Have yourself a merry little Christmas at the radio station

Last Sunday was my Christmas show on radio. My co-host Thomas and I had Christmas cookies, gingerbread, mulled wine, some shots, and of course champagne in the studio. Ignoring the many signs on every door that say "No food or drinks in any studio EVER!!!". I mean, you can't eat or drink while talking, but during the songs it's just nice. We're always having champagne, but this time it was a nice christmas celebration.

We played Chistmas songs exclusively, from Doris Day, Wham, ABBA, Barbra Streisand, Boney M., and many others. By the way, do you know any other common Christmas song that contains the word "gay", except the one mentioned in the title?

This show was so much fun. A local band (five lesbians) stopped by for a short interview and played and sung a song live in the studio. We also had some other guests in the studio, e.g. the singer who played the mother in our radio comedy soap-opera, and of course we aired this episode. We had a blast. Probably due to some alcoholic beverages we started to sing along with the songs, and, of course, we made sure to broadcast our singing as well. This was also our two year anniversary show, and we got nice feedback from some of our listeners. One wrote in an email that he drives one hour in his car each week to get into the area of transmission. I replied that we're also having a internet stream. In fact, our most loyal listener is living in South Africa and listens our show to learn German--which probably isn't a good idea because I have a bold swabian accent.

The guy who's working the shift after our show laughed when he entered the studio to take over, because the studio was filled with a bold smell of mulled wine. We pribed him with champagne and some cookies. I hope the cookies got along well with the beer he brought for himself. Oh, sunday nights at the station are wonderful: peaceful and quiet. By the way, I pray that my bosses don't read my blog. :-)
