We're starting to feel a little bit of the holiday spirit. Listener Virginia, from Inver Grove Heights, seems to be getting into the season too. Virginia wrote in saying, "This evening while my husband was looking for the scissors which our daughter had confiscated to wrap gifts the Scissor Sisters were playing which gave me the idea that there are bands out there whose name fit into the season or refer to items used in the season (ie: The Hollies, Billie Holiday, and Tapes n Tapes)."

Let's get into the holiday spirit with songs from bands/artists whose name is somehow tied to the holiday season. What songs should we play?
