Episode 0 - A Very Merry un-Xmas

Tuesday Nov 19, 2013
There has usually been a long standing rule in the YLFH household....No holiday music until after Thanksgiving. That's why the YLFH launches the day after T'day. However there has been some dissension among the ranks lately. The ladies of the household came up with a list that while have been long associated with the Christmas holiday season are not technically holiday songs (not Christmas, anyway). Since Thanksgiving is a week away...well you be the judge (some of these are really reaching...) feel free to debate...I'll just stand back (while I work on the new episode).
