The 2023 Christmas Song Bracket is Coming Soon....

Image
Greetings all, We are once again ready to take up the torch of Holiday Music Democracy.  The decorations are in the stores.  The sale emails are in your inbox.  The music is on the radio.  It is time once again for the Christmas Song Bracket Tournament, where YOU the people decide once and for all time   until next year, what is truly the greatest Christmas song. This will be the third installment.  A quick look at the short history of December Madness: 2020 - Champion: "Sleigh Ride" 2021 - Tournament cancelled due to cancer                (FU cancer, you suck!) 2022 - Champion: "Carol of the Bells" As a refresher, here's how it works: I n the coming days we will post a link to a Google Form with all the first round matchups.  Simply select your choice in each head-to-head.  Use whatever criteria is most important to you - best lyrics, best music, best vibes, best time signature (where my 6/8 peeps at?), best potential for a gratuitous Picardy third, nostalgia,

Jaunty triumphs over mellow in a 6/8 showdown.  Greensleeves takes out the green grump.   Imagine being so confident as a songwriter that you fire out a new holiday tune and have the audacity to call it " The Christmas Song."  Come at me, all you OSU weirdos.   But still, better than thinking it's a good idea to play drums around a newborn.   There goes San

Round 1 is now open!

Please click the link below to vote!  And as always, please share with others who might enjoy the process.  https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScB6MXQsKI8qi3Cp6wodI9t42hsCIho02JH7afYvgLzT40wMQ/viewform?usp=sf_link FYI - the matchups were assigned randomly by number draw.  This is not a "seeded" bracket.  This leads to some killer first-round matchups.  It also allows for more variation year-to-year, otherwise we would likely have the same Final Four over and over.
