Blakes 7 was a British space opera of the 1970's. The Federation of that universe was corrupt, and the uniforms featured our Star Trek emblem at a slant. It gave a fascinating, layered look at what happens when a small band of outlaws (Robin Hoody) are trapped in a space ship fighting everyone. Avon and Blake were the main characters - a thief and a freedom fighter clashing over survival and obligations. Complex Shakespearean tragedy.

"Have a Holly Jolly Christmas" by Burl Ives for Boston Legal. And staying with Boston Legal for Christmas, "Angels We Have Heard on High" from the Jug Mountain Boys

Filling out the Trump music videos for the Christmas season, another Melania Fashion Video set to Telemann's "Concerto In D-Major For 3 Trumpets." She SHOULD be on every fashion magazine cover and praised to the sky for the grace she brings the office of FLOTUS. YouTube up-arrows always appreciated for any Trump video. And in case you've forgotten it, here's last year's Melania Fashion Video to the music of Joseph Blanchard.

Without any question, the most popular of my music videos. Enya's "One Toy Soldier" for JAG.

With infinite gratitude to the military who is out there protecting us, while we're home celebrating the season. The Robertson Family's "Camouflage and Christmas Lights" for NCIS and NCIS-LA. And for the Tom Lehrer enthusiasts, "Table of Elements" for NCIS.

The newer Star War movies - Annie Lennox's "Coventry Carol." She's one of my favorite female singers. And since I'm an old Star Wars fan, and always had trouble understanding the plot of the new Star Wars, there's always "Weird Al" Yankovic to help interpret them with "The Saga Begins".

One of my favorite old shows, Starsky & Hutch for Jug Mountain Boys' "Santa Drank the Moonshine." Mostly from the "Moonshine" episode. And to keep the humor going, Tom Lehrer's "Masochism Tango" for Avon in Blakes 7.

The Nero Wolfe series to Elmo and Patsy's "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer." And for something a little stranger, "Weird Al" Yankovic's "Amish Paradise" for the movie "Witness."

"Carol of the Birds" by Chip Davis, from the David Tennant Dr Who episode, "The Shakespeare Code." The time travel, costume episodes are among my favorites. And another of my favorite historical episodes, "Vincent" by Don McLean for Vincent Van Gogh.

One of my very favorite Holmes actors. Nuttin' for Christmas - Hippos for Christmas. A funny Christmas piece for Jeremy Brett's Sherlock Holmes. And if you'd like to think of it as a Wassail song, Benedict Cumberbatch's Sherlock Holmes in All About Berries by Julia Ecklar. Boys Night Out!

From "The Undiscovered Country," "I Heard the Bells" by The Train Band. The Civil War is one of my study areas, so I've always loved this carol. And if you enjoyed the movie Kirk, then perhaps you'd also like a non-carol - Frank Sinatra's "I Did It My Way" for Shatner/Kirk in the movies.

Probably my favorite Dr Who music video. Enya's "White is in the Winter's Night." And, even though not a Christmas carol, in a still Dr Who mood, "Crossroads" by Don McLean, for the doctor and his companions.

And if you're not tired of Santa yet, "Santa's Coming" by the Arrogant Worms for Harry Potter's Voldemort.

Another doctor I enjoy, and two of my favorite companions. "Song for a Winter's Night" by Sarah McLachlan for Rory and Amy. And because it's hard to leave the doctor out of all the romance, "Anticipation" by Carly Simon for Riversong and the doctor, even if it's not Christmasy.

I really think David Tennant is my favorite Doctor. Annie Lennox's "Angels in the Snow." Henry Livingston's stories were in Clement Moore's library while he was growing up, as his father was a subscriber to the magazine in which Henry published. Audio of “Memoirs of a Pine Tree” by Henry Livingston, published in the New-York Magazine of March, 1792. A pine tree describes the world he knew as a young sapling, when only native Americans roamed the woods. Henry's comparison of their culture with that of his current day is absolutely fascinating.

A Christmas music video to make you grateful to get a hanky and socks this Christmas.

From the Secret Santa episode of Castle, "Deck the Halls" by Barry-Phillips. And for another variant on the theme, "Deck the Halls" by Helen Reddy for Mixed fandoms - Starsky & Hutch, Due South, Man from Uncle, Boston Legal, Forever Knight, Star Trek, Sherlock Holmes, House, Buffy, Lord of the Rings, Quantum Leap, and Blake's 7.
