S7 here with a Christmas Rap tune at 1414 UTC
1416 UTC OM with Channel Z ID mentioning Christmas Special, into a song by "2 lovely English ladies"
(Audio is excellent and the signal is very good with some light fading)

Have to run an errand, so will leave the recorder running and pick up the slack later on  :)

Sorry I missed this one. That Patti Smith Group drop of "White Christmas" is as rare as hen's teeth.

I've got "Christmas in Hollis" stuck in my head regardless of the season. A great song and a better video. The elf in the vid alone makes it a must watch.
