The tapes you are about to hear are
largely unedited; you can now re-live the utter chaos just like you
were really there! (And
most likely you WERE!)
We all take turns introducing some unusual Christmas records and
occasionally breaking into song ourselves...
The only new original recording we played this year was
Robb’s “OAKLAND (WHITE) CHRISTMAS” (which features many Sheep within
it)...
