I SAW MOMMY KISSING SANTA CLAUS by the Ronettes



LITTLE SAINT NICK by the Beach Boys

HERE COMES SANTA CLAUS by Maria Carey

Good Morning All :)



Glad you like the festive names, Simon. I agree about the radio, it does make things that extra bit special, all year round for me, but especially at Christmas. Keep up the good work!



Oldie suggestions...

#11 #12 SNAP!! Posted at the same time too.



;o)

Good morning everyone.



May I request a little-heard one, please:



FATHER CHRISTMAS by THE KINKS



Be back later.

Good Morning Each! here you all are. i was still posting on yesterdays bloig. As i was after a bit of advise, I'll C&P from there to here...



I have become giddy with excitement at the prospect of todays blog party. I'm like a kid in a sweet shop, which in my case, is probably too accurate. Anyway, I have been giving some thought to what drinkies I should bring with me. Having perused the wine shelves in my shop, I like the looks of the Fleurie, always a nice drop. There is also a rather fine Nuits Saint Georges, which would make a fine accompaniment to a nice ripe brie, which I also may bring. Having said that, I haven't yet finished my perusal, and there are one or two other places to look.





Rightio, I've also been upstairs to the flat, and gone through a few cupboards. I've settled on a bottle of 1974 Pomagne. I think that was a good year for Pomagne. Also, I have found three quarters of a bottle of Scotsmac, and if I give the top a bit of a wipe, I'm sure it'll be fine. Additionally, there is a quarter bottle of Cypriot Whisky (Champion, by name), which comes in its own leatherette pouch. As for beer, I have a Party Seven of Watneys Red Barrel, and some cans of Long Life. (Specially brewed for the can). Will this do? If pushed, I could add Double Diamond to the mix, but hey, I don't want to appear to be stealing the show.





Any feedback?



Back in a mo, with choons.

Morning all festive bloggers and team



HAVE YOURSELF A MERRY LITTLE CHRISTMAS - Judy Garland



THAT'LL BE CHRISTMAS - Thea Gillmore

Mornin folks,



FATHER CHRISTMAS DO NOT TOUCH ME - THE GOODIES



That's a baaaaad Santa song :o)

Good Morning again Simon and Poppeteers



'Tis Sherry Trifle Shona here but on a work's pc and in a panic about changing my moniker - but it will be changed back for the party at 5.05pm



Something a bit different perhaps:



The Santa Claus Boogie - The Tractors



Santa Claus is Coming To Town - The Judds or Glen Campbell or Bing Crosby



Here Comes Santa Claus - Bing Crosby



Santa's Comin' in a Whirlybird - Gene Autry



'Cause I'm a country girl at heart really.



Back later



Sherry Trifle Shona X

Ooh How did that happen? My name has changed after all. The PC wouldn't let me sign in with it though. Ah well, technology is a wonderful thing after all.

POSTED IN YESTERDAY'S BLOG:

Hello early birds!



I, too, am shopping from 9 am. Mother is picking me up - a real joy because 9 weeks ago I dare not even think about Christmas because she was so poorly.



Take care on those roads Fairy OTTOTT and Mince Pie Muncher ..

.. and Mistletoe Mo - lovely to have you back on 'our' side x



I'll bring the blog party *Tree *and the *Snowman* in ... when I return at lunchtime.



Was wondering what to bring munchie-wise. Whilst searching for inspiration, I found a tin of chunks and some spare cheddar which gave me an idea! So I'll buy some grapefruit as a base and rummage around for some cocktail sticks - it all screams Cheese and Pineapple Hedgehog - so that's that sorted. Phew.

;^)



*disappointed that TSE hasn't found any Babycham or CherryB*



S'y'all later





I BELIEVE IN FATHER CHRISTMAS - GREG LAKE



WALKING IN THE AIR - ALED JONES .

.. they're flying to Lapland to visit Father Christmas ... and I haven't heard it on the radio this Christmas yet ...







.•*¨*•♪*♫°☆

Good morning Simon, team and poppets all,



It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas.... although it has turned really mild here.



