Also, I never thought I'd be watching football and listening to Sheila B. at the same time, but that's 2020 for you, I guess. Looking forward to kicking this year to the curb and starting the new year next week with that killer line-up, Sheila.

	3:12pm djsheilab: Geoffrey in Ottawa—I was intrigued by that too! Looked for it everywhere but it appears it's only on the Mad Men Soundtrack.
	♥ 3:13pm fred: I think there's been some photoshop trickery with that picture: no way Joe McGasko would be wearing a tie like this
	3:13pm Nelo: yay, glad to be here and that you are doing this show for us. already made plans to listen to your new years show too :D
	3:13pm Chris M: Sheila B I will try to find it on youtube - I want to hear it again!

	♥ 3:21pm Geoffrey in Ottawa: Chris is right! I'm going to need to grab a copy of this one.
	3:22pm Chris M: @Geoffrey in Ottawa Brings back happy memories of my semester at McGill as an exchange student!
	♥ 3:22pm Geoffrey in Ottawa: @PPL You'll have to let us know how it turns out. Maple syrup in your CSA is a surprise. That stuff is gold in these here parts.
	3:22pm djsheilab: Merry Xmas mcdnyc!
	♥ 3:23pm Geoffrey in Ottawa: @ Chris. You can't beat Montreal. That's the first place I'm going if things ever return to some semblance of "normal."
	3:23pm P-90: Thanks for being here and doing this show @Sheila B and @Joe McG, instead of just letting this be an X-mas fill-in. Also love to Muffy and Princess.

	3:26pm WM: Gillian Hills... wasn't she in the movie Beat Girl 1960?
	3:26pm Nelo: hello to belgium from berlin ;)
	3:26pm statoj: Thanks, sheilab! I really love the sound of Angelique Kidjo.

	3:27pm fredr: Beautiful so far! Merry Christmas Sheila
	3:27pm P-90: And Happy Hanukkah to Alvy Singer, apparently an observant Jew who sits this holiday out (and probs prefers to keep his distance from Muffy & Princess on these occasions.)
	3:29pm Nelo: yay, I love me a good experiment, glad to be able to join in listening to it live :D
	♥ 3:31pm Ken From Hyde Park: Yip yip hooray for Skeleton Joe!

WMFU & all you FMUvians are a gift all year long - & that's no plastic mojo - that's for real : It doesn't happen without you. Santa got the pole - this is our refuge.

	3:36pm BH: reporting in from a part of the country where the temperature is currently 35, but was 10 degrees this morning. Hopefully if the obvious wasn't enough of a reason to keep people at home, the cold will motivate a few too
	3:37pm mcdnyc: Cute pic of Alvy Singer helping out with the mic setup.
	♥ 3:37pm fred: @Fox: I guess it's a good think Michele didn't have a show today, she could have lost her last 'L' (random bit of trivia: Hitchcock sent a Christmas card to French director François Truffaut with "Joyeux" then the whole alphabet except 'L')
	3:37pm djsheilab: Happy hols to you, Olivier in Belgium, WM, steveo, fredr, Andrew_in_WI, RRNov63, Marley P. Dogg, NH, + JD!

