2116- "I Saw Daddy Kissing Santa Claus" by Kip Addotto/Dr. Demento.
2119- OM says he hopes we enjoyed that song, IDs last song, and then IDs Pirate Radio Boston. "This is our holiday special." Next song is a dedication to a listener in Chelmsford, MA. Mention that this is the 2014 Christmas Special.
2120- "Mellow Mood" by Bob Marley.

Via a  recording.  Varies between "usable" and "unusable."   Weak signal, fading, noise, and QRM.  Their carrier appeared at 2057 and the program started at 2100.  Frequent IDs and an email address.
