[…] Listen to this episode of the Can’t Wait for Christmas Podcast Author: Tim Babb Title: CWFC 125 – The Christmas Shoes […]
Great episode Tim! I’ve always found Christmas Shoes ability to elicit such strong emotion entertaining. Some people love it, but more often it seems they viscerally hate it. I don’t mind the song, but I will admit that for me listening to it once goes a long way.
Thanks for all you do Tim! Already looking forward to next month. By the way, what happened to Who Sang it Best?

I actually rather like the song, but my alter ego, who sounds a lot like me with a bad cold, is much more cynical. She thinks the kid is a con artist and created a sob story in order to get a $75 pair of sparkly shoes for $10.
Anyway, fun episode, as always. Can’t wait for May 25.
