John's two classic Christmas songs are always on our annual Christmas favorites playlist.  "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus" is from the original epic "A Very Special Christmas" (1987) which is probably the finest collection of rock and roll talent ever put together on a Christmas album.  Consider the artists from that album (which raised millions for the Special Olympics):  John, Bruce Springsteen, Sting, Madonna, The Pretenders, Whitney Houston, The Pointer Sisters, The Eurythmics, U2, Bob Seger, Bryan Adams, Bon Jovi, Stevie Nicks, Alison Moyet, and Run D.M.C.  That album is deservedly mega-multi-platinum and will never stop selling for as long as Christmas music exists.

John's "Teddi's Song (When Christmas Comes)" is also a wonderful Christmas song and deserves way more attention than it gets.  It is a perennial part of our Christmas's and I wish it was on the radio more.  A real gem.

Merry Christmas!
