It's Christmas! Hurrah! Hooray! Oh wait. It's not Christmas yet. Well, shoot.
But! It's the weekend before Christmas, & all through your computer, you can listen to two hours of holiday music peppered with my usual ridiculousness (as well as contributions from my radio besties) in the regular fashion. Seriously, it's the same way I've done it for years. But you like regularity, right? It's like Christmas! New presents though! The songs are the presents!
& boy there are lots of songs. I think sixteen of them - more than half of the songs on the show - are from 2018. That may not excite you. Don't worry! Someone's playing Elvis Presley singing Christmas tunes somewhere on the radio right now. But you'd have more fun with this Christmas show.
It's now at Self Help Radio Christmas Central. You'll have to "unwrap" it with a username & a password - "SHR" & "selfhelp" respectively, without the quotation marks - it's two hours long & all the stuff that happens on the show is listed below.
Happy Christmas! This is my present to you. You can't return it. It's homemade. Once size fits all. Don't be a scrooge! Listen!
