  12:18pm
SteveF:

Ok Van - now i get it - I have not had my morning coffee yet...I thought you meant the first two songs were Chrtistmas-sy.....sorry....
  12:21pm
Irene:

Happy Krimble, everybody! Hoping to get our holidays off to a peaceful start.
  12:25pm
SteveF:

Happy Krimble to you and yours as well, Irene!
  12:28pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

I will have to google Krimble...I have never heard of that one!
  12:31pm
Irene:

Happy Krimble was a John Lennon-ism from the Beatles Christmas messages to fans. Wish I'd remembered to bring it today. Maybe in the WFMU library?
  12:32pm
SteveF:

That would be cool to hear.......again
  12:35pm
Looms:

Hello there!
  12:37pm
Brian in UK:

Hello Irene & chums. I'm all for foxhunting after eight of our chickens were killed by them.
  12:38pm
SteveF:

You have (had) chickens...how cool!
  12:40pm
Brian in UK:

Got more now SteveF, these are in our back garden. The others were on the allotment. Ex-batteries chooks. Trying to give them a bit of peace & some fresh eggs into the bargain.
  12:42pm
glenn:

the umspeakable in hot pursuit of the inedible.
  12:43pm
glenn:

oops. unspeakable.
  12:44pm
Brian in UK:

Hello glenn.
  12:51pm
Brian in UK:

The Beatles used to record a record!! for their fan club every Christmas if memory serves. Guess that's where the Krimble originates. Though John Lennon's poetry books probably contain similar styles. Bit like Spike Milligan.

  2:17pm
Sean Gostage:

SteveF, I don't normally purchase Christmas albums but "Prayer for Peace" for £3.30 from Amazon was just too good to be true andthe album has "Silent Night". Sorry, Irene and listeners, I don't want to turn the comment list into Ebay or anything but I am just blown away by that track.
  2:20pm
Van in Dallas:

@obsidian pond - go to Google and type in "let it snow" and hit enter :)