Some Santa choons for the party later ...



SANTA CLAUS IS COMING TO TOWN - JACKSON 5 (for a change?)



THE LITTLE BOY THAT SANTA CLAUS FORGOT - NAT KING COLE

SANTA CLAUS IS SKA ING TO TOWN - GRANVILLE WILLIAMS

Morning all,



SANTA BABY - Eartha Kitt



SANTA'S A SCOTSMAN - Scottish Quest All Stars



Merry Christmas to all the Blogpoppets!



Rx

#21 Katy, check the end of yesterday's blog. The Babycham is in the fridge. X

'Father Christmas Do Not Touch Me' by The Goodies



'Santas Beard' by The Beach Boys



'Little Saint Nick' by The Beach Boys



'Father Christmas' by The Kinks

Just read back end of yesterday's blog. Thanks for the good wishes Mo for the 1-2-1 which I'm sure will be fine.



Thanks also for ShonaLight suggestion. I did think about Shona Good Light but now I've changed my name, I'll stick with it for the party. X



Sounds like there will be plenty Pomagne anyway as I have some chilling in the fridge along with the Babycham. The Sweetheart Stout doesn't need chilled does it?

#15. Spookily, I was going to post yesterday that as well as mistletoe I was going to bring a Watney's Party Seven. Then my mind wandered as I thought of the joke about the similarity of Watney's to making love in a boat and I forgot to post!



Still, as you've got the beer covered, perhaps I'll bring some of that vintage Barley Wine along...



All of the Santa Songs I'd like have already been mentioned, so nothing to add. I was fortunate enough to get two menshes yesterday, and particularly pleased to hear the original Brinsley Shwarz version of 'Peace Love and Understanding', so unless I have a blinding flash of brilliant inspiration - which, let's face it, is unlikely - that's my suggestions done for this week.



Beautiful morning here in Windsor. What with a wasp yesterday, daffs in the wood across the road and mild sunny weather I'm beginning to wonder if I haven't slept through Christmas and woken in spring...

Ohhh how could I forget...



SANTA CLAUS IS BACK IN TOWN - ELVIS PRESLEY

Morning all - 11 minutes late posting due to badgers loose in the signal box in Leeds. #25 Mmmm Babycham - loved that and I now fancy some!



Look - just stick the whole of the Phil Spector Christmas album on and sneak off early, Simon. We won't tell Teacher!

Morning everyone



Just back from the dentist and a quick run through T*sco, so I'm late choosing and without reading through what anyone else has chosen, here's my Santa tunes!



SANTA CLAUS IS COMING TO TOWN ~ Andy Williams



I BELIEVE IN FATHER CHRISTMAS ~ Greg Lake



FATHER CHRISTMAS ~ The Kinks



SANTA BABY ~ Eartha Kitt



I SAW MUMMY KISSING SANTA CLAUS ~ The Ronettes



HERE COMES SANTA CLAUS ~ Bing Crosby



xx

I suppose



THE THRILLS - Santa Cruz



is cheating, isn't it?

I've just realised. TSE. That's me. D'oh! So, Cherry B or Babycham? I'm struggling a bit to be honest. I could fix some Snowballs for later, if I start vigorously shaking the Warninks about now. I have glacé cherries and cocktail sticks in the shape of tiny plastic swords.

Hi Simon and xmas bloggers.



Well done to all the menshes yesterday....the new names made me giggle in the car on the M42, i wasnt driving home for xmas more like driving to kickboxing!



Thank you Simon for my own mention, I really like that Wonderful world beautiful people tune. It is part of the "East is East" soundtrack set in 1971.



