	10:13pm Alex from Media: So where does the line between shoegaze and dreampop lie? Im always kind of hazy on the genre game.
	🦇 10:14pm Julie: ↳ Alex from Media @10:13 it's a fuzzy line...some songs are kinda both. dreampop is more melodic.
	🦇 10:21pm Julie: I was gonna try to include both but I had like 4 plus hours of stuff already...but there's definitely gonna be some more dreamy stuff in here tonight
	10:22pm spodiodi: greetings, Julie! greetings, all!

	🦇 10:24pm Julie: hi spodi! good morning, laura, happy boxing day!
	10:26pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ laurapanic @10:23 hearing of someone going to the beach is pretty disorienting to my state of mind right now
	🦇 10:28pm Julie: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:26 sounds nice though doesn't it
	10:28pm tom tom the pipers son: oh, the swirlies seem to be favorites of lots o people
	10:28pm laurapanic: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:26 I'll send the good wholesome vibes. Just me, walking shoes, then swim gear, my beach chair and the Miki Berenyi memoir to read.
	10:29pm Bobby: Oh hi!
	🦇 10:30pm Julie: hi Bobby!
	10:30pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ laurapanic @10:28 very nice...thanks, i'm looking up miki berenyi for the full effect
	10:32pm Honski de Boiski Cha Cha: I am a bit late but Gene Clark is a good excuse (his mighty album ‘No Other’ aside I gave a spin to some tracks from The Rolling Stones’ Out of Our Heads & Aftermath and then three Doors albums). The only bad thing about my vinyl warmups before this show is that I tend to miss some of the songs played here but it’s the holiday season so….
	10:32pm StringOFperils: Lush can't be far away.
	🦇 10:33pm Julie: hhiya Cha Cha!
	10:34pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ laurapanic @10:28 funny thing ...saw you are reading a rock bio and it brought to mind viv albertines memoirs and right in berenyi's instagram is a pic of viv albertine
	🦇 10:35pm Julie: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:34 spooky
	10:36pm Honski de Boiski Cha Cha: ↳ Julie @10:33 Hi and thank you once more for these Xmas shows, makes it so much easier to get through the holiday season.
	10:38pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Julie @10:35 well i guess both british rock ladies, they stick together..albertine paving the way
	10:39pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Honski de Boiski Cha Cha @10:36 yes these tunes are hitting the spot in the snowglobe of my mind
	🦇 10:40pm Julie: ↳ Honski de Boiski Cha Cha @10:36 same for me! my pleasure
	🦇 10:40pm Julie: thank you tom tom
	10:40pm Honski de Boiski Cha Cha: ↳ Song: "Jingle Bells (Snowblower)" by "lovesliescrushing" So even lovesliescrushing has a Christmas song, hah, I didn’t know one existed!
	10:41pm laurapanic: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:34 Viv's books spoke to me so much, might re-read this summer
	🦇 10:41pm Julie: ↳ Honski de Boiski Cha Cha @10:40 i love it so much
	10:42pm laurapanic: ↳ laurapanic @10:41 Viv's whole journey speaks to pun k women of a certain age....
	10:44pm Alex from Media: Drifting in and out of sleep and this music is perfect for this mental state.
	10:44pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ laurapanic @10:41 me too... they are very vivid "shares"...i wanted to contact her....aftward but never did
	10:48pm Honski de Boiski Cha Cha: ↳ Julie @10:41 Yes! This is just genius stuff. I read from somewhere lovesliescrushing had really bad recording equipment, like a four-track portastudio where the meters were dead as well as one of the four tracks. When strong ideas overcome (technical) adversity…
	🦇 10:49pm Julie: ↳ Honski de Boiski Cha Cha @10:48 oh that's so funny!
	10:56pm Cronbat: Merry Christmas, Julie and to all who soldier through the dark night!
	🦇 10:57pm Julie: hiya cronbat!
	🦇 11:01pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Julie and night timers!
	🦇 11:01pm Julie: hiya Ken!