	3:40pm R. Noel Fox: Shortly after I was born, my Gramma went to the bank to buy a savings bond in my name. The teller asked my name. "Rachael Noel Fox" My gramma bought the bond, got home, and realized the teller had written the bond out to: "Rachae Fox"
	♥ 3:41pm a polished polish lady: @GiO roger that, it was a welcome surprise. The recipe is from food52 - hope it turns out ok!
	♥ 3:42pm a polished polish lady: ok so my hearing is a bit shot. i could have sworn they were singing "who chucked the baby out the window"
	3:43pm Deborah: Happy Day, everyone! Still grading finals, exams with the company of Clyde The Kitty and his feline buddy, Jerry.
	3:43pm Chris M: A+ on this one Sheila B!
	3:43pm ncjay: this exact same backing track is used for "Cool Yule" by Tony Rodele Larson - on "Christmas Party With Eddie G"
	3:43pm michael z: It would be fun to spend the Holidays hanging with Patsy Raye and her friends.
	3:43pm cal: Patsy Raye, She is really so cool!
	3:44pm Rick G: Finger snaps for everyone, daddy-o! Love this.
	3:44pm djsheilab: Patsy Raye wins Xmas! So far.....
	♥ 3:44pm fred: @Fox! Did she get that fixed? My brother had a misspelling on a form 40 year ago, and he still hasn't managed to get it fixed
	♥ 3:45pm steveo: true, @fred, true
	3:45pm cal: Sheila, Did you see that Dolly Parton documentary on Netflix?
	3:45pm Chris M: @Michael Z Santa please answer Patsy's request to bring her a man - me!
	3:45pm djsheilab: cal—I haven't yet! It's on my list.
	3:46pm djsheilab: Chris M—Hahaha!
	3:46pm R. Noel Fox: @Fred, yeah, she went back as soon as she noticed!
	♥ 3:48pm fred: @Sheila: you should have a ceremonial ceremony with Dolly granting you US citizenship
	3:50pm djsheilab: fred—Yes please!
	♥ 3:50pm DjLorraine: Ooohhh “ NO L“. Haha To me you will always be “OUR fox"
	3:52pm Vanessa: i have this on something
	♥ 3:53pm fred: @Sheila: You should ask her. It sounds like the kind of thing she might do, if asked nicely
	3:53pm statoj: sheilab, I think the Dalai Llama should have a ceremony granting you Universal Cosmic Citizenship, acknowledging your contribution to World Delight.
	♥ 3:53pm ChrisB.: Sheila, these are some swingin' holiday sounds!
	3:53pm Vanessa: i used to play this on my old show for xmas ... as well as 'forget me not' by martha and the vandellas
	3:55pm P-90: That Honey and the Bees track was divine
	3:56pm michael z: This is a heavenly set. Fabulous and original and surprising song picks.
	3:58pm Chris M: @michael z I was having a good day already - and this set makes it better!
	♥ 4:00pm JohnEBGood: Merry Christmas Sheila, and Joe. Peace on Earth!