Oh well time to pay homage the fella in red:



1. SANTA CLAUS IS COMING TO TOWN - Bruce Springsteen

2. SANTA BABY - Madonna or Eartha Kitt

3. LITTLE SAINT NICK - Beach Boys

4. I BELIEVE IN FATHER CHRISTMAS - Greg Lake

5. I SAW MOMMY KISSING SANTA CLAUS - Ronettes

6. RED - Daniel Merryweather

7. ROUND AND ROUND - Jaki Graham and David Grant

8. SLEIGH RIDE - ?????

9. ALL AROUND THE WORLD - Lisa Stansfield

10. BAG IT UP - Geri Halliwell.



Oh well time to battle with a slow pc.



Have a nice day.



Laters



Mandy ;)

A couple more....



SLEIGH RIDE ~ Johnny Mathis



IT MUST BE SANTA ~ Bob Dylan (one of the worst Santa songs I've heard)!

#27 Shona - no thanks, I'm chilled already!

Morning all



I second, third, whatever GREG LAKE please. Aging prog-rockers deserve a play-fee at this time of year.



Think I heard Simon's tones on a BBC digital radio ad on 5 Live as I was driving in this morning. Think I'd change the wording a bit though....



"If you love radio.....please tell the BBC that you want it to be broadcast in decent bit-rates"!

Singalong with Santa! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hY85lqDvmw

TSE, I have plenty of R Whites and I started shaking my circa 1976 Warninks last night, so Snowballs are all sorted, although the plastic swords would be a must have addition!



I'm sure in a box in the loft somewhere I have some proper Babycham glasses with the little deer on and the gold rim which used to sit in my Mum's cabinet only to be used at Christmas!



Happy Days :)

#33 I have a jar of maraschino cherries I can bring :-) has anyone got the official Babycham and Cherry B glasses?

Morning All,



'I Saw Mummy Kissing Santa Claus' The Ronettes

'Santa Claus Is Coming To Town' The Crystals



Santa's journey...............



'All Over The Road' ELO



For sharing workload...............



'Lady In Red' Chris De Burgh



And for those doing the hard work........................



'Rudolph The Red-Nosed Raindeer



or



'Private Dancer' Tina Turner



or



'Donner Make My Brown Eyes Blue' Crystal Gale



or



'Ballroom Blitzen' The Sweet



Have a good day everybody

Anyone bringing any games? I have Battling Tops, Ker Plunk, Mousetrap and Crossfire...

#40 .. see #39, definitely got some proper babycham ones from back in the day :)

#33 & #39 Warninks? Reminds me a game we used to play throughout our teens: Sippers.



Just after Christmas, when our parents were out, we'd visit each others homes where we'd fill a large glass with a mixture of various left-over shorts, depending on the remains in the "cocktail cabinet" together with one small drop of advocaat which used to float around in the concoction like one of those lava lamps. With eyes closed you had to sip without swallowing the yellow globule.



Got us legless quicker than Bulmer's Woodpecker :-)

Morning all. A bright and sunny day in Cheshire for a change. Looking forward to the party and just popped some sausages on sticks in the fridge for later.



Oldies - good suggestions so will simply add my vote for:

Santa Baby - Ertha Kitt

Morning all



Late again, and probably too late for mensh-chasing. Sooo much going on.



TSE - I have a bottle of advocaat somehwere at the back of the cupboard. I think it's next to the Cinzano, if anybody would like that.



The vol-au-vents are ready to go in the oven. And I have some cheese straws too, home-made of course.



Son #3 is lending me his glitterball for the evening, if Simon would oblige by finishing off with Hi-ho Silver Lining and Merry Xmas Everyone. I suspect there are a few bloggers who will strut their stuff after a few Babychams. Paul, can you get that stepladder from the back from the back of the shop, and we can hang it from the ceiling in that empty space over there on the side, and use it as the dancefloor ->>

Back again



I can add a bottle of Limoncello and a bottle of Bombay Sapphire to the drinks stock, if that's of any use.



I decided that as it's my last day at work, I would have a Christmassy sound track; currently playing Michael Bubble, to be followed by Annie Lennox (sound low so as not to annoy anyone else!)



T-T x

Oh, just had another thunk, and maybe this would fit tonight's theme, if we're in the party mood - I'm sure Santa has a rather natty lining to his red suit.