	11:02pm Honski de Boiski Cha Cha: Regarding the dreampop/shoegaze debate, Beach Boys is the most unlikely name to drop when talking about shoegaze but ‘All I Want to Do’ from their 1970 album ’Sunflower’ is definitely a pioneering dreampop song.
	11:03pm DL in LA: Hi Julie. I often listen but rarely listen live. Sounding good!
	🦇 11:04pm Julie: Hi DL!
	11:06pm asheville jon: Julie, hello
	11:06pm Alex from Media: The music is really landing with me tonight.
	11:10pm Honski de Boiski Cha Cha: While I don’t really care for any musical genres, it is hard to go wrong with good shoegaze, dreampop and whatever this fabulous music is called.
	🦇 11:10pm Julie: hi asheville jon! Thank you Alex!
	11:10pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Honski de Boiski Cha Cha @11:02 love a beach boys ref on the chatboard...."all i wanna do" i've heard described a proto chillwave...which i have no idea bout or any of these genres really
	🦇 11:11pm Julie: ↳ Honski de Boiski Cha Cha @11:02 I feel like their later 60s stuff has bits of that throughout.
	🦇 11:12pm Julie: I really think the wall of sound begat the wall of noise so it makes sense. wall of sound plus 60s guitar fuzz = shoegaze
	11:12pm Honski de Boiski Cha Cha: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:10 Me neither but that particular song is truly ahead of its time
	11:13pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Julie @11:11 was just going to say ...i went to sleep, time to get alone, wind chimes (from smile) probabvly more i can't think of
	🦇 11:13pm Julie: man I love wind chimes
	11:14pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Julie @11:13 those are my wind chiiimmmess
	🦇 11:14pm Julie: what would be wlld is shoegaze with beach boys style harmonies
	11:17pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Julie @11:14 yes but they or whoever would have to leap beyond four freshman-esque ness of even the beach boys
	11:17pm Honski de Boiski Cha Cha: ↳ Julie @11:11 Yes, for instance those songs Tom Tom just mentioned. Maybe the late 60s stuff is no longer underrated but at the time The Beach Boys were not exactly considered to be “good music” (not something self-respecting rock critic would have listened to)
	🦇 11:18pm Julie: I guess Miranda Sex Garden veers into that territory
	11:18pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Honski de Boiski Cha Cha @11:17 except in england
	🦇 11:18pm Julie: ↳ Honski de Boiski Cha Cha @11:17 oh for sure. the early stuff was juvenile and the later stuff was incomprehensible
	11:19pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Julie @11:18 oh u huh...i don't know them
	🦇 11:19pm Julie: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:18 yeah you know all the greats were ilstening to pet sounds
	11:20pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Julie @11:19 it was hand delivered to beatles from beach boys on tour in england
	🦇 11:20pm Julie: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:19 check out their album suspiria. they started as an acapella madrigal group then added this noisy crunchy sound
	🦇 11:21pm Julie: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:20 pre release?
	11:22pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Julie @11:18 early stuff... farmers daughter, lonely sea, in my room, don't worry baby, warmth of the sun allexemplary pieces of music
	11:24pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Julie @11:21 i assume so... they listened to it together w/o brian of course
	🦇 11:24pm Julie: I would imagine Brian felt the same about Rubber Soul
	11:24pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Julie @11:20 sounds interesting
	🦇 11:25pm Julie: I believe Cha Cha just saw them on their comeback tour. Kristeen Young opened for some of their dates
	🦇 11:26pm Julie: Cha Cha is that your original moniker? Is that your name or a phrase?
	11:26pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Julie @11:24 rubber soul came after pet sounds didn't it...or no '65?
	🦇 11:26pm Julie: ↳ Song: "Until The End" by "Etti/Etta" l like these guys a lot
	🦇 11:27pm Julie: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:26 I just meant they'd be just as into it. they could still pick up things from each other
	🦇 11:27pm Julie: yeah 65. I'm always surprised how early that record is. always think more like 67
	11:29pm Roberto: We lost our horse but we gained our dark night!
