It's the most wonderful time of the year! When music is playing and Michael is saying, "Now listen to this!" It's the most wonderful time of the year!!!

By the Grace of God I have found myself in charge of the most important show of the whole year, and I plan to deliver so much Christmas cheer in the course of an hour that you'll need to drink a whole gallon of eggnog to recover.

What I mean to say is that show founder and head honcho Matt "I'm Too Cool to Stay in Fairfield for Christmas" Mullenneaux has vacated the premises, having packed up the family and headed down to sunny Florida (or rainy Florida, depending on your luck). While he's living it up on the beach with his extended family, I'll be drudging through wind, slush, and ice to dutifully bring you what you want, and do not doubt for a moment that I know exactly what you want.

 With some help from My Main Man Matt (M4 for short), I have put together an eclectic mix of Christmas music that is sure to please some and nauseate others. If you like every single song on my playlist then you're just plain weird, but what else is new? For the rest of you, I hope I can at least reach the 2/3 approval mark, which is probably about the proportion of these songs that I actually want to hear.

Whoa! That was a bit of brutal honesty, but if "A Reasonable Alternative" is known for anything it's straight-talk: you'll get no political jibber-jabber here.

 So why don't you just do us all a big favor and go ahead and tune in tonight from 8:00 - 9:00. You know you want to.
