Christmas Update for 9.3.11

 

What a week it's been. First Hurricane Irene tuns my basement into Kringle's Pond and now comes news that The King of Jingaling himself is taking a holiday hiatus from Falalalala. Hopefully he'll come back soon, fully recharged and as merry as ever but whatever happens I can't thank him enough for all he's given to the Christmas sharity community through both his amazing shares of rare and wonderful music and for maintining the very best holiday music forum on all the intertubes.