	🦇 11:29pm Julie: hiya Roberto!
	11:29pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Julie @11:27 yes i think wilson's listening to rubber soul played a part in the creation of pet sounds ...from the horse's mouth
	11:30pm Honski de Boiski Cha Cha: ↳ Julie @11:25 Yes I saw them twice, once with Kristen Young supporting and later with hackedepicciotto supporting. (Alex Hacke did indeed produce the mighty‘Fairytales of Slavery)
	🦇 11:31pm Julie: ↳ Song: "First Kiss and Dead Off" by "SOFT" boom serious wall of noise
	🦇 11:32pm Julie: ↳ Honski de Boiski Cha Cha @11:30 ooh i don't know them they seem like someone I would dig
	🦇 11:34pm Julie: I've been moving back and forth doing things I think I'll listen to this show another night when I can just bask
	11:35pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Julie @11:34 that's so shoegaze.... ;)
	🦇 11:35pm Julie: ↳ Song: "Waters" by "Coming Up Roses" this is more dreampop.
	11:36pm Honski de Boiski Cha Cha: ↳ Julie @11:26 You mean Honski de Boiski? That’s Keith Richards’ version of polish language (him referring to the Stones’ 1967 Warsaw visit)
	🦇 11:36pm Julie: ↳ Honski de Boiski Cha Cha @11:36 ohhhh! I think you told me that before sorry
	🦇 11:37pm Julie: yikes this is practically pop
	🦇 11:37pm Julie: great guitar fuzz though
	11:38pm tom tom the pipers son: goes gazey in. the chorus
	11:39pm tom tom the pipers son: nice riffing
	🦇 11:39pm Julie: it's so funny I used to complain that I wanted the vocals out front more and now it's like they aren't supposed to be like that
	11:41pm tom tom the pipers son: right...last two recent releases
	11:42pm Roberto: True WFMU confessions: today I learned Nick Cave is Australian and not American. How TF did I not know this?
	🦇 11:43pm Julie: ↳ Roberto @11:42 it's kind jarring isn't it? Engish sure but Australian? he seems too dark and moody
	🦇 11:43pm Julie: he should be from manchester
	11:43pm Roberto: ↳ Julie @11:43 Yes, it's really two steps removed from my previously assumed reality.
	🦇 11:44pm Julie: how did you find out? Did he post xmas beach pix or something?
	11:45pm Roberto: ↳ Julie @11:44 I saw an old interview with him in one of my feeds.
	11:45pm tom tom the pipers son: don't pay attention to what the australian board of commerce tells you about australians
	🦇 11:46pm Julie: I mean...I guess INX were a little broody. But that's not the cliche
	🦇 11:46pm Julie: INXS that is
	11:47pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Julie @11:46 that there is a crocodile dundee means there's a nick cave
	🦇 11:47pm Julie: ↳ Song: "Darkness" by "Unison" apparently this is "witch house"
	11:48pm Roberto: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:47 The crocodile from Crocodile Dundee just passed away at approximated age 90.
	🦇 11:48pm Julie: ↳ Roberto @11:48 I saw that. There was a photo of Paul and I gasped
	🦇 11:49pm Julie: the stories say the "icon" from..and Paul Hogan is for sure an icon
	11:49pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Roberto @11:48 i guess he avoided all the pitfalls of stardom
	11:50pm Roberto: ↳ Julie @11:49 But a younger-than-90 one.
	🦇 11:50pm Julie: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:49 I do think he left his wife for his costar
	🦇 11:51pm Julie: ↳ Song: "Guilt" by "Chapterhouse" I hardly know these guys but I hear their name ALL the time
	11:51pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Julie @11:50 the gator...?
	🦇 11:51pm Julie: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:51 ha I thought we were talking about Paul
	11:51pm Roberto: Anyhu, I guess I had never heard Nick speak before, only sing.