	♥ 4:01pm Joe McG: Thanks, Michael! Such a pleasure to be here, and thanks to Sheila for giving me an active role in her show on this otherwise a bit lonesome Christmas Day!
	4:02pm statoj: A Pakistani accordion! Excellent! ANd a singer that sounds like an electric guitar! I love it!
	4:02pm Nelo: Yay, glad this is such a good fit for you you, Joe. :D
	4:03pm statoj: I am dancing.
	♥ 4:03pm fred: @Joe: you're making it less lonesome for me, if that counts
	♥ 4:04pm Joe McG: Yes, Sheila's show is one of my favorites, so it's so nice to be her guest again! (I was on once before!)
	4:04pm Rick G: Greetings Joe! Thanks for the swag over the past few years.
	4:05pm statoj: I just pulled a muscle. I don't care.
	♥ 4:05pm Stanley: Happy Chrissmiss to you Joe
	4:05pm wizard frog: Has Christmas come early this year? Oh, it IS Christmas! Wahoo! (the one time of year that joke 'works' - oh buoy) haha
	4:06pm Nelo: I remember the two of you doing a show together. Loved it back then too. You make a good team!
	4:06pm djsheilab: Joe brings the filth!
	♥ 4:06pm Joe McG: Happy Christmas, guys. Be careful, statoj!
	4:07pm statoj: Ha! Too late!
	♥ 4:07pm Micheal: Merry Xmas Sheila and Joe!
	♥ 4:07pm Stanley: What on earth can she mean?
	4:08pm wizard frog: Remote control turkey?
	♥ 4:08pm DjLorraine: Don't get a paper or ribbon cut
	♥ 4:09pm ChrisB.: Is anyone else digging on the fact that this Christmas you don't have to go anywhere or host a houseful of people?
	♥ 4:09pm fred: @Stanley: beats me. Wrapping a bottle isn't that hard, and anyway the wrapping isn't the point
	4:09pm statoj: Ahhh...from Tampa! Lot of good music down here.
	4:10pm michael z: This set is brilliant. Such variety. Joe genius. Perfect for a Holiday afternoon. Thank you.
	4:11pm djsheilab: Merry xmas ChrisB, wizard frog, Stanley, + Michael!
	4:11pm ncjay: loads of fun so far already, Joe. Thank you for all you do for WFMU and its listeners.
	♥ 4:11pm DjLorraine: Statjo your cougars are young on the west coast
	♥ 4:12pm fred: @DFLorraine: it's Florida
	♥ 4:12pm Stanley: fred: I hope you got a nice bottle for a present, wrapped or with just a big bow tied on. ChrisB: yes! Just me and my nearest. It's been a breeze.
	4:13pm statoj: We have a West Coast in Florida. IT's called the Gulf of Mexico.
	♥ 4:14pm Stanley: Merry Chrissmiss to you Sheila.
	4:14pm statoj: Wow this Nancy Dupree song is from 1969! It could be today.
	4:14pm Nelo: @chrisB: yes, I do. I do that every year though :) glad you get to enjoy it this year too
	4:15pm michael z: I Want is such a haunting song. What an epic of contrasts.
	4:16pm statoj: This is a fascinating set of kid songs, Joe. This Rockefeller Tree tune is 1999--spooky.
	4:16pm P-90: The Rochester NY Youngsters just came close to stealing the whole show...
	♥ 4:16pm artbrau: Merry Christmas, all! Thanks for spinning while I nog, Joe and Sheila!
	♥ 4:17pm fred: @Stanley: I probably have one, but my brother's in isolation due to contact tracing. So that bottle is too. I have a 26 year old Combus for him, just sitting there, tempting me. But I will be strong. These things shall pass and we should eventually get and share what's ours
	4:17pm djsheilab: Merry Xmas artbrau!
	4:19pm djsheilab: Wow....Super early Pizzicato!
	♥ 4:19pm JohnEBGood: Merry Christmas all!
	4:19pm rich: merry xmas joe and sheila usually at this time on this day we’re at my sister’s and the we’re neck deep in a second round of a christmas story on tbs. miss not being at my sister’s but this is so much better than that damn movie (which is fine once or twice during a lifetime)
	4:20pm djsheilab: I was just thinking that when I lived in Tokyo, I spent so much time in karaoke bars + boxes. I wonder if they've all had to shut down or if they operate on a pod, bring-yr-own-mic basis.
	4:20pm djsheilab: Merry Xmas rich + JohnEBGood!
	♥ 4:21pm fred: I knew a listener who played with Pizzicato Five while in Japan. He's probably still listening, but I don't know anyone anymore due to lockdown, hence the past tense
	♥ 4:24pm Stanley: fred: wow, that's a hard to find bottle. Cambus is long shut down. Wishing you a short wait until you can say 'santé' to your brother. (And let me know what the Scotch was like)
	4:24pm michael z: XMAS in Hawaii sounds like such fun. I have never heard Antena.
	♥ 4:24pm RomanDogBird: such a great antena track
