12/25/11 — Christmas edition & the year-end wrapup

2011 was an intense year for music. And I like to think it’s fate that this sucker for Christmas songs had her last show of 2011 fall out on the big day. The first hour was entirely alternative Christmas music, and I threw my top albums of the year into the mix during the second half. See you in 2012!
