	10:16pm Danne D: Happy Holidays EFD :) and Funk Fans :)
	10:16pm efd: yeah I just tried the Future Wife link from last year's playlist and it didn't work. I'll try to find out if it's still posted somewhere.
	10:17pm Barkevious Shabazz: Dag.
	10:17pm efd: oh and thx for the Charlie's Hand Movements tip - will check it out for next year!
	10:19pm xmasunderground: They are amazing - have a ton of absolutely great Christmas tunes.
	10:20pm Kat in Chicago: I found it on somebody's SoundCloud soundcloud.com...
	10:21pm xmasunderground: @Kat in Chicago! YES!!
	10:22pm Kat in Chicago: Prolly isn't supposed to be there but I couldn't find an "official" link.
	10:24pm xmasunderground: Facebook is trying to make everyone pay to have their posts show up...
	10:25pm Kat in Chicago: FB page views are so random. I get 150 one week and 5 the next for no good reason.
	10:26pm efd: yeah, I know they're trying to make people pay, and I get that all 1200 people who like the page are never all going to see a single post, but 4 PVs is just wacky
	10:26pm efd: nice find, Kat!
	10:27pm Kat in Chicago: I have pretty good search fu
	10:27pm Uncle Michael: Season's Greetings alla youse.
	10:29pm efd: likewise Uncle Michael!
	10:31pm Uncle Michael: I'm going to be all in shortly. I just wanted to check in before listening to the rest of the program in the dark.
	10:31pm Ken From Hyde Park: The way that whip is cracking, the sleigh horse is going to turn around and bite these guys.

	10:32pm Kat in Chicago: Thanks for checking in Uncle Michael, I like seeing the Pufnstuf gif
	10:32pm Barkevious Shabazz: Reindeer are Wild-Thee Headcoats
	10:33pm Uncle Michael: He's my spirit guide.
	10:35pm Uncle Michael: Maya Rudolph did a nice job with this on A Very Murray Christmas.

	10:38pm Uncle Michael: Sadly, no.
	10:39pm herb.nyc: I saw the Future Wife woman (name?)'s play at the Public Theater 2,3yrs ago. A very eclectic person she be.

	10:42pm Kat in Chicago: Happy to help!
	10:47pm Barkevious Shabazz: Pronounced Bla-vitt. The geator with the heater.
	10:51pm JakeGould: @KatinChicago: Facebook is basically taking advantage of a flaw in their system in the early days where some posts were slow to show up for others. So someone who counts beans says, “Hey! They want to read a post then maybe it’s like random if you don’t pay but guaranteed if you do pay.” Crass. Also a few weeks back I said that Facebook putting Paris flags on user’s avatars was just a dry run towards some ad model. And now with the new “Star Wars” out, what happens? Unless of course Facebook is paying homage to all those lost in those “Star Wars.” If that’s the case, kudos for caring about the Jedi and the people they protected.
	10:51pm Ken From Hyde Park: That sounds highly like Thurl Ravenscroft.
	10:54pm efd: yeah, a very good likeness!
	10:55pm efd: now you've got me wondering if Thurl is related to Raphael.
	10:55pm Kat in Chicago: @Jake I laughed out loud at that Star Wars comment!
	10:58pm Kat in Chicago: @steve do you know of any noiselife-type Xmas content? I need some for my Monday show.
	11:00pm Ike: Hi folks. Anybody else using Pickle Cat for their avatar? Am I the only one?
	11:02pm cee: gloria estefan cameo. my night is complete
	11:02pm Kat in Chicago: Oh lord, I don't remember this one from previous shows.
	11:04pm efd: only played in 2010 before tonight!
	11:05pm Santapalooza: Great show, Evan!
	11:09pm xmasunderground: Hi Santapalooza!
	11:11pm JakeGould: @KatinChicago: Ha! Yes! But I have to thank other Facebook friends for coming up with that joke. Planned Parenthood gets defunded, Facebook makes avatars pink. Paris attacks happen, French flag on avatars. A major motion picture that will be shitting money in a day or so is about to get released? Well, just put a lightsaber on icons to memorialize… What? Feh. Enough grousing.
	11:12pm Santapalooza: Hey Xmas Underground! Glad you're enjoying the show.
	11:16pm KP: For the Hollandaise!
	11:18pm JakeGould: @EFD: Thanks again for the “Basement 5!”

	11:23pm Danne D: YES!
	11:25pm Danne D: The....Claus!!!!!
	11:27pm Danne D: :)
	11:30pm Ajax: Hanson wins again!! Great find.
	11:36pm efd: There are nine other songs on that Hanson CD and I have no idea what any of them sound like.
	11:36pm Danne D: lol
	11:47pm Chris Sims: That "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" swerve gets me every year, even when I know it's coming.
	11:49pm efd: one of these years I'll play it for you, Chris.
	11:55pm KP: Merry Christmas everybody!
	11:56pm Danne D: Thanks for a wonderful Holiday show as always Evan :) Merry Christmas to you and Merry Christmas to all of the Funk Faithful :D
	11:57pm Danne D: HARRY!!! What a way to end it :D
	11:57pm efd: thanks for listening, everybody. Merry Christmas and happy holidays!
