Last night was my third annual Indiepop Xmas Show, though less "pop" than
usual this year, partly due to listener demand. Hell, I hate playing the
same old songs year after year anyway. ;) Anything with a Xmas, winter or
"holiday" theme was fair game.

Over two years of hunting for holiday-themed recordings has obviously paid
off, as I had so many records this time around I extended my show to two and
a half hours. (I was the last DJ on, so I could do that.) Here we go...
