Alternate versions:
- He has made four different break-ins under this title. The first one was done in 1985 using excerpts from the just-released Dr. Demento Presents The Greatest Novelty Records Of All Time 6-LP box set. This version is a reading of the poem "A Visit From St. Nicholas" (a/k/a "'Twas The Night Before Christmas"). For listings prior to 2000, the version is not indicated, since only the 1985 version existed.
- In 2000 he made a new Christmas Cut-Up, followed by another in 2002. The 2002 version uses excerpts from the Dr. Demento's 30th Anniversary Collection: Dementia 2000! 2-CD set.
- He made another new version in 2004. This one uses the phrase "Don't forget to stay demented!" as constructed from several different sources. The items used to construct that clip were the answer to Mystery Sound Bite #400 at Will's web site.
