Hello, Santa Claus here! At this time of year, I often guest-write Christmas blogs for those blogs which share the holiday spirit. I don't know much about Self Help Radio except this show was full of Christmas music & that's my favorite kind of music! So even though I've not heard the show nor will I ever hear it frankly because I am a very busy man who's guest-writing dozens of blogs simultaneously, I will go ahead & recommend it because that is the nice thing to do.
& yes, I can see you when you're sleeping & I know when you're awake. I have recently digitized my "naughty & nice" list & I ho ho hope it doesn't get hacked & put online! I hope the elves have decent encryption! Let's see, I'm supposed to say that not only does this show have wonderful Christmas music but well this is exciting, there are interviews with a Christmastologist - it's well-known I majored in that in college - as well as with a historian, a producer of holiday films, & a spiritual man who discusses the old holiday Yule. I remember it well. It was at a yule gathering I met Mrs. Claus!
Well, I suppose that's enough from me. The show is on a web page called Self Help Radio - I see, after the name of the show - & it's a two hour show - that's about as long as it takes me to deliver presents in the United States! - & the songs & interviews in each section are listed below.
Have a happy holiday & maybe we'll espy one another on Christmas Eve! I certainly hope there's nothing weird or disturbing about this show which will reflect badly on me!