	11:52pm Sunny: Damn I pretty much missed the show which makes me sad. Hope to catch it in the archives.
	🦇 11:52pm Julie: in fairness though I pay more sttention to bands with female vocals. which is why I've never got more into JAMC
	🦇 11:53pm Julie: ↳ Sunny @11:52 hiya Sunny. I think it was a decent one.
	11:54pm spodiodi: was great, Julie! thank you for being here
	11:54pm Roberto: My late father-in-law loved to quote that one line from Croc Dundee -- That's not a knife. THIS is a knife.
	🦇 11:54pm Julie: thanks for listening spodi!
	11:54pm Alex from Media: Gotta crash. Great show Julie! Gnite all.
	🦇 11:54pm Julie: ↳ Roberto @11:54 I think it became the dad joke
	11:54pm spodiodi: ↳ Roberto @11:54 i see you've played knifer-spooney before
	🦇 11:54pm Julie: nite Alex!
	11:54pm Roberto: Yes, sorry, all, for the sudden Australian turn in the comments.
	11:55pm spodiodi: knifey*
	🦇 11:55pm Julie: I had cut Lush but since someone brought them up but of course I picked a less gazey song to grab just now
	11:56pm northguineahills: Medicine! got here for the end!
	🦇 11:56pm Julie: thanks for listening everyone! I Hope some of you will be there next week for my new year's eve show (regular time)
	🦇 11:56pm Julie: ↳ northguineahills @11:56 glad you were able to get your dose
	11:56pm tom tom the pipers son: off color art school story... nude self portraits.. one student draws himself with an erection holding a kniofe teachert says you've renderered your tool rather nicely
	11:56pm northguineahills: thanks Julie, enjoy the holidays!
	11:56pm northguineahills: ↳ spodiodi @11:55 *spooney!
	11:57pm tom tom the pipers son: thanks jullie nice night cap to day

	10:32pm Honski de Boiski Cha Cha: I am a bit late but Gene Clark is a good excuse (his mighty album ‘No Other’ aside I gave a spin to some tracks from The Rolling Stones’ Out of Our Heads & Aftermath and then three Doors albums).

	🦇 10:57pm Julie: hiya cronbat!
	🦇 11:01pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Julie and night timers!
	🦇 11:01pm Julie: hiya Ken!
	11:02pm Honski de Boiski Cha Cha: Regarding the dreampop/shoegaze debate, Beach Boys is the most unlikely name to drop when talking about shoegaze but ‘All I Want to Do’ from their 1970 album ’Sunflower’ is definitely a pioneering dreampop song.
	11:03pm DL in LA: Hi Julie. I often listen but rarely listen live. Sounding good!
	🦇 11:04pm Julie: Hi DL!
	11:06pm asheville jon: Julie, hello
	11:06pm Alex from Media: The music is really landing with me tonight.
	11:10pm Honski de Boiski Cha Cha: While I don’t really care for any musical genres, it is hard to go wrong with good shoegaze, dreampop and whatever this fabulous music is called.
	🦇 11:10pm Julie: hi asheville jon! Thank you Alex!
	11:10pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Honski de Boiski Cha Cha @11:02 love a beach boys ref on the chatboard...."all i wanna do" i've heard described a proto chillwave...which i have no idea bout or any of these genres really
	🦇 11:11pm Julie: ↳ Honski de Boiski Cha Cha @11:02 I feel like their later 60s stuff has bits of that throughout.