HI (HO) HO SILVER LINING - Jeff Beck



You're everywhere and nowhere, baby,

That's where you're at,

Going down a bumpy hillside,

In your hippy hat.

Flying out across the country

And getting fat

Saying everything is groovy

When your tyres are flat

Morning all,

Festive DT team, party-mood bloggers, and the DT Dude finally getting to the end of his advent calendar!



I'm stuck at home, on me hollymedays with a sick child.....never fair, is it??

We saw Wolverhampton Panto yesterday, which was FAB - I though the Grumbleweeds were all dead, but no, alive and kicking and livin' it large in the midlands!

My friend Eloise was Snow White and was of course A M A Z I N G (said a la Craig R H-W) but Linda Lusardi made a damn good baddie too!



Santa songs from me - only the one, the only Xmas tune I can hear again and again ad infinitum -



GREG LAKE's 'I BELIEVE IN FATHER CHRISTMAS'



Memories of happy childhood Christmasses when I still got that tingly feeling on Christmas eve - more likely to be spirit-based tingling these days - speaking of which, hope to log onto attend the party tonight - Mr e is working from home (plus maybe holding a sick child's head over a sink...) so it may take some skull-duggery to get away.

We're bottling Sloe & Damson gin today, so will bring some to the party plus some twiglets and cheese & pineapple on sticks!



Laters, y'all,

In case anyone is driving I've found a few bottles of Cresta at the back of the garage. Best before date is April 1974 but I'm sure they'll be okay....



Mistletoe gathered. If I can borrow that step ladder when you've finished with it, John, I'll hang it it out of harm's way.

Morning all :-)



My Santa selection:



'2000 Miles' - The Pretenders

'Christmas In Hollis' - Run DMC



Off to buy some muslin cloth to strain the blackberry & vanilla and the apple & cinnamon vodka that's been steeping in my cupboard the last few months ready for later.....

#36 Ooh I say Santa's Sleigh Driver! After yesterday's X should that be stout sweetheart?



#42 I can bring Frustration and Fuzzy Felts



1-2-1 was fine - I even got a present.

As the blog's self appointed, unofficial H&S officer I am slightly worried about some of the drinks on offer - I mean, have you checked the use by dates...? If not, then I'm sure my Mum still has a bottle of green chartreuse that she and Dad bought on a holiday in France in about 1975 and never opened. She'd be more than happy to donate it.



#49 Suziee - I hope we're not going to get mistaken for each other, with our rather similar festive names...



;o)

I do like this song from the animated 'Father Christmas' Merry Bloomin' Christmas https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upu1TslhOHE&feature=youtube_gdata_player :-)

Good morning all. Lovely sunny day here.



I've discovered a bottle of Blue Curacao lurking in the cupboard. I'll bring it along tonight. Someone must like it!



Santa Claus is coming to town - Bruce Springsteen



JJ

We're bringing the Poppin Hoppies and Battling Tops (they aren't Mosh bands either), and the sherrrrrberrrrt dib-dabs. Anyone wanna game of Mastermind?



Final Santa selection from Ice Station Zebra aka Cutbush Grotto:



CHRISTMAS RAPPING - KURTIS BLOW



Get on it people!

#55 JJ, Blue Curacao? Hmmmmmm, with some triple sec, butterscotch schnapps and orange juice we can all have "Sex in the Shower".

#52 Shona - LOL. Actually, I'm nowhere near stout. Mind you, depending on how much of the (obviously plentiful) food and drink on offer, I may be tomorrow.



As for being a sweetheart, well, i'm too modest to comment!



I see the Cutbush Crew are bringing sweeties. Nice idea. Mint Cracknell, anyone?

#57 I am assuming that is the name of a cocktail Secret Santa and not an activity for later. Tee hee.

