Episode 43 - More Classic British Christmas Songs

This show is packed to the gills.  We have it all, bad
editing, poor sound quality, boring content, you name it, we've
got it.

First up is Santa Claus is NOT Coming to Town, and Katie Gibson
shares the story of how she kept the magic alive for her younger
sister.

Rich Chambers shares another Christmas memory and we listen to
his take on The Snow Miser and The Heat Miser from The Year
Without a Santa Claus.  Check out Rich's album here:

This episode we have two Top Ten Christmas Movie Lists, they're

they stand on our chart, only one person can decide, Judge
Jack.

Robin and Juno are BACK!  They explain to us exactly why we
put out a stocking at Christmas and then attempt to sing the
wonderful classic Last Christmas by Wham.

Then we have a clip from Ed Daly explaining what inspired one of
the all time greatest Christmas songs, Silent Night.  This
