And now, our Forgotten Hits Head Elf, Chuck Buell, answers another inquisitive Christmas Letter.
He writes ...
Yes, Virginia. There IS a real “Santa Claus CRUISER!”
This particular Santa Cruiser was actually spotted in Santa Claus, Indiana!
"He's making a list,
And checking it twice;
Gonna find out who's naughty or nice."
"He sees you when you're sleeping,
He knows when you're awake!"
So, you really better watch out!
"He’ll know if you’ve been bad or good,
Merry Christmas, Virginia.So be good for goodness sake!"

I can't believe The Drifters' version of "White Christmas" didn't make the list!
That's just wrong!!!
And here's a clip from SNL's 2013 Christmas show ...
Kicking off at 8 am (central) this morning on Me-TV-FM is their annual countdown of the Top 100 Greatest Christmas Hits of All Time. Hosted by Wink Martindale and put together by our FH Buddy Gary Theroux, it'll run straight thru all of Christmas Day.
And then don't forget that beginning at noon (eastern) on the day AFTER Christmas, Rewound Radio begins their week-long salute to the greatest songs of all time ... as voted on by YOU, their listeners. This, too, is an annual event (that we look forward to each and every year!)
