Hey PJs! MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!! (It's Christmas.)

Fantastic Holiday podcast, chaps. Yeah, Christmas isn't always sunshine and lollipops. The older I get the more I feel anxiety about the impending holidays. It feels like a mad rush to the finish line which is Christmas Eve. My Dad, as some of you (ie: Tyler) may be aware, is notoriously difficult about gift-giving occasions. Stress for that (in avoidance of a Christmas morning "What made you think I'd want this, Kristen? At least you could have bought the higher-end model...") begins mid-October.

...aren't reindeer an actual species? Oh wait. They're caribou.

You played so many good songs! "Christmas (Baby, Please Come Home)" is one of my favourite contemporary holiday songs. (Is it still considered contemporary if it's 45 years old?) And thanks for playing my suggestions. (Notably, also, for not playing The Carpenters.)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ALYSSA!!!!!!!!!

And you thought I'd forget!(It's Christmas.)

Blessings!

Have been thinking about the new theme song... I think it's going to be hard for your listeners to choose because it really is something that sets the tone for the beginning of the show-- and you will know what you want much better than I would.

Still, so I feel like I contributed...

JOY by Apollo 100
BRANDENBURG by Beirut
YOUR HEAD IS ON FIRE by Broken Bells
COME TO ME by Koop
DAYLIGHT by Matt and Kim
KEEP MARCHIN' by Raphael Saadiq
WHY CAN'T WE BE FRIENDS by War

Some Thoughts:
-Tyler is being dishonest. He actually became interested in pottery after watching ghost.
-I agree. Jewelry is rarely appropriate. It is an exceptionally awkward gift.
-I missed your voice Alissa. I'm going to try and lower my voice 8000 octives so that I can sound more like you and not like a 13 year old girl.
-On the topic of 13 year old girls...Thanks for playing Hanson! "Snowed In" is really a classic.
-Glen appreciated the John Denver. We have been kicking it in Lindsay listening to that CD.
-lol @ Tyler's "accent" that gave away his position as an academic.

Great Job! Merry Christmas!

Is the answer "Angora Socks"?

Another bizarrely diverse Christmas collection of tunes - liked it. Especially the Pink Martini version of "We Three Kings".

Tyler's list of select Christmas titles should prompt some listeners to come up with a musical score and lyrics for each piece. Now there's a contest!

Happy Birthday Alyssa!

Season's Greetings all,
