Welcome to Hit or History Classics.
Looks like you are in the Christmas spirit, for "Beautiful Star of Bethlehem" by the LeFevres barely defeated "First Day in Heaven".
To stay with the Christmas theme, this week the challenger will be a rare recording by the Statesmen . . . but you can hear it on the Southern Styles Show! It is "The Santa Claus Song" written by Lee Roy Abernathy. Be sure to listen to the Southern Styles Show this week!
Beautiful Star of Bethlehem by the LeFevres
or
Santa Claus Song by the Statesmen
Thanks again for playing Hit or History Classics!

The Statesmen Quartet - "Santa Claus Song"....of course! By the way this is one of the few Statesmen 78s that I do not have in my personal collection, and that fact makes me very sad!

I've gotta go with the Statesmen on this one too.

I've never heard the Santa Claus Song.
Do you keep singing it in your head over and over again like Beautiful Star of Bethlehem?
I have to vote for Beautiful Star since I have not heard the Santa Claus Song.

BB,
I'm so glad that was your pick!
We have yet to agree on a song, and I'd hate to mess up a year's worth of voting.

OK. I am not changing my vote, but that is a cool song and probably the first time I have ever heard whistling in 4 part harmony!!!

The only song I've been singing in my head this past week, is "Lipstick On Your Collar". :P

Looks like it's the Santa Claus Song for me and most of the voters this week. Nice to see such an oldie win the Classic of the Week.