	🦇 11:12pm Julie: I really think the wall of sound begat the wall of noise so it makes sense. wall of sound plus 60s guitar fuzz = shoegaze
	11:12pm Honski de Boiski Cha Cha: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:10 Me neither but that particular song is truly ahead of its time
	11:13pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Julie @11:11 was just going to say ...i went to sleep, time to get alone, wind chimes (from smile) probabvly more i can't think of
	🦇 11:13pm Julie: man I love wind chimes
	11:14pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Julie @11:13 those are my wind chiiimmmess
	🦇 11:14pm Julie: what would be wlld is shoegaze with beach boys style harmonies
	11:17pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Julie @11:14 yes but they or whoever would have to leap beyond four freshman-esque ness of even the beach boys
	11:17pm Honski de Boiski Cha Cha: ↳ Julie @11:11 Yes, for instance those songs Tom Tom just mentioned. Maybe the late 60s stuff is no longer underrated but at the time The Beach Boys were not exactly considered to be “good music” (not something self-respecting rock critic would have listened to)
	🦇 11:18pm Julie: I guess Miranda Sex Garden veers into that territory
	11:18pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Honski de Boiski Cha Cha @11:17 except in england
	🦇 11:18pm Julie: ↳ Honski de Boiski Cha Cha @11:17 oh for sure. the early stuff was juvenile and the later stuff was incomprehensible
	11:19pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Julie @11:18 oh u huh...i don't know them
	🦇 11:19pm Julie: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:18 yeah you know all the greats were ilstening to pet sounds
	11:20pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Julie @11:19 it was hand delivered to beatles from beach boys on tour in england
	🦇 11:20pm Julie: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:19 check out their album suspiria. they started as an acapella madrigal group then added this noisy crunchy sound
	🦇 11:21pm Julie: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:20 pre release?
	11:22pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Julie @11:18 early stuff... farmers daughter, lonely sea, in my room, don't worry baby, warmth of the sun allexemplary pieces of music
	11:24pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Julie @11:21 i assume so... they listened to it together w/o brian of course
	🦇 11:24pm Julie: I would imagine Brian felt the same about Rubber Soul
	11:24pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Julie @11:20 sounds interesting
	🦇 11:25pm Julie: I believe Cha Cha just saw them on their comeback tour. Kristeen Young opened for some of their dates
	🦇 11:26pm Julie: Cha Cha is that your original moniker? Is that your name or a phrase?
	11:26pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Julie @11:24 rubber soul came after pet sounds didn't it...or no '65?
	🦇 11:26pm Julie: ↳ Song: "Until The End" by "Etti/Etta" l like these guys a lot
	🦇 11:27pm Julie: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:26 I just meant they'd be just as into it. they could still pick up things from each other
	🦇 11:27pm Julie: yeah 65. I'm always surprised how early that record is. always think more like 67
	11:29pm Roberto: We lost our horse but we gained our dark night!
	🦇 11:29pm Julie: hiya Roberto!
	11:29pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Julie @11:27 yes i think wilson's listening to rubber soul played a part in the creation of pet sounds ...from the horse's mouth
	11:30pm Honski de Boiski Cha Cha: ↳ Julie @11:25 Yes I saw them twice, once with Kristen Young supporting and later with hackedepicciotto supporting. (Alex Hacke did indeed produce the mighty‘Fairytales of Slavery)
	🦇 11:31pm Julie: ↳ Song: "First Kiss and Dead Off" by "SOFT" boom serious wall of noise
	🦇 11:32pm Julie: ↳ Honski de Boiski Cha Cha @11:30 ooh i don't know them they seem like someone I would dig
	🦇 11:34pm Julie: I've been moving back and forth doing things I think I'll listen to this show another night when I can just bask
	11:35pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Julie @11:34 that's so shoegaze.... ;)
	🦇 11:35pm Julie: ↳ Song: "Waters" by "Coming Up Roses" this is more dreampop.
	11:36pm Honski de Boiski Cha Cha: ↳ Julie @11:26 You mean Honski de Boiski? That’s Keith Richards’ version of polish language (him referring to the Stones’ 1967 Warsaw visit)
	🦇 11:36pm Julie: ↳ Honski de Boiski Cha Cha @11:36 ohhhh! I think you told me that before sorry
	🦇 11:37pm Julie: yikes this is practically pop
	🦇 11:37pm Julie: great guitar fuzz though
	11:38pm tom tom the pipers son: goes gazey in. the chorus
	11:39pm tom tom the pipers son: nice riffing
	🦇 11:39pm Julie: it's so funny I used to complain that I wanted the vocals out front more and now it's like they aren't supposed to be like that
	11:41pm tom tom the pipers son: right...last two recent releases
	11:42pm Roberto: True WFMU confessions: today I learned Nick Cave is Australian and not American. How TF did I not know this?
