Listener comments!
	12:10am Matt from Springfield: LOVE this BB Xmas song!! I love that about Brian Wilson production anyway, what I call the "sleigh bells on the beach" vibe. HI Therese! Hi listeners! Happy holiday season to everyone!
	12:11am Matt from Springfield: Are we going to get the scratchy "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town" organ bed music tonight? I look forward to that every December now! :)
	12:14am Hoboken Jack: Hello Therese. Hello all. Good tidings.
	12:14am JakeGould: Maybe we’ll hear that song about Paul McCartney simply having a wonderful Christmas time?
	12:15am Matt from Springfield: Love the simplicity of that song. And that's enough.
	12:18am cheri: seasons greetings to therese and all! I just love the holidays!
	12:25am Matt from Springfield: +10 for this interp of "Holiday Road"!
	12:27am cheri: my all time favorite Christmas tune is " do they know it's Christmas" by band aid
	12:29am Matt from Springfield: Johnny Largo on the Optigon! That's it! As long as it's this artist, and really scratchy, I'm DIGGIN it!
	12:32am sugarplum fairywolf: Helllooo
	12:32am Matt from Springfield: Funky Fresh Fine Fellows, all. Heya sugarplum fairywolf!
	12:34am MONEYBAG$: I heard a cover of Wonderful Christmastime in Wegmans earlier that made me appreciate the original more
	12:44am cheri: well therese, I'm out of here, merry Christmas to one and all!
	12:46am Jeff in HI: Happy Holidays everybody, Happy Holidays Therese. Me and my girl listen every Sunday evening together as a tradition. Always great.
	12:47am Ken From Hyde Park: I'm excited to hear if Devon E. Levins will have some music from the Krampus movie on Morricone Island.
	12:54am Matt from Springfield: Dick Van Dyke is still alive - and just turned 90! They even had a "Step In Time" flash mob in L.A. as a present: www.dailymail.co.uk...
	12:55am Matt from Springfield: Hey, spoken Jamesbrownese.
	12:57am Matt from Springfield: Go Drummer Doug!
	12:59am JakeGould: Dick Van Dyke is currently dicking the dyke of a lady who is 46 years younger than him. Talk about Chutzpah!
	1:00am Matt from Springfield: Jake, that was...necessary, actually. In two years she'll be half his age!
	1:06am JakeGould: Not too sure about the time parallax between Dick Van Dyke and his lady friends but I trust your judgement on this.
	1:13am Matt from Springfield: "Amphetamine Reptile Records" - perfect label name for this B-52ish band.
	1:15am JakeGould: @Therese: I see what you did there.
	1:16am Matt from Springfield: Mothersbaugh! The man.
	1:24am Matt from Springfield: BIG STAR!! Such a nice one for Christmas here.
	1:27am Matt from Springfield: Is this Jingleberries a Bob Rivers project??..
	1:33am Bob in DC and/or Virginia: This show has been unspeakably brilliant. You've outdone yourself, Therese.
	1:34am Matt from Springfield: I agree Bob! Especially like this Power Pop Xmas block now!!
	1:35am Therese: Pshaw! I am a conduit of holiday joy.
	1:39am Matt from Springfield: The conduit's going full-blast! Thanks Therese!!
	1:40am victorwooten: Woooooo Therese wooooo
	1:40am JakeGould: I hope everyone had a very warm and oddly comfortable Eight night of Hanukkah tonight!
	1:43am Matt from Springfield: I was unaware of that, though I was comfortable tonight (oddly).
	1:44am JakeGould: I ran out tonight to get a midnight snack from the corner store and I could have worn just a t-shirt instead of just a light sweater.
	1:46am Matt from Springfield: I know! It's crazy warm down here as well! Possibly a record warm. I drank from a newly-opened bottle of Bowmore 12 year old Scotch tonight, so I'll toast L'chaim!
	1:47am Matt from Springfield: I prob would've stuck with the end of The Philadelphia Story (1940), that's a long time fave.
