Time Text
Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen.
We move on ever closer to the Christmas weekend.
Rush Limboy here, a Christmas Eve, Eve, Eve.
It's Friday.
You know what that means.
Live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida.
It's Open Line Friday.
You heard from UPS yet?
Why don't nobody, nobody ever does what they say they're going to do.
Except me.
Twice this week, they have lost my delayed packages.
Supposed to get something crucial today.
It didn't get to their sort center until 10.30.
And they, of course, can't deliver it today or tomorrow.
They told me they can't get it here until the 26th, which doesn't work.
So we've been on the phone trying to arrange so if we can go pick it up.
Hell, I shouldn't have just sent the airplane to L.A. last night to get it.
It's a minor problem, but just frustrating.
People, hey, say they told us they're going to call us by one o'clock to say, yeah, here it is.
You come pick it up.
And then they made no effort to put it on one of their vans and get it to us.
I know they're busy.
But geez.
Anyway, welcome back, folks.
800-282-2882.
That's fast action.
They just called.
Oh, it's not them.
Okay.
Well, they haven't called.
Not fast action.
800-282-2882.
If you want to be on the program, the email address is rush at EIBNet.com.
There's a new term.
I want you to get ready for a new term here regarding illegal immigrants.
Most of the year, very little happens at the Free Trade Bridge in Los Indios, Texas, one of the most remote and least used international crossings on the southwest border.
But during the holidays, the crossing bustles with Central American immigrants from various U.S. communities who trek across with secondhand cars and other goods they plan to sell once they get back to their homeland.
The holidays are the hottest time, said Javier Pacheco, 42-year-old Honduran.
Nobody wants to get home before Christmas.
For four years, this bridge has been the only one to accept these trans migrants, so named for the visa given them by Mexican officials for a beeline some 1,500 miles through Mexico.
So trans migrants is another name you're going to have to add to your lexicon out there when dealing with the whole subject of illegal immigration.
From Chicago, with Christmas fast approaching, Elvira Arellano dispatched her eight-year-old son to Washington to plead her case and that of other immigrant families who fear being torn apart by deportation.
The Mexican-born Arellano 31 cannot go herself because she'd been fighting a deportation order since August from inside a Chicago church where she has imprisoned herself, invoking the ancient medieval protection of sanctuary.
According to the Pew Hispanic Center, there are 2 million families in the U.S. with mixed status.
Anyway, it's one sob story after another today at Christmastime on the plight of the poor illegal immigrants and just how difficult it is.
And it's made all the much harder because cold-hearted and cruel Americans get really cold-hearted and steel-hearted and cold at Christmas time and don't understand that they're just human beings trying to feed their families.
From San Francisco, senior California Democrat proposed yesterday that employers pay To expand health care coverage to all uninsured children in the state, including those of illegal immigrants.
This is taking Prop 187 and throwing it right back down the throats of the people that voted for it.
This guy is basically saying to all of you in California who voted for Prop 17, if you remember what Prop 87 was, Prop 87 was a California ballot initiative.
It said, we're not going to pay health care and benefits and education for the children of illegals.
And it passed overwhelmingly, and a federal judge said, you can't do that.
It's unconstitutional.
I have more power than you do.
And now the California Democrat here that has proposed this is Democrat Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez.
He unveiled his plan to extend health care coverage to uninsured children by requiring employers to pay for insurance or to have them pay a fee to the state if they don't pay for the insurance.
Firms with fewer than two employees.
So that means the self-employed.
Firms with fewer than two employees or with an annual payroll of $100,000 or less, and small businesses open for less than three years would be excluded.
Arnold Schwarzenegger, the moderate Republican governor, called Nunez's plan a significant contribution to the healthcare debate.
We all agree the current system's broken and it needs to be fixed, Schwarzenegger said in a statement.
So if you have an annual payroll of less than $100,000 in California, or if you have fewer than two employees, you're exempt.
