Playlist For Sunday, Dec. 24th, 2023: Chocked-Full O'Christmas...simply Chocked!

Now! Now! Now...it's TIME. The Holidaze have descended. Das Tannenbaum ist UP. The poinsettias are pointing. Chestnuts are roasting (check the oven timer!), nog is getting more and more nogged, and the bank account has been shrink/shrank/shrunk to adequately provide for much gifting. Ready, set, go!

 


And that's what we're doing this Sunday. It's the Chocked-Full-of-Christmas Edition of 2 On The Aisle, and it's live, baby! I haven't had a Christmas Eve on a Sunday show EVER before. Seems like I'm often traveling to hinterlands afar on this holiday OR it falls on a Tuesday or something. But the stars have aligned (if not my bite) to allow for some Holiday Broadway (plus Holiday Hollywood and pop and Dr. Demento) to go LIVE on 2 On The Aisle. 

I cannot wait.





 

 


 

What do YOU do on Christmas Eve afternoon? Prep those 7 Fishes? Furiously wrap? String popcorn (man, am I old school)? Defrost? Truss a tur-duck-en? Well, any and all of those chores can be done to the tune of Jazz90.1. It might just make the toughest tur-duck-en truss easier. Lots of White Christmas tunes, Plaid Tidings, a bit of Babs, Leslie, The Dukes Of Hazzard (WT...???), Eartha, Pearl, Allan...they'll all show up.

 


All this to say, Happy and Merry and Cheers for a fantastic holiday, whatever you celebrate, and HOWEVER you celebrate. Thanks so much for a year of listening (and donating) to Jazz90.1...and may 2024 be all merry and bright (with Broadway lights) for YOU! :)