	1:47am JakeGould: @Matt: It’s a Mitzvah!
	1:50am Matt from Springfield: Na zdrovje, Jake!
	1:50am JakeGould: @Therese: I am looking forward to seeing if Chewbacca (1) wears a jacket or (2) rips somebody’s arm off in the new “Star Wars.”
	1:52am Matt from Springfield: A vest-jacket, right? Open front, with the arms exposed? And yes, single-gesture arm-rips would definitely seal the deal.
	1:54am JakeGould: @MattfromSpringfield: I don’t know what kind of jacket Chewbacca might wear, but I want him in a jacket. And I here the way he rips an arm off is Rey (the girl) gets her gun taken away from her by some alien, and Chewbacca rips off the alien’s arm and gives her the arm with the gun back. If that happens… I’m screaming!
	1:54am Therese: I thought that Wookiies only ripped arms off if they lose at space chess?
	1:55am Matt from Springfield: Oooh! Is this from a Joe McG "Joe" premium?
	1:57am JakeGould: @Therese: Yeah, they said that in the first movie but maybe it’s space chess related. Like Rey is playing space chess, she wins, an alien gets pissed and takes her gun and Chewbacca growls and rips the arm off. It’s completely conceivable.
	1:57am Therese: It is! Joe McGasko makes awesome Christmas compilations.
	1:59am Matt from Springfield: Woohoo! Joe McG has great taste anyhow, glad he included a good soul cut for his comp! I look forward to such Chewy justice.
	2:01am JakeGould: @Matt: In one scene in the trailers, Chewbacca clearly has a new messenger bag and in one scene a bandage on his right arm. So hey.
	2:02am slowbear: just watched the "Anti-Cheese Edit" for phantom menace. still a boring ass movie.
	2:03am JakeGould: @Therese: You are going to deny your nephew that extended Sy Snootles blues bar yacht rock sequence in the revamped “Return of the Jedi.”
	2:03am JakeGould: @slowbear: Yup. The whole premises of those prequels are just wretched. None can stand on their own.
	2:04am Matt from Springfield: GARBAGE prequels!! Step AWAY from the set and the editor booth, George!!
	2:04am slowbear: People pleaded with George Lucas to make them less stupid, but he wouldn't listen. He's like, "kids love this shit," but they're like, "no you are the only one that loves this shit."
	2:05am Matt from Springfield: Yes-----this is closest FMU has to a sentimental annual Christmas tradition!
	2:06am slowbear: Oh damn this song is getting me SO DOWN for the holly-daze
	2:06am Therese: He's seen the re-vamped version PLENTY of times, @JakeGould
	2:06am pacific standard simon: What's up, pup? I've been playing Christmas music at work for two weeks already. The boss threatened my life.
	2:07am Matt from Springfield: The "Happy Xmas" single b/w this is prob the greatest John/Yoko single pairing ever. In terms of context it's as good as any John/Paul Beatles 45. "Happy Xmas" b/w "Snow is Falling" "War Is Over" b/w "Peace Is Here" War Is Over (If You Want It) b/w Peace Is Here (If You Want It) It's beautiful, i tell ya! :D
	2:09am JakeGould: I actually sat down this past summer to write down some childhood memories and wrote down my memories of seeing all of the original “Star Wars” films in a movie theater. My memories of “Return of the Jedi” were basically… “What is this crap?” The second that guy with the head tentacles (Bib Fortuna) met R2-D2 and C3P0 in Jabba’s palace and said, “De wanga wanga” I couldn’t take the film seriously anymore. youtu.be...
	2:10am JakeGould: @Therese: Good work deprogramming him! Remember to tell him the Ewoks celebrated by singing, “Yub Nub.” www.youtube.com...
	2:11am pacific standard simon: If I should die before I wake Santa, I pray, my soul don't take!
	2:12am (Eyepatch) Fox: Christmas Day of the Robot is totally my new favorite Christmas song!
