Tim,
Being a Christmas nut myself, I love the podcast.
One correction for the Grinch segment – the special will celebrate it’s 50th anniversary in 2016. The studio got a jump start with the 50th anniversary copy a year early. The 1957 date referenced in the podcast was the publication of the book.
I want to cast a write-in vote for The Christmas Waltz. For me, the best version is The Carpenters’ from the Christmas Portrait album.
Have a great Christmas. I’m looking forward to a new year of your podcast.

@Brian D’OH!!! How did I miss THAT? Well guess who just made the mailbag for the January episode?
My sister was born two weeks before Christmas in 1978 and could fit in her stocking that year. She has fallen victim to “birthday/Christmas” gifts from friends, but we’ve never combined them. There was, however, a birthday/Christmas tradition we had growing up that she didn’t mind: We always went out and bought our Christmas tree on her birthday. That was a fun tradition. Oh and, one last thing: I don’t think anyone knows who Nancy Wilson is.
Late comer, but Lesley, you need to know who Nancy Wilson is!! You gotta love jazz, but you also gotta hear “Guess Who I Saw Today” — killer.
Hooray to Dynelle for dropping an “R rated” bomb!