#39 Jingling Jilly... I You mentioned Babycham... I've got a Babycham Bambi from my Aunt's pub that she gave me when I was little and I've no idea why I still have it, but I am a bit of a hoarder and I have just taken this pic to show you it and it looks very plasticy amongst my old wooden toys on the tree!

https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7021/6553541873_ed290247cd.jpg



I have also got a bottle of Tia Maria that must be about 15 years old and it still tastes OK... just how long do liquers keep?



x

IS THAT YOU SANTY CLAUS? - Brian Setzer Orchestra - you have to get the boogie woogie christmas CD! Awesome!

#60 - My godmother owned a pub and I too have the self same Bambi! Also some toucans from a dark black and white beverage - others are available ;O)

#57 Naughty step. Now.



#58 Mint Cracknell? Didn't he used to sing with Simply Red...?



;o)

#63 Nah, you're thinking of Ginger Nuts! :o)

#63 SLH, does this mean I can't come to the party now? :O(

#65 As long as you can behave yourself between now and then...



;o)

#53 You're right, teach me to not read back....name changed now, and daughter stopped throwing up, so all is looking a bit better for my holly-days.

Santa songs should of course include



EARTHA KITTS 'SANTA BABY'



(prefer that over Kylie or Madge's versions!)

So please can I 2nd/3rd/4th whatever it's at now - esp for the line

"Come and trim my Christmas tree

With some decorations bought at Tiffany's

I really do believe in you

Lets see if you believe in me"



Everyone likes something sparkly at Christmas, don't they?

#66 SLH, promise!



♪♫♪♫ ♪♫♪♫

Deck the halls with boughs of holly,

Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Tis the season to be jolly,

Fa la la la la, la la la la.



Don we now our gay apparel,

Fa la la, la la la, la la la.

Troll the ancient Yule tide carol,

Fa la la la la, la la la la.



See the blazing Yule before us,

Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Strike the harp and join the chorus.

Fa la la la la, la la la la.



Follow me in merry measure,

Fa la la la la, la la la la.

While I tell of Yule tide treasure,

Fa la la la la, la la la la.



Fast away the old year passes,

Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Hail the new, ye lads and lasses,

Fa la la la la, la la la la.



Sing we joyous, all together,

Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Heedless of the wind and weather,

Fa la la la la, la la la la ♪♫♪♫ ♪♫♪♫

#60 liqueurs in our house only last as long as they are under lock and key...

the only alcohol that survives is the purchases bought abroad: Limoncello, Whiskey and mead liqueur (eeeugh) and Mirto de Sardegna (tastes like cough mixture) - maybe I'll bring them to the party and see if SLH can turn them into cheeky cocktails?!

Please, please, please play I BELIEVE IN SANTA CLAUS - DOLLY PARTON & KENNY ROGERS



I've been very good today, even washed the dish-drainer & wiped the top of the microwave - Christmas hysteria setting in - what would Dolly do?

Hi all, almost ready for the party. just off to a christmas market to get into the spirit for this evening



SANTA CLAUSE IS COMING TO TOWN - MANHATTAN TRANSFER



PAPA NOEL - BRENDA LEE (possible country show stopper)

#67 Thanks SLSF! Glad to hear your daughter's feeling better. Nothing worse than sick relatives at Christmas.



#69 Actually it's Secret Santa who's preparing the cocktails. If he behaves himself...



~X~

#72 yes, of course it is, Secret Santa stirring them up and you and I that'll be sampling the alchemists delights, eh?

SANTA CLAUS GOES STRAIGHT TO THE GHETTO by SNOOP DOGG

FATHER CHRISTMAS DO NOT TOUCH ME by THE GOODIES

HEY MR CHRISTMAS by SHOWADDYWADDY

JINGLE BELLS by AL GREEN

#73 Absolutely!



;o)

little st nick-beach boys



i belive in father christmas-greg lake



santa clause is comming to town-bruce springsteen





merry xmas all soon be easter

#57 ooh I say! (in Matt's voice)

#73 SLSF, I can't find a way of making anything 'cheeky' with Mirto de Sardegna. Only recipe I can find is for a blueberry cocktail but that involves ruining good beer so I'm not sure that would go down too well.