	2:12am Matt from Springfield: Esquivel's Bachelor Pad! Razz-matazz!
	2:12am pacific standard simon: The Three Suns are pretty awesome on Xmas, too.
	2:13am (Eyepatch) Fox: (I'd have written that earlier, but I was putting up Christmas decorations!)
	2:16am muwf: ya if you can't goggle on your 10yr old worldview return the popcorn. Each and every StarWars flicker - including that Chewbacca Christmas TV Special Miracle — is bigger than Jesus
	2:18am JakeGould: I’m also looking forward to the Winter solstice on the 22nd. Sick of these 4:30pm sunsets.
	2:18am Matt from Springfield: OMG YES! Never heard of this Loretta song! Lay into that fat man!
	2:19am slowbear: omg don't move closer
	2:19am pacific standard simon: Santa got a DWI.
	2:21am JakeGould: Santa got a hummer from a reindeer.
	2:22am slowbear: everyone who has ever told me not to do drugs has been a total creep
	2:22am pacific standard simon: Walking home from our house Christmas Eve.
	2:23am Matt from Springfield: You played this one last year. So to bring up my research again from last year: "For all-important Cowsills family info, this page is pretty up-to-date and comprehensive: bapresley.com... Evidently, Marissa is Bob Cowsill's daughter, Susan's niece..." As opposed to her own daughter named "Miranda".
	2:24am Matt from Springfield: FATHER CHRISTMAS!!!! Wooooooohoooooooooo!!! :D
	2:24am JakeGould: @slowbear: It took me years to realize that doing drugs itself wasn’t a bad thing mainly because 100% everyone I knew growing up who even smoked pot really grew into full blown addicts are just plain old losers. Now I know you can be a speed freak and own a Wall Street firm!
	2:26am pacific standard simon: It'd be fum to see Ray sing this live, methinks.
	2:28am pacific standard simon: Thank heaven you're not following up with the Jethro Tull Christmas song.
	2:38am Kurt Gottschalk: THERESE IS NOT AFRAYED TO PLAY THE HITS!
	2:38am Ken From Hyde Park: My lucky good news for Christmas is that on Sunday afternoon, I found the 24V transformer that powers the fiber-optic tabletop decoration. No need to go off to Radio Shack to try to find a new one.
	2:41am pacific standard simon: It's warmer on the East Coast than it is on the West Coast. Weird.
	2:46am JakeGould: @Ken: Do you mean 24 Volts? Or 24 Watts? Because as far as tons of consumer computer tech goods go, it seems tons of AC adapters are 12 Volts at 2 Amps… Aka… 24 Watts. You could probably go to any thrift store and rifle through the cable and transformer bin to find at least one 12 Volt/2 Amp AC adapter.
	2:47am pacific standard simon: Have yourself a Daws Butler Christmas.
	2:51am BadGuyZero: Hiya from Philadelphia!
	2:51am Ken From Hyde Park: @Jake - It's 24VAC at 2 Amps. The part that puzzles me is how the tree part of decoration was in its box up in the attic and the transformer was in a pile of random electronics down in the basement. At least they're reunited now and I can make sure they stay together for next year.
	2:51am Matt from Springfield: It's in every one of us!
	2:52am pacific standard simon: Love that bit where the Cookie Monster asks Santa for cookies for Christmas, then has to deal with the fact that people traditionally leave cookies for Santa.
	2:56am pacific standard simon: Hail Krampus!
	2:57am Matt from Springfield: Hey Philly Boy Zero! If you haven't listened to all this show, check the Archive! Therese always does Xmas shows GREAT!
	2:57am JakeGould: @KenFromHydePark: Well, maybe 48 Watts makes sense for a lamp, but still.
	2:57am Ken From Hyde Park: NOAA map of the lower 48 showing the historically normal chances of a white Christmas. gizmodo.com... See you in a couple weeks, Therese. Wishing you a Merry Christmas!
	2:58am BadGuyZero: @Matt: I'm planning on listening to the archive later today. I can't wait to hear what I missed.
