ROUND 6

This is a tough set and it includes my favorite Christmas song. If you vote it out, I'm definitely going to send Krampus out to hunt you down.

Let's say goodbye to the spaceman, who certainly won't want to visit us now that we so rudely eliminated him.

I have randomized the songs into ten groups of ten.

VOTE OUT FOUR AND SAVE TWO

Christmas Island - Ella Fitzgerald
Ring Those Christmas Bells - Peggy Lee
Purple Snowflakes - Marvin Gaye
When A Child Is Born - Johnny Mathis
Mary's Boy Child / Oh My Lord - Boney M
Not Tonight Santa - Girls Aloud

Holly Jolly Christmas - Burl Ives
Santa Baby - Eartha Kitt
Senor Santa Claus - Jim Reeves

Forgot to vote in the past few rounds - really disappointed that Pentatonix were knocked out.

ROUND 6 RESULTS

Did you people not read my warning about Krampus visiting you? My save was not enough to keep the perfection that is Purple Snowflakes around, but I'm definitely giving four of you a lump of coal this season. Likewise, RayRay may feel the same way about Senor Santa Claus who got tied up with Marvin Gaye in the end. Two women, Peggy Lee and Ella Fitzgerald, get the bulk of our wrath though. I don't know what poor Ella did to get a unanimous vote - personally, I like the song, but not her take on it - but she narrowly avoids finishing at the very bottom of our list.

Obviously, our farewell video goes to Marvin.

ROUND 7

In any case, this is a fairly staid set this go-around. I'll highlight RayRay's save vote from last round, which was eliminated with the final vote.

One of my all time favorite Christmas songs gone too soon. I know, it's a song that no one will ever cover as the lyrics are a big NO these days, but it's so nostalgic for me and to me it will always be a fun song bringing memories from way back. Perhaps the lyrics could be changed to make it okay again?

[cheapthrills]

ROUND 7 RESULTS

We only lose three songs this time, since we had a three-way tie for that last elimination spot. But one t hing is clear - we really aren't fans of Julie London, who manages to hog two of the those spots all for herself. We also lose Doris Day, with one of the saddest Christmas songs on this collection.

Obviously, our farewell video goes to Marvin.