However, I could make an "Amalfi" with the limoncello? Still not "cheeky" but, with vodka, lime juice and lemon thyme, sounds delicious.

Morning all, from grumpyland...

Still have all that present buying palava to do, sure it can wait a little longer.

Some top tunes listed today, and amazing drinks. They could make me smile !!

Anyways, back to the plot, Uncle Simon, as the Wombles called you, any chance of a non Chrismassy song tonight or tomorrow for the 60th birthday of big sis today (sure she will not mind being reminded again tomorrow if that's only option) one of her two faves, waterloo sunset by the kinks or all or nothing by the small faces.

Be good everyone, I have to get into character for Saturdays hauntings

Afternoon everyone. Sounds like the preparations are well in hand!! I have no idea who anyone is though!! Should make the party interesting haha!

Oh I forgot... big sis is Eileen :)

*planning alert*



Please could everybody put an extra tray of ice cubes in their freezer NOW, and bring them along tonight.



There's nothing worse than a warm snowball.

#82 Oh, before the pendants say anything, technically you don't put a try of ice cubes in the freezer, you put an ice cube tray filed with water. If you already have a tray of ice cubes, empty first, put to one side in freezer, and re-fill with water.



#justcantgetthestaffthesedays



*goes off to have a lie down*

Toodled into town at lunch time to go to the hairdressers to get ready for the party.



I think my feathercut is rather fetching don't you?

#80... me neither... I've lost track of who most people are, so maybe we could have our names stuck on our foreheads!

#49 The Grumbleweeds? The last time I saw them it was at the Batley Variety two years ago and there was only Graham & Maurice left out of the original band members.



Just putting in an order in for Emva Cream.

#85 I think I might have to stick my own name on my forehead and see if I can guess who I am!!

Seasons Greetings Ter The Mayo & ALL...



Bingo Star 'ere...



A wanted ter share with ALL these 3 brilliant versions of Christmas song that yer never 'ear on the radio:



Coldplay - https://youtu.be/IW1fcNSNjT4



U2 - https://youtu.be/cLShxhQwwwA



Natalie Imbruglia - https://youtu.be/5_ZtINNAtTo



If a 'ad me own radio show.... for sure a would play these ter add interesting variety all in the add of makin gme listeners feel extra warm and ter build me ego as a most unique and INDEED nice radio presenter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Tatty bye for now!!!!!!

Has anyone made a list of who we all are and would be willing to share?

#89 Shona, does it matter? Most of us don't know who any of us are anyway! :-)

A don't now, sorry know, who a am!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



That's why a call mesen 'Bingo Star 'ere' ter remind me of who a am, even though a don't now, sorry know, who a am..... AND ter remind mesen that am 'ere.... even though often am not 'ere but am there instead!!!!!!!!!!



Talkin' of which.... a better get back ter kncoking me plaster off me walls in me new old 'ouse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Tatty bye!

#82 ice in - I've got 2 trays



#84 get you Shona - very nice with a 70s vibe :)



Names would be handy - I've completely lost track of all but the obvious.

#90 Doesn't matter at all. We all know we are in good company anyway :)



#92 I thought it would match the drinks and games that are going to be on offer at the party :)

#92 Christmas G, are we aiming for a 70s vibe? If so, the only wine I expect to see at this party is Liebfraumilch. [Do you hear that Sprout? None of that namby-pamby Nuits St Georges!]

I was just pondering, poor old Eartha Kitt, forever condemned to be an unsavoury Cockney rhyming slang...



Along with J Arthur Rank and Brahms and Liszt!



I am experimenting with a new cocktail called a Bilious Blaster! It's Gin, Ginger Ale... And Gaviscon!! :D

#94 What about Blue Nun? That's the retro wine of choice, surely.

#96 Zoe, Blue Nun IS Liebfraumilch :0)

#89. I wasn't expecting to share anyone. I didn't realise it was that kind of party...

In the 70s there were only three kinds of wine: one was bottled, Liebfraumilch, and then we had draft Australian white and draft Australian red from Yates' :-D

Can I have a hat, please?