	♥ 4:27pm fred: @Stanley: The tradition is we give to each other bottles we wouldn't consider buying for ourselves. What makes it easy is that we have very different tastes: he likes single grain, sherry and lowlands, I'm a peat freak
	4:28pm Nicholas from Montclair: Merry Christmas, Joe!
	4:30pm ZeeBee: Merry Christmas! Eating mole with the family. Peace to all
	4:30pm Jocelyn: Thank you for that lovely set!
	♥ 4:30pm Niall: Hello, you loverlies.
	♥ 4:30pm ratso: Great set, Joe! Merry Christmas.
	♥ 4:30pm Stanley: fred: that's a great tradition.
	♥ 4:31pm Joe McG: Thanks, Nicholas! Thanks, ratso, great fun!
	4:33pm djsheilab: A link to purchase this KILLER cover on Bandcamp: sinkane.bandcamp.com
	4:33pm djsheilab: All proceeds from "Christmas Wrapping" will be donated to The Food Bank for New York City!
	♥ 4:33pm DjLorraine: Fred ,i'm on the east coast of FL
	♥ 4:34pm nortonjutland: Merry Christmas and thank you Sheila and Joe! a twofer for xmas.
	♥ 4:35pm ratso: SOLID cover! Heading over to that bandcamp link right now. Thanks, Sheila.
	♥ 4:35pm fred: @Stanley: at a point we had another one for our birthdays: giving a bottle the recipient's age. We're too old for that now. Seriously, it's not even worth the price at that point
	4:35pm djsheilab: Thanks nortonjutland! Love sharing my show with Joe :)
	4:35pm djsheilab: ratso—Woo hoo!
	4:35pm michael z: I remember The Waitresses recording the original in June, which is when XMAS records needed to be made. It was hard putting a XMAS album together during Spring and Summer. But of course it’s all different know. Songs can come out instantly. This is very faithful to the original. Such a great song.
	♥ 4:36pm efd: whoa, is that the michael z??
	4:37pm djsheilab: Thanks for sharing michael z.!
	4:37pm djsheilab: Hey efd!
	♥ 4:37pm efd: p.s. hi Sheila and Joe and everyone! Merry Christmas and happy holidays to all!
	♥ 4:38pm Stanley: fred: sure that idea wasn't going to be realsitic at some point.
	♥ 4:38pm JohnEBGood: WFMU Holliday Puzzle. Sheila's in Brooklyn and Joe's in Jersey City. That makes Manhattan in the middle. What is in the middle of Manhattan?
	♥ 4:38pm Joe McG: Hey Evan, hope you're having a happy Christmas!
	♥ 4:39pm Joe McG: Oh, and thank you Jocelyn, missed you up there....
	♥ 4:41pm fred: @Stanley: at least it looks like the Brexit deal won't slap tariffs on essential stuff for us
	♥ 4:41pm DjLorraine: Fairuz
	4:41pm Israel T: Thanks Sheila and Joe for providing our Christmas soundtrack. Making Julia Childs’ beef bourguignon. We can’t be with our family even though they live 20 minutes away because it’s 25 degrees in St. Louis. Listening along with you kind folks is like being with family. Many thanks to you all!
	4:43pm djsheilab: It's our pleasure, Israel T.!
	4:43pm statoj: Israel T: I agree. Being with sheilab and all of you makes this solitary Christmas very special. Much love to everyone.
	♥ 4:44pm Stanley: fred; it was a pitiful achievement, avoiding disaster but something.
	♥ 4:45pm Joe McG: Wow, Sheila, this is the 2020 Christmas theme song!
	4:46pm X: holy crap this is one of my fav Xmas tunes. Thanks for the Darlene Love!!!!
	♥ 4:46pm Stanley: By the way, this show is terrific!
	4:46pm djsheilab: X—Yay! It's such an underrated song.
	♥ 4:47pm fred: @Stanley@4:44: 2020 taught me to lower my expectations, so I'll take avoiding disaster
	♥ 4:48pm Stanley: fred: me too. Roll on 21!
	♥ 4:48pm Andrew_in_WI: @Joe McG You said it. Currently alone, but have a cat on my lap in front of a fire.
	4:49pm michael z: Excellent choice for the occasional male singer. And a resonant song this year....
	4:49pm statoj: This is those poor truck drivers' song stuck at the Port of Dover.
	♥ 4:49pm Niall: The like, all-time Irish echsmess song.
	♥ 4:50pm Niall: All I hear is “can’t get enough of your love, baby.”
	♥ 4:50pm Monica: nice one this chris rea! but they're all super swell. warm wishes to you, sheila. and you too, joe! and the entire fam in the sophisticated boom boom room:)
	♥ 4:51pm Joe McG: Same to you, Monica! :)
	♥ 4:52pm Niall: Enjoying the slightly melancholy airs, though.
	♥ 4:52pm fred: Monica! When are you coming back?
	4:53pm statoj: oh my god! I remember Libana from the '90s; all the wiccan women were into this band.
	4:54pm statoj: Guess I should have said "Oh my goddess..."
	♥ 4:55pm DjLorraine: Hehe
	4:55pm djsheilab: Happy holidays, Monica! Glad you're on board with Chris Rea. He's a hard sell! Xoxoxo
	♥ 4:55pm Monica: fred - will be gracing a set on sheila's show next week with a lineup of stellar gals from the WFMU firmament:)