I mean, it's not fun, but it is.
Every time I go to California, what are we going to do, Rush?
He says, you're stuck.
I'm leaving tonight.
And you are, you're pretty much stuck here.
Arizona has ended Nevada's 19-year reign as the nation's fastest-growing state, fueled by trans migrants.
I'm just trying to get up speed here.
Fueled by immigrants and Americans moving from other states.
At the other end of the scale, Louisiana lost nearly 220,000 people, more than any other state, in the year following Hurricane Katrina, which means President Bush succeeded in busting up the Democrat majority of the state of Louisiana by getting so many people out of Louis.
Well, that's what the Med Cap left thinks.
All right, you've probably heard, I'm sure you have, of the ongoing controversy here between Virgil Good from Virginia and Keith Ellison, who is the first Muslim elected to Congress.
He wants to use the Koran when he is sworn in.
Let's go to Audio Soundbites 7, 8, 9, and 10 here.
You've got to hear this.
Last night on your world, Neil Cavuto's show, hosted by David Asman, Virgil Good appeared.
Asmund said, Look, I'm quoting from the letter that you wrote.
If American citizens don't wake up and adopt the Virgil Good position on immigration, there will likely be many more Muslims elected to office and demanding use of the Koran.
Now, first of all, what is your position on immigration?
We need to totally stop illegal immigration, reduce legal immigration, and do away with diversity visas.
The diversity visa program is one that was instituted about a decade ago to increase the number of visas and immigrants from persons not from the European countries.
And the diversity visa program lets in about 50,000 persons per year.
They are from different countries, a number from the Middle East.
There are also some terrorist states that are included in the diversity visa programs.
Assmond then said, well, now, specifically with regard to your comments about Keith Ellison bringing a Koran into the swearing-in ceremony, as I understand it, you don't actually put your hand on a Bible as you're officially being sworn in.
Is that correct?
That's correct.
I've been sworn in five times now, and everyone that I saw simply raised their hand and took the oath of office to uphold the Constitution and the laws of the United States.
Right.
What I said in my letter was that I would be bringing the Bible to the swearing-in letter.
I did not subscribe to the Koran, and I would not be bringing the Koran into the chamber or swearing in on it on a ceremonial oath taking.
Final question from David Asherwell: Would you prohibit Mr. Ellison?
Would you prohibit him from bringing a Quran into that ceremony?
If the voters of that district want persons that are going to swear by the Quran, that's the choice of the voters of that district.
But I believe that the overwhelming majority of voters in my district would prefer the use of the Bible if a book is used, and that is exactly what I'm going to do.
Well, that may well be true.
But again, just to put a fine point on it, you are not then for prohibiting Mr. Ellison from bringing in a Koran.
No, but I am for restricting immigration so that we don't have a majority of Muslims elected to the United States House of Representatives.
Well, there you go.
Now you got to the nut of it there.
That's Virgil Good from Virginia.
And he's not backing down, by the way, from this.
He said Thursday he's not going to retract a letter warning that unless immigration is tightened, many more Muslims will be elected and use the Koran to take the oath of office.
This leads to a response from Ellison.
He was on the situation room with Wolf Blitzer.
The question was this: What's been the reaction to you becoming the first Muslim elected to Congress, specifically your decision that in your personal private ceremony you'll be sworn in on the Koran?
When I'm officially sworn in, I will do it the same exact way as every other Congressperson elect who was sworn in.
We will all stand up and in unison lift our hand and swear to uphold that Constitution.
And then later, in a private ceremony, of course I'll put my hand on a book that is the basis of my faith, which is Islam.
And I think that this is a beauty.
This is a wonderful thing for our country because Jewish members will put their hands on the Torah.
Mormon members will put their hand on the Book of Mormon.
Catholic members will put their hand on the book of their choice.
And members who don't want to put their hand on any book are also fully free to do that.
That's the American way.
Doesn't sound like that's the big beef here.
