Jordan has his wish list for his secret Santa with 9 days to spare, beating his personal best by 3 full days!

He's like a pair of these fine Vans in black, size 11...

And if there's a better version of Silver Bells than this old rollicking punk version by the Yobs, well I haven't heard it...
Ashley comes in with plenty of time to spare!

She'd also like a spaceship, Firefly Class. Perfectly reasonable, and you can probably find one cheap at the used lot on the space station at the edge of the galaxy...

However, if her secret Santa is unable (unwilling?) to travel to the outer quadrants of the galaxy where lawlessness reigns, she'd be quite happy with a sturdy, washable loveseat slipcover, such as this one from Bed, Bath and Beyond...(that's too much like infinity and beyond; she really does want that spaceship).

And here's a fantastic version of the John Lennon classic, Happy Xmas, as performed by Os Mutantes.

Eric arrives with his wish list for his secret Santa...He's had a bit of a struggle but he's figured it out.

He'd like a golf rain pullover very much like this one (so that's the one) in either black tan or orange. So get the orange, obviously. Why mess around. (Size large, by the way.)

He'd also like some black leather gloves, size large...

And he also needs to replenish his golf ball supply...his preferred brand is the Titlist ProV1...or whatever he finds in the woods.

Amy Poehler and Billy Eichner hit the streets of New York looking for carolers for sing-alongs. Priceless! 



It's Alexa's turn with her secret Santa wish list...

She'd like some Essie nail polish (topless & barefoot). Conveniently available online!

She'd also like a pair of Canvas Authentic Vans in pool green and white, size 8. Magically available online!

Aaand...she'd like an Instant Heat Ceramic Spiral Styler. Available online of course!

Rufus Wainwright stops by with a nice little original, "Spotlight On Christmas"...

Tom comes to the party with his list! And in a sudden and radical departure, he doesn't a half dozen bottles of red wine...

He's going to be reading this Christmas season...he'd like the new Jeff Shaara book, A Chain of Thunder. He'd also like the new Tom Clancy story, Command Authority.

And he'd also like this handy little Home Depot gadget that converts a 5 gallon bucket to a wet shop vac...pretty cool!

If there's anything left over, well it turns out he would like a decent cabernet...

And here's Wade Johnson and Danielle Ate the Sandwich with a sweet rendition of Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas...
Alright let's keep it rolling...Gerry is in next.

He'd like a clothes steamer, perhaps his secret Santa can round it out with a small surprise of some sort...

And let's keep it on the Pomplamoose channel cause they're just too much fun...here's an amazing original called Always in the Season...

And we continue...Ryan is up next, and he's sticking with the zombie theme because can you really be prepared enough for when the zombie apocalypse strikes? No, you can't...

He'd like the The Walking Dead Volume 19 TP: March to War comic book, as well as the The Walking Dead: Rise of the Governor Paperback.

He'd also like a nice pair of water proof/resistant winter gloves.

And finally, he'd like a Walking Dead T-shirt - but it's going to have to be a very cool T-shirt or else it won't be worn. Embrace your inner zombie and choose wisely!

Let's cheer things up with the endearing Pomplamoose and their lovely version of O Come All Ye Faithful...

Page has her wish list for her secret Santa!

She would like this Alex and Ani silver starfish charm bracelet...

She also has a need for the Access for Dummies book...because nothing says "Christmas" like Access for Dummies.

She also has a need for black knit knee socks.

And the Dropkick Murphys drop by for the holiday with their rollicking Christmas song The Season's Upon Us!

OK, I'll go next...

I want a spaceship and a unicorn, but I'd settle for a jetpack and a pony. But if my secret Santa can't do that I won't cause a fuss if I can have the book Amsterdam by Russell Shorto.

Also, given the rate at which I lose golf balls I need to replenish my supply...I like the Nike golf balls.

Also, given the rate at which I drink bourbon I need to replenish that supply too... Buffalo Trace  offers good value for good flavor.

And if I'm going to be out there golfing and drinking bourbon, I should probably have a cigar to round out my Christmas...I'm particularly fond of the AVO Robusto...

And here's alt-rockers Shonen Knife with a funky and highly catchy Space Christmas...
Kerri's wish list for her secret Santa is In!

She really really REALLY wants the book S. by Doug Dorst...looks interesting.

She could also use some new cooking spoons, wood and plastic, and also a big spatula.

And also the LL Bean Hearthside slipper...bright berry in a size 9.

She rounds out her list with a request for Blu-ray or DVD movies:
Star Trek: Into Darkness
The Hobbit extended edition
Les Miserable

Here's the Flaming Lips with the wonderful, jagged Christmas at the Zoo...saw the Flaming Lips several years ago. Shockingly good.

Let's keep this rolling, shall we? Ellen's up next with her wish list...

She'd like the finely crafted L.L. Bean Hearthside side slippers in a size 7. You can surprise her by choosing either tan or dark brown as the color. I know! Such dilemmas!

You can round out her wishes with some flavored vinegars from O'Live a Little. They can be found at Evergreen Walk, and of course online.

Another repeat I'm sure, but this never gets old...old punker Captain Sensible goes all pop crooner and gives us this gem: One Christmas Catalog...

Edit: She needs the size 6 slipper, not 7!
Let's get the holiday season in full swing with a direct and straightforward request from Kim for her secret Santa!

She would like a steamer for clothes...it seems this one would offer considerable utility and versatility, yes?

And I'm sure this is a repeat - because hey, there's only so many of these unique Christmas songs by indie artists around - but here's the endlessly wonderful Thanks for Christmas by one of my favorite 70's and 80's bands ever, XTC.
All right, let's see if I can remember how this thing works...I wasn't even sure I could remember my log in credentials.

Let's get this warmed up with the latest Carnival of Space!
