Playlist for December 19, 2000

Time again for the annual tradition of the T&T Holiday Show! The 20+ inches of snow on the ground in Michigan added to the ambiance as we trudged across the parking lot and into the studio. Kev even got in the spirit and baked some mighty tasty cookies. This year's show was further enhanced by giveaways, which were four hardcover copies of Merle Haggard's autobiography "My House of Memories". Any time we played a holiday classic by the Hag, the second caller won the book. A truckload of fun for all, and we even felt like Santa by the end of the show!
