Damage Report 2010 XMASsacre

This X-MASsacre was indisputably one of the best, ever. The first hour was so quiet it was almost scary, but the request for Steve Mauldin's "O Holy Night" instantaneously whipped listeners into a festive frenzy, honing their antlers to wicked points in order to extract the jolliest holiday DOOM! ever heard in reindeer games north *or* south of Finland.

Voting for All-Time Favorite Holiday Tune was even more fantastically popular this year than as noted in 2008 for X-MASsacre VI. Voting was even more wildly *diverse*: As in 2008, many, many single votes were cast; at 8:30 the leaders were once again in a three-way tie. In 2008, Vince Guaraldi's "Linus and Lucy" won by two votes that came in during the mandatory 10-minute sudden-death overtime. This year, Bob Rivers' "I Am Santa Claus" made its sudden appearance just shortly before 8:30, entering the race and almost immediately tieing the front-runners, just in time to make the final cut. The announcement of sudden-death brought a flurry of calls and IMs that easily pushed "I Am Santa Claus" furlongs ahead, heavy boots of lead and all.
