Such an amazing response! 32 submissions! How should that many submissions be dealt with? First, I made sure everyone who submitted a song got their place in the bracket. Then, no person got more than two submissions. That got it down to 28 songs. But …

Here are all the winners of our voting over the years! 2013 O Come, O Come, Emmanuel The Benedictines of Mary, Queen of Apostles Angels We Have Heard On High Pentatonix Joy to the World Aretha Franklin Original Christmas Song Breath of Heaven, Amy Grant …

Windham Hill and Adam Sandler watch their valiant, improbable runs come to an end. Celine Dion, the plucky 15 seed with a stunning voice and a boring arrangement, takes on Take 6 in the finals. Get your votes in by 7 pm PST on Christmas …

My last minute entry, Take 6’s Hark the Herald Angels Sing, is the highest remaining seed…and it’s a 5! I can’t decide which is the biggest surprise for sure, but it’s probably Windham Hill. My seeds were hugely wrong compared to your voting. Vote fast! …

Almost a clean sweep of what-in-the-world voting. At least The Porter’s Gate got through. And at least I can watch you all cry in anguish as you decide between your beloved Muppets and Amy Grant. You can vote I guess. If you want. This is …