It sounds like what's gotten everybody fired up is Virgil Good saying, I am for restricting immigration so that we don't have a majority of Muslims elected to the United States House of Representatives.
He's voiced a concern that many Americans have.
Probably don't have the courage to say it.
But his, well, my own staff, even in the spirit of Christmas, sees fit to argue with me.
That's why he's afraid of it becoming Europe.
They have their lax immigration standards over there.
He's precise.
That's the point that he's trying to convey, as I understand it.
If we don't get a handle on immigration, we are going to end up like Europe.
And if you don't think that there are a lot of people who think like that, then that's why you're screening and why I'm hosting, because you are out of touch.
Here I get this.
Story out of New Orleans.
On the eve of taking control of Congress, Democrats are interested in forming an investigative panel similar to the 9-11 Commission to investigate who was responsible for the levees that broke during Hurricane Katrina and to probe the government's efforts to repatriate and rebuild this devastated city.
The commission is being referred to as the 829 Commission after the date Katrina hit the Gulf Coast in 2005.
Next week, presidential contender John the Breck Girl Edwards plans on announcing his bid for the White House in New Orleans.
Another indication that Katrina may be making a comeback onto the main stage of Americans' politics.
Donna Brazile, a Democrat strategist, said Democrats will make Katrina a priority because there are still so many problems on the Gulf Coast 15 months after Katrina hit.
Now, you know what this is going to be?
I mean, the Democrats are going to put this committee together.
Now, I have no doubt that they will do this.
The 829 Commission.
And it will be.
Bush caused the hurricane.
Bush caused the levees to break.
Bush wanted New Orleans to be disrupted, all the damage to happen, and for the citizens of New Orleans, who are primarily Democrats, to flee.
And that will be their starting point.
I mean, they'll never say it in the words I just did, but that's why else have a commission?
The 829 Commission.
My God, we're going to have a commission for every damn date of the year.
Time these people are finished.
John in Blue Springs, Missouri, outside Kansas City.
Hello.
Grush, I have a question for you.
Are you related to Stephen Jay Limbaugh, Missouri Supreme Court Justice?
I cannot say.
You cannot say?
No, in the interests of protecting the reputations and images of anyone in this country named Limbaugh, I disavow being related to any of them.
Well, I know your brother David quite well through all of his.
I don't have a brother.
That's a rumor.
That's a myth.
I'm just no.
Anybody else out there named Limbaugh, it's pure coincidence.
They have nothing to do with me.
I'm not going to sit here and allow my supposed relationship to them end up destroying them.
Well, if you're supposedly related to Stephen Limbaugh, let me just say that he's the only person on the Missouri Supreme Court who has a fully functioning brain.
Well, in that case, he is my cousin.
Oh, okay.
Now, Steve, my uncle is a federal judge in St. Louis.
Ah.
And it's his son, Stephen Jr., who is my cousin, who used to be the chief judge of the Missouri Supreme Court.
It's a rotating position.
He was the sole vote.
I forget the.
It was the voter bill that we had here before the election.
Right, right.
Oh, the voter ID bill.
He was in a six-to-one vote.
He was the lone vote that was correct on the law and correct on logic and everything else.
Well, I think everybody was probably feeling sorry for Michael J. Fox at the time on the Supreme Court then.
I don't think that had anything.
There's a voter ID bill.
And everybody knows who Michael Fox is.
They can vote anywhere as a Democrat.
They'll let him vote in any precinct he wants.
Their track record, they come up with some pretty bad decisions, that's for sure.
All right.
Well, yeah, they're all tremendous people.
Yes, they are.
And big family Christmas again.
We had them all here for Thanksgiving.
I haven't spoken about this because of privacy.
I had 50 people here.
Whole family got together the first time in a long time.
Only five couldn't make it, had to work.
The others, those were here, little kids all over the place.
It was amazing, too, folks.
No Cheerios on the wall.
No milk spilled at breakfast.
