O Holy Night

The Fa-la-la Brouhaha is complete, and "O Holy Night" is the clear champion. There were a couple of close calls on its way to the top, but it reigns triumphant as this year's favorite Christmas song.

Thank you to all who voted. Maybe we'll do another bracket-y type competition with sometime this year. 80s music, anyone?

Enjoy Celtic Women singing "O Holy Night" and Merry Christmas!

Fa-la-la Brouhaha FINAL FOUR

COVENTRY CAROL vs. MARY'S BOY CHILD

Both coming from behind in surprising underdog finishes, this match-up features an ancient carol up against a modern calypso classic.







O HOLY NIGHT vs. YOU'RE A MEAN ONE, MR. GRINCH

Easy favorites in both the Holidaze and Kids Kristmas categories, these two songs are so completely different, it might be hard to choose. Then again, it might not.

HEY PARENTS: I don't recommend sharing the Alice Cooper version of "Santa Claus is Comin' to Town" with your kids. It will probably give them nightmares.