	2:58am Matt from Springfield: Thanks so much Therese! I always enjoy these shows! Have a happy (and not stressful) holiday season! Same goes to all youse in the WFMUniverse! Merry Happy!
	2:59am pacific standard simon: Haven't had snow in over a year. Unusual.
	2:59am Matt from Springfield: @BGZ: Excellent, you'll enjoy it too! @Ken HP: Spatial statistics, nice find, thanks!
	3:00am pacific standard simon: Hell no -- it's midnight!

So to bring up my research again from last year: "For all-important Cowsills family info, this page is pretty up-to-date and comprehensive: bapresley.com... Evidently, Marissa is Bob Cowsill's daughter, Susan's niece..." As opposed to her own daughter named "Miranda".
	2:24am Matt from Springfield: FATHER CHRISTMAS!!!! Wooooooohoooooooooo!!! :D
	2:24am JakeGould: @slowbear: It took me years to realize that doing drugs itself wasn’t a bad thing mainly because 100% everyone I knew growing up who even smoked pot really grew into full blown addicts are just plain old losers. Now I know you can be a speed freak and own a Wall Street firm!
	2:26am pacific standard simon: It'd be fum to see Ray sing this live, methinks.
	2:28am pacific standard simon: Thank heaven you're not following up with the Jethro Tull Christmas song.
	2:38am Kurt Gottschalk: THERESE IS NOT AFRAYED TO PLAY THE HITS!
	2:38am Ken From Hyde Park: My lucky good news for Christmas is that on Sunday afternoon, I found the 24V transformer that powers the fiber-optic tabletop decoration. No need to go off to Radio Shack to try to find a new one.
	2:41am pacific standard simon: It's warmer on the East Coast than it is on the West Coast. Weird.
	2:46am JakeGould: @Ken: Do you mean 24 Volts? Or 24 Watts? Because as far as tons of consumer computer tech goods go, it seems tons of AC adapters are 12 Volts at 2 Amps… Aka… 24 Watts. You could probably go to any thrift store and rifle through the cable and transformer bin to find at least one 12 Volt/2 Amp AC adapter.
	2:47am pacific standard simon: Have yourself a Daws Butler Christmas.
	2:51am BadGuyZero: Hiya from Philadelphia!
	2:51am Ken From Hyde Park: @Jake - It's 24VAC at 2 Amps. The part that puzzles me is how the tree part of decoration was in its box up in the attic and the transformer was in a pile of random electronics down in the basement. At least they're reunited now and I can make sure they stay together for next year.
	2:51am Matt from Springfield: It's in every one of us!
	2:52am pacific standard simon: Love that bit where the Cookie Monster asks Santa for cookies for Christmas, then has to deal with the fact that people traditionally leave cookies for Santa.
	2:56am pacific standard simon: Hail Krampus!
	2:57am Matt from Springfield: Hey Philly Boy Zero! If you haven't listened to all this show, check the Archive! Therese always does Xmas shows GREAT!
	2:57am JakeGould: @KenFromHydePark: Well, maybe 48 Watts makes sense for a lamp, but still.
	2:57am Ken From Hyde Park: NOAA map of the lower 48 showing the historically normal chances of a white Christmas. gizmodo.com... See you in a couple weeks, Therese. Wishing you a Merry Christmas!
	2:58am BadGuyZero: @Matt: I'm planning on listening to the archive later today. I can't wait to hear what I missed.
	2:58am Matt from Springfield: Thanks so much Therese! I always enjoy these shows! Have a happy (and not stressful) holiday season! Same goes to all youse in the WFMUniverse! Merry Happy!
	2:59am pacific standard simon: Haven't had snow in over a year. Unusual.
	2:59am Matt from Springfield: @BGZ: Excellent, you'll enjoy it too! @Ken HP: Spatial statistics, nice find, thanks!
	3:00am pacific standard simon: Hell no -- it's midnight!
