Merry Xmas from Bob Dylan

In what is now a yearly ritual to get me in the spirit, listening to Bob Dylan's excellent Xmas show (from Season 1 of his sadly missed Theme Time Radio Hour) is a must. Besides playing everything from early Bob Seger to Celia Cruz; you must hear Dylan's 4 minute reading of Clement Moore's "The Night Before Christmas". If this does not get you into the holiday spirit, then you are a true Grinch!

Peace on Earth and Goodwill toward all!
