Yes indeed, all you good girls and boys (and a few of you bad ones too),
Time for us to plug in those lights we left hanging on the eaves of the house, dust off the reindeer ornaments abandoned in the front yard, confounding the neighbors even more while embracing the best and worst of Christmas.
Cue up the nog, your tackiest applique sweatshirts (with the sleeves tastefully cut off for summer), and wrap all the white-elephant gifts you’ve misplaced since December 1998 to share with your loved ones on this most precious of special nights.

“Christmas is Coming Twice This Year” made me laugh. A lot.

Tom: You’re going to make me get out of bed at 7am on a Saturday morning to listen to The Good Show?
(OK, technically, *I* would be making me get out of bed at 7am, but still…)

I would say Sunday nights, because it’s almost always a good open slot on my schedule.

Mel (my Mel, not the Neil Mel) says that she has a contact in Scotland that can get you some Scotch, if you’re really wanting it.

What time will it be on Saturday?

The move to Saturday is hypothetical at this point (haven’t approached management with an offer yet)… but it’d be 9a to noon, I’m thinking… we’d still have the show captured to MP3s in case you decide to sleep in…
Glad to know “Christmas is Coming Twice This Year” struck a chord, so to speak.