	♥ 4:58pm fred: @Monica: that will help with the looming "enhanced restrictions", whatever that means
	♥ 5:03pm Handy Haversack: Hello and joyous wishes, Sheila and everyone! So sorry we're late -- but we were hanging out outside with good friends. COLD but worth it. And glad to be here with YOU good folx all as well!

	♥ 5:13pm Joe McG: A bit of melancholy, but we'll bounce back!I always say that this time of year is part cheer and part chill.
	5:16pm Kpx: Nice hairy hound doggy's. wasn't going to log on, but had a last-second hesitant change of mind to just give a quick - Mary kriss Miss FMU peepills.
	5:17pm djsheilab: What a touching cover.
	5:18pm ncjay: webstream cutting out and back in now
	♥ 5:19pm fred: @Handy: Maybe plan a backup merch handler, you'll have so many drinks handed to you. I know your handle claims a big capacity, but is your liver up to that?
	5:19pm ncjay: but back out at the moment
	♥ 5:19pm Handy Haversack: OK, ncjay, thanks for the confirmation -- here, too!

	3:37pm mcdnyc: Cute pic of Alvy Singer helping out with the mic setup.
	♥ 3:37pm fred: @Fox: I guess it's a good think Michele didn't have a show today, she could have lost her last 'L' (random bit of trivia: Hitchcock sent a Christmas card to French director François Truffaut with "Joyeux" then the whole alphabet except 'L')

	♥ 4:09pm ChrisB.: Is anyone else digging on the fact that this Christmas you don't have to go anywhere or host a houseful of people?

	♥ 4:14pm Stanley: Merry Chrissmiss to you Sheila.
	4:14pm statoj: Wow this Nancy Dupree song is from 1969! It could be today.
	4:14pm Nelo: @chrisB: yes, I do. I do that every year though :) glad you get to enjoy it this year too
	4:15pm michael z: I Want is such a haunting song. What an epic of contrasts.
	4:16pm statoj: This is a fascinating set of kid songs, Joe. This Rockefeller Tree tune is 1999--spooky.
	4:16pm P-90: The Rochester NY Youngsters just came close to stealing the whole show...
	♥ 4:16pm artbrau: Merry Christmas, all! Thanks for spinning while I nog, Joe and Sheila!

	4:20pm djsheilab: I was just thinking that when I lived in Tokyo, I spent so much time in karaoke bars + boxes. I wonder if they've all had to shut down or if they operate on a pod, bring-yr-own-mic basis.
	4:20pm djsheilab: Merry Xmas rich + JohnEBGood!
	♥ 4:21pm fred: I knew a listener who played with Pizzicato Five while in Japan. He's probably still listening, but I don't know anyone anymore due to lockdown, hence the past tense
	♥ 4:24pm Stanley: fred: wow, that's a hard to find bottle. Cambus is long shut down. Wishing you a short wait until you can say 'santé' to your brother. (And let me know what the Scotch was like)
	4:24pm michael z: XMAS in Hawaii sounds like such fun. I have never heard Antena.
	♥ 4:24pm RomanDogBird: such a great antena track
	♥ 4:27pm fred: @Stanley: The tradition is we give to each other bottles we wouldn't consider buying for ourselves. What makes it easy is that we have very different tastes: he likes single grain, sherry and lowlands, I'm a peat freak

	♥ 4:35pm fred: @Stanley: at a point we had another one for our birthdays: giving a bottle the recipient's age. We're too old for that now. Seriously, it's not even worth the price at that point
	4:35pm djsheilab: Thanks nortonjutland! Love sharing my show with Joe :)
	4:35pm djsheilab: ratso—Woo hoo!
	4:35pm michael z: I remember The Waitresses recording the original in June, which is when XMAS records needed to be made. It was hard putting a XMAS album together during Spring and Summer. But of course it’s all different know. Songs can come out instantly. This is very faithful to the original. Such a great song.

	♥ 4:41pm DjLorraine: Fairuz
	4:41pm Israel T: Thanks Sheila and Joe for providing our Christmas soundtrack. Making Julia Childs’ beef bourguignon. We can’t be with our family even though they live 20 minutes away because it’s 25 degrees in St. Louis. Listening along with you kind folks is like being with family. Many thanks to you all!
	4:43pm djsheilab: It's our pleasure, Israel T.!
	4:43pm statoj: Israel T: I agree. Being with sheilab and all of you makes this solitary Christmas very special. Much love to everyone.

	♥ 4:52pm fred: Monica! When are you coming back?
	4:53pm statoj: oh my god! I remember Libana from the '90s; all the wiccan women were into this band.
