(Found on the Weird Christmas Tumblr site)
Hi! I hope you're having a happy holiday, no matter how you celebrate it. We walked the dogs in the rain. That's it! No gifts, no carols, no Christmas movies - heck, not even any Christmas songs. (I couldn't believe that my wife hadn't heard the Stranglers' "Peaches" so I played the song for her as we walked, & now she's singing it as she's changing lightbulbs in the bathroom.)
However I know you might experience Christmas in some way shape or form, so I remind you that you can listen to this year's A Very Self Help Radio Christmas 2020 any time you'd like. Just click the link. You know what? Last year's A Very Self Help Radio Christmas 2019 is available too! & holy shizzle, look! The year before's A Very Self Help Radio Christmas 2018 is also there! I'm not going to check back, but I think there might be more - check on the Self Help Radio Show Index Page if you'd like. Just remember: you need a username & a password, & those are SHR & selfhelp. Happy happy!
If you'd like to look at movies & stuff, you can see the things the show's resident cinephile Chuck watched by visiting his YouTube Playlist of Christmas things he watched. (That's quite a list of Christmas Carols he's assembled there!) He has a Twitter thread where he talks about the movies he watches & he jots down quick reviews on Letterboxd. There might be some holiday treats for you but Chuck does have a caveat:
I thought I should add that there is some cringe & real ugliness amongst the videos. The worst of all is in the Holiday Inn trailer. You can read about what I found distasteful in my twitter posts.
As I said above, I hope you're happy & well, & that you know the stations on which I do shows, Freeform Portland & KBOO, broadcast 24/7 & are always worth listening to. Stay safe & thanks for listening & have a wonderful holiday & weekend!
