It's Christmas Time, Again

Click the play button to listen

One of the bastards loves holiday music (Mike loves to flex his "knowledge-of-obscure-Xmas-tunes" muscles) and so the holiday episode has become an annual tradition. Luckily, every year at least a few jazz musicians put out a holiday album (if under duress) and archival and historical finds are always there to enjoy as well.
