The lyrics may be tongue-in-cheek (and probably were even in 1953), but there is something to be said for making a particularly outlandish list, if you have a special Santa who at least WANTS you to get everything you ask for.
You'll be covered with Christmas cheer as you listen to our twelve local artists jingling their bells here.
What's the best gift you've ever gotten?
Trisha Smith: Hmm… that's a tough one. I would have to say my iPod, because I love having so much music available all the time! But that answer is going to change because the best gift is coming this year. My sister is due to have a baby on Christmas Day, so my new favorite gift ever will be my niece.
What do you want from Santa this year?
Smith: Snow!
What do you love most about the holiday season?
Smith: Pumpkin pie and Christmas lights.
Were you naughty or nice this year?
Smith: Naughty.
Why did you pick this song? What's so special about it?
Ryan Radcliff: I like the playfulness of the lyrics, and the opportunity to put a spin on a song that is usually played in a traditional jazz way.
What's your favorite Christmas memory?
Radcliff: I remember Christmas in New York when the snow was falling everywhere. I also remember receiving cool toys like Batman dolls and G.I. Joe action figures and getting gifts from relatives that I didn't really know.
