Biography
On their way home from a family vacation at the beach with a carload of kids, Gina Beltrami turned to her husband, Tony, and said, "Wouldn't 'I Farted on Santa's Lap' be a great title for a Christmas song?" To fight the boredom of the long drive, they began tossing out funny lines, and by the time they pulled into their driveway, they had written a hilarious Christmas song. Eventually, Tony sat down at the piano and put together music to accompany the lyrics. The song became a family holiday standard.

One year, Gina decided to book some time at a local studio to record the song to give to friends as Christmas presents. On the day of the recording, Gina and Tony enlisted their 7 year-old daughter, Mary, their son Anthony, their nieces, Hannah and Emily, and friends Olivia and Lauren to sing "I Farted on Santa's Lap," and The Little Stinkers were born.

The recording was such a hit with family and friends that Gina decided to bring it to local D.J., Ken Matthews, at WAEB-FM/B-104 in Allentown, PA. Matthews gave it a shot and played the song on his morning show. The phones lit up and his listeners' reaction was immediate and overwhelming. That was enough for Matthews to add the tune to his regular rotation.

Over the years, the song has gone from Ken Matthews’ show to radio stations all over the country, eventually charting on Billboard Magazine's Hot 100 Singles Sales chart. The song is now available at iTunes, Amazon.com, Cdbaby.com, and many other online retailers.

Because one of the Little Stinkers has Cystic Fibrosis, the Beltramis dedicate a portion of the proceeds from all sales to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
