer or radio. (PodCASTS of the shows will be available for roughly seven days following.)

So get thinking, and get voting - the ballot box is now open!
