As year number 32 comes to a close (yes I know I said year 33 in episode 1) I just want to say thank you to all who have been listening and supporting this little podcast throughout the years. It's hard to believe that I went from making a few cassettes to a bunch of CDs to making my own podcast. As I've said in the past, this is a labour of love for me. I understand that this is a pretty off the wall adventure. For me it was more about just showcasing Holiday music that you may not get to hear. It's my passion as well as a butt-ton of fun. Bringing each season to a close I look back and reflect on all of the efforts I put in. I know I don't have thousands of listeners but I'm always grateful for the ones I got.
Naturally none of this would be possible without the support of my family. I know they think I'm completely batshit crazy. But they know this is what I love to do. Thanks Corin & Amanda for always being there for me.
Year 33 is always lurking but for now let's get through this Holiday with a minimum amount of bloodshed. Thanks to all for listening. Here's hoping you have a Merry Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanza, Festivus or whatever you happen to be celebrating (or not) this time of year!
