Darlene Love, "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" (Live on Letterman)

For one last time last week, Darlene Love brought the house down on the Late Show. Merry Christmas, everyone!

EVERY OTHER DAY IS CHRISTMAS: Leon Redbone and Dr. John, "Frosty the Snowman"

EVERY OTHER DAY IS CHRISTMAS: Darlene Love, "Christmas (Baby Please Please Come Home)" (Live on Letterman)

Didn't get a chance to post yesterday, so here goes... this is amazing. Darlene Love will return to the Late Show tonight as part of a long-running tradition. Enjoy!

EVERY OTHER DAY IS CHRISTMAS: Mariah Carey, Jimmy Fallon and The Roots, "All I Want for Christmas"

EVERY OTHER DAY IS CHRISTMAS OPEN REQUEST SUNDAY: Bing Crosby and David Bowie, "The Little Drummer Boy/Peace on Earth"

Courtesy of Brendan, here's a beautiful duet, performed for Bing Crosby's Merrie Olde Christmas special, which aired in 1977, just after his passing. Enjoy.

EVERY OTHER DAY IS CHRISTMAS: Barenaked Ladies with Sarah McLachlan, "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen/We Three Kings"

EVERY OTHER DAY IS CHRISTMAS: The Chieftains, "The Boar's Head Carol"

And A CAPPELLA WEEK Begat EVERY OTHER DAY IS CHRISTMAS: Boyz II Men, "Silent Night"

Here at Tuna Day, we're a little behind the curve when it comes to blasting the holiday tunes. The long night is over, at long last. "Every Other Day Is Christmas" returns with Philly's favorite foursome.

EVERY OTHER DAY IS CHRISTMAS! Otis Redding, "Merry Christmas, Baby"

I know we just gave some love to Otis a few days ago, but... is more Otis ever a bad thing?  I think not.  Merry Christmas to all!

EVERY OTHER DAY IS CHRISTMAS... The Killers, "Don't Shoot Me Santa"

A Very Important Holiday Public Service Announcement: Yes, children--Santa Claus is very real. And he has a gun and a shovel and is vindictive. Plus, he sorely needs to do laundry. Ho ho ho.

EVERY OTHER DAY IS CHRISTMAS... Kurtis Blow, "Christmas Rappin'"

And the grown-ups got some presents, too
A new TV and a stere-ooh

Cheers!

EVERY OTHER DAY IS CHRISTMAS... Run-DMC, "Christmas in Hollis"

A holiday classic, through and through, and a great way to start the week before Christmas!  Enjoy.

EVERY OTHER DAY IS CHRISTMAS... A Fine Frenzy, "Let It Snow"

I don't think we're getting any snow here for awhile, but they might just have some in Minneapolis, so that's good enough for me!  This is perfect for a chilly Saturday spent inside by the fire (in your home, perhaps, or in my head).  Plus, I'm pretty sure there's a tuba thrown in for good measure towards the end of song.  Enjoy!

EVERY OTHER DAY IS CHRISTMAS... Death Cab for Cutie, "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)"

EVERY OTHER DAY IS CHRISTMAS... Amy Winehouse, "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus"

Maybe it's a bit of a cop-out for the month, and hopefully it's not overkill (it's only every two days)... but after Sunday's kick-off, TD is going for the holidays every other day this month.  Here's the late, great chanteuse with a great rendition...

OPEN REQUEST SUNDAY: Jack Johnson, "Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer"

Courtesy of Maura, here's a delightful take on the old classic...


But Rudolph--he didn't go for that
He said, "I see through your silly games"
How can you look me in the face
When only yesterday you called me names?


Enjoy!