	🦇 11:43pm Julie: ↳ Roberto @11:42 it's kind jarring isn't it? Engish sure but Australian? he seems too dark and moody
	🦇 11:43pm Julie: he should be from manchester
	11:43pm Roberto: ↳ Julie @11:43 Yes, it's really two steps removed from my previously assumed reality.
	🦇 11:44pm Julie: how did you find out? Did he post xmas beach pix or something?
	11:45pm Roberto: ↳ Julie @11:44 I saw an old interview with him in one of my feeds.
	11:45pm tom tom the pipers son: don't pay attention to what the australian board of commerce tells you about australians
	🦇 11:46pm Julie: I mean...I guess INX were a little broody. But that's not the cliche
	🦇 11:46pm Julie: INXS that is
	11:47pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Julie @11:46 that there is a crocodile dundee means there's a nick cave
	🦇 11:47pm Julie: ↳ Song: "Darkness" by "Unison" apparently this is "witch house"
	11:48pm Roberto: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:47 The crocodile from Crocodile Dundee just passed away at approximated age 90.
	🦇 11:48pm Julie: ↳ Roberto @11:48 I saw that. There was a photo of Paul and I gasped
	🦇 11:49pm Julie: the stories say the "icon" from..and Paul Hogan is for sure an icon
	11:49pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Roberto @11:48 i guess he avoided all the pitfalls of stardom
	11:50pm Roberto: ↳ Julie @11:49 But a younger-than-90 one.
	🦇 11:50pm Julie: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:49 I do think he left his wife for his costar
	🦇 11:51pm Julie: ↳ Song: "Guilt" by "Chapterhouse" I hardly know these guys but I hear their name ALL the time
	11:51pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Julie @11:50 the gator...?
	🦇 11:51pm Julie: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:51 ha I thought we were talking about Paul
	11:51pm Roberto: Anyhu, I guess I had never heard Nick speak before, only sing.
	11:52pm Sunny: Damn I pretty much missed the show which makes me sad. Hope to catch it in the archives.
	🦇 11:52pm Julie: in fairness though I pay more sttention to bands with female vocals. which is why I've never got more into JAMC
	🦇 11:53pm Julie: ↳ Sunny @11:52 hiya Sunny. I think it was a decent one.
	11:54pm spodiodi: was great, Julie! thank you for being here
	11:54pm Roberto: My late father-in-law loved to quote that one line from Croc Dundee -- That's not a knife. THIS is a knife.
	🦇 11:54pm Julie: thanks for listening spodi!
	11:54pm Alex from Media: Gotta crash. Great show Julie! Gnite all.
	🦇 11:54pm Julie: ↳ Roberto @11:54 I think it became the dad joke
	11:54pm spodiodi: ↳ Roberto @11:54 i see you've played knifer-spooney before
	🦇 11:54pm Julie: nite Alex!
	11:54pm Roberto: Yes, sorry, all, for the sudden Australian turn in the comments.
	11:55pm spodiodi: knifey*
	🦇 11:55pm Julie: I had cut Lush but since someone brought them up but of course I picked a less gazey song to grab just now
	11:56pm northguineahills: Medicine! got here for the end!
	🦇 11:56pm Julie: thanks for listening everyone! I Hope some of you will be there next week for my new year's eve show (regular time)
	🦇 11:56pm Julie: ↳ northguineahills @11:56 glad you were able to get your dose
	11:56pm tom tom the pipers son: off color art school story... nude self portraits.. one student draws himself with an erection holding a kniofe teachert says you've renderered your tool rather nicely
	11:56pm northguineahills: thanks Julie, enjoy the holidays!
