 Hey hey everybody (or I should I say ho ho? 😀)

Here is the annual Xmas spectacular or extravaganza or whatever you wish to call it. This year is more traditionally based. No tracks about Santa's brains or zombies or stuff like that although I could not leave Frank the Christmas Turkey out of the mix, could I?

It has been a year for the books and I personally am so grateful for your continued support. It makes it a joy to put these shows together knowing someone out there might find a song or two to brighten the day.

Anyhow, before the eggnog starts talking here is the playlist (btw, in what alternate universe did someone think putting raw eggs into a drink was a good idea? Yikes.)

Present Face ... Garfunkel and Oates (always start with this one.)

Father Christmas ... Platinum Blonde *

Happy Holidays ... Glass Tiger and Roch Voisine *

I Believe In Father Christmas ... Emerson Lake and Palmer

The Little Boy That Santa Claus Forgot ... Nat King Cole (see the doc "Jingle Bell Rocks" for more insight)

Song For A Winter's Night ... Sarah McLachlan *

Hounds of Winter ... Sting (not Xmas but it's Sting for heaven sakes)

Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas ... James Kasper * (love the lo fi quality of this track)

Silent Night ... The Jingles * (Canada's only Christmas band)

What Better Time Than Christmas ... Ghost Cousin *

Peace on Earth ... Greg Clarke * (to the rescue!)

This Christmas ... Peter Foldy *

Christmas With You ... James Collins *

FRANK THE CHRISTMAS TURKEY ... Antsy McClain and the Trailer Park Troubadours 

Christmas Don't Be Late ... the Chipmunks (ALVIN!!!)

White Christmas (extro)... Jingle Cats (and Dogs)

Be merry, stay safe, remain kind and bottoms up.

Much love and thanks for listening

  Hey hey everybody!

It's December and you know what that means? Battling the roads with the Summer Tire Club, getting bundled up to go outside only to have to come back in because you drank a cup of coffee in the morning (c'mon, we have all done this) and justifying grazing on holiday treats throughout the day.

Well, here is this week's playlist which is guaranteed solid, good value and low calorie. (Hot chocolate, anyone?)
