Navidaddy - December 1: This Year's Santa Baby
As I mentioned in the Introduction, this year's Steve's 25 Days of Christmas Music theme of "Navidaddy" — a play on words combining the Spanish phrase for Christmas along with being a Daddy — will feature songs that reference babies or children in the titles, given that Amy & I are about to become proud parents to our first son (due date: December 21).
We're all pretty familiar with Eartha Kitt's rendition of "Santa Baby" from 1953. However, did you know that it had a sequel? The next year Kitt recorded today's song, This Year's Santa Baby, as an attempt to capitalize on the popularity of the original. It failed. Miserably. That would probably be the reason why you really don't hear it today. This makes it a great candidate to kick off our 25 Days event!
