Wishing all of our listeners a very Happy Xmas, Hanukah, Winter Solstice, Saturnalia, Winterval, Festivus, Chrismakah, Kwanzaa, Moon-Kwanzaa and Decemberween.
Yes, for this week’s show we’ve pulled together musical celebrations for as many types of mid-winter festival as we could, including several that don’t even exist.
Are there any factual, counter-factual, hypothetical or entirely fictional festivals we should have mentioned?
