So when this petered down and out months ago, I thought I would try continuing this when the holidays rolled around again. That time is now.
I saved the entire bracket in a text file, so I'll be picking up where we left off. Recap: 144 songs began the tournament, 9 have already moved on to round 2, we are currently in a tight match right now.
The votes from months ago WILL hold, so currently it's a 2-2-1 vote. The first song to 4 votes wins, or if otherwise no song gets to 4, the first song that got to 3 votes will be the winner of the match.
The 5 people who voted in this match cannot vote again in this match, but they can change their vote just in case they want to.
Anyway, here's the current match and HAPPY HOLIDAY SEASON!
"Feliz Navidad" - José Feliciano
VERSUS
"Last Christmas" - Wham!
VERSUS
"Twelve Days Of Christmas" - Alan Sherman

Also, one more thing, I will be opening the door (slightly) for nominations, but only for any holiday songs that were released in the past year. Anyone can nominate any holiday song for the past 12 months and they will be a part of this tournament in some way.

The SOL gang.
Bruce'll probably win, but I hear that song SO DAMN MUCH, especially on Jersey radio.
I do hope Clarence has his new sax, wherever he is, though :-(

Anyone can nominate any holiday song for the past 12 months and they will be a part of this tournament in some way. I had ones that predate the last year, was going to as promised try and get Melissa Etheridge in there. Maybe the Fruity Pebbles jingle, unless someone did that. Christmas Shoes just so I can see a curb stomp fight ;-)

It's a Festivus miracle!) The vote is 2-2-0 in favor of Bruce & the Mystery Science Theater trio. Next vote wins. (I'm changing the rules to first to 3 votes wins from now on, btw.)

This is a tough one. One of two very lovely, very soulful Bobbie songs. Then you've got the FREAKING GREMLINS OPENING THEME. DMC is good too, I remember the Beavis and Butt-head riff of the video.
But...as it's one of the songs I genuinely get excited about hearing because of the cinematic connection, I have to go with the Gremlins here. Darlene it is.
Hope the other Bobbie song I picked has less stiff competition.

So is this like a wrestling match where if no one steps up in a count of ten, Darlene wins by forfeit?

While I wait (and wait and wait) for the voting to finish, can I say that Ana Gasteyer's "Sugar and Booze" is a pretty good holiday album? If there's a 2021 edition, I will definitely add some of her songs here.
Oh heck, this same tournament will be continuing then.
