	5:37pm GListener MW: aww this lovely duet just makes me miss the pre-LateShow "character" of Stephen Colbert

	6:03pm David Colangelo: Can we hear “Up with People”?
	♥ 6:04pm ParUbi: Hey Therese & everyone!

	6:16pm Jett: Merry Christmas to you and your family, Therese. Thanks for always playing great stuff. Para pa pum pum!
	6:16pm Chris: This is like a preview of Jon Solomon's 25 Hours of Christmas.
	6:21pm fredr: Excellent show Therese! Merry Christmas!
	6:23pm Therese: Jon Solomon is a gift and a treasure. (Even though he's on a different radio station.)
	6:24pm choggie: gonna eat me some gefilte 8 daaaaays!
	6:25pm Chris: What's weird is I hate the real version of Little Drummer Boy but love this one. Oh no doubt, I LOVE his marathon. It's the one time I don't listen to WFMU.

	6:54pm BH: did the Supreme Court ever rule on the question of "Is 'I Don't Believe In Christmas' considered a Christmas song"?

	7:00pm Jett: Can't deny "The Mistletoe and Me" by Isaac Hayes either.
	♥ 7:03pm Gaylord Fields: It may be true that I won’t be playing Christmas songs on my upcoming show, but that not because of any Scroogey/Grinchoid dislike or disdain. Why, Therese’s Yuletide offerings today are providing me bagfuls of comfort and joy.
	♥ 7:07pm mariano: Johnny Adams! Does anyone today have the vocal range to belt out "Reconsider Me"? For the record, I've been enjoying the hell out of the Holiday tunes today on FMU, as usual I've heard a bunch of stuff I had no idea existed.
	♥ 7:09pm patrick321: I remember stumbling on Ski Party decades ago, just flipping through channels and then being shocked when James Brown came on screen.
	7:12pm northguineahills: @Gaylord: so you might say Therese is providing bagfuls of beatific bagatelles bleeding beatific bliss?
	♥ 7:13pm Gaylord Fields: @northguineahills: Well, now I don’t have to.
	7:15pm johnzo: I just posted a zany christmas video/song... it’s real short: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=DB7b8MFHlvg also according to my grandma Bing Crosby wrote this song about spending christmas on a drunk at a hotel in Bennington VT... she says it was his annual tradition to go on a bender by himself... but come to think of it did he even write this song? I should probably look that up before I keep spreading that story... nahhh!
	7:17pm Mod Mokka Matti: I would like a big bag of buttery baguettes.
	♥ 7:21pm mariano: That's a hoot, @johnzo!
	7:21pm northguineahills: Martin Denny's version of Enchanted has no reference to xmas, but potherwise has the same melody....
	7:23pm northguineahills: Free Design!
	7:24pm northguineahills: I need to get more of these Peanut Butter Wolf mix comps....
	7:25pm johnzo: thanks Mariano! thinking about finally posting my Bernie song soon... also a song my friend and improvised on my porch called “kill the crackers”... neither of those are holiday themed tho.
	7:29pm phat: Sock it to me Santa!
	7:30pm johnzo: anybody know if James Brown got royalties from this?!