There was no, well, we had infants.
We had two-year-olds and six-year-olds.
And, you know, if they don't like what you serve them, they can just throw it on the floor.
And it didn't happen.
It was just, it was a tremendous time for four days.
They were all here.
Oh, yeah, I played with the kids.
I've got a game room arcade that they really wanted to spend most of their time in, video games and this sort of stuff.
I'm not an idiot.
And it's in another little building on the property.
So they were over there.
Oh, yeah, they were in the theater watching movies and so forth, Disney Channel and this kind of thing.
Yeah, it was fab.
Could not have been greater.
It just could not have gone better.
We had a great time.
And there will be a significant number getting together over the weekend in Missouri for Christmas as well, although I'm not announcing in public whether I'm going or not so as to spare those who are there any hassle.
But yeah, Steve Jr. is my cousin.
Steve Sr., his father is a judge in St. Louis.
Here's where we go now.
Chris, somewhere in Colorado, are you snowed in in Colorado or not?
We're digging out, but we're okay now, I guess.
Good, thank you.
Congratulations and good luck.
Yeah, thank you, Rush.
Thanks for taking my call.
I wanted to make a comment about the public education system debate before I did kind of give some context.
I'm finishing up a teaching program to become a high school history teacher.
I did so with my disgust over the growing reports of history teachers in high school who weren't teaching American history, who were bypassing World War II or not teaching Thomas Jefferson.
And that was someone who was in graduate school for history years ago before I got into the working force.
But I went back to school to be a history teacher.
And I think one thing that we're missing out is in this whole element is the students and the parents.
And they need to be held accountable as well.
I spent a lot of hours in the last two years in classrooms.
And I think we're seeing more and more students who aren't coming to school prepared to learn.
Well, I mean, I have to give you a point on that.
It's not all parents, but clearly a lot of parents think you're the babysitter.
Exactly.
My daughter's elementary school, the biggest debate recently at a PTA meeting was how early parents could drop their kids off at school, preschool programs, and how late they can pick them up.
You know, I think there is a problem with some parents.
Obviously, a lot of your listeners are the conservatives, they're Christians, their homes are solid.
But we're seeing growing broken homes, drug use in homes.
Students come to school who haven't been expected to work at home and don't have those ideals and values and can't even assign homework because it's unfair now because some kids don't have nice homes to do the homework in.
Plus, homework's too much stress on the kids.
Don't go away out there, Chris.
We want to continue with you here after the break.
But I hear all these excuses.
Kids have to get up too early now to go to.
It's just not normal for a young person to get up this early because they go to bed so late.
And so all kinds of excuses are being made for the kids.
And right in the mix here are some parents.
Not all, but some.
We'll be right back.
All right, back quickly to Chris somewhere in Colorado.
I think, you know, look at the thing that happened in Needham, Massachusetts, either last week or earlier this week, when one parent was able to get the school to stop publishing the honor roll.
When I went to school, Chris, if I had a problem in school, it was my problem.
The teachers, as far as my parents were concerned, the teachers were right.
The teachers were respected.
They were known in the community and so forth.
And we were all raised with a respect for, I mean, we played practical jokes on them and this sort of thing, but we respected them as authority figures.
And our parents constantly emphasized homework and constantly emphasized education.
I just don't, I don't know.
I'm not around that many people with high school age or lower kids these days, but from listening to anecdotal stories and what I hear in the news, it sounds like parents today coddle kids and dump on the teachers and dump on the schools at the slightest inconvenience to the parent.
I think that one thing, my whole point for calling was that I hate to see us simplify the issue because it is a very important issue.
There's good teachers who don't mind being held accountable.
And I agree with you that even back when I was in school, my parents were the same way.
And I just think that we have to make sure that what we're seeing here might be a symptom of an overall cultural thing as well.
I mean, hopefully it's not, but more and more kids seem to become the school not prepared to learn, unfortunately.
And I'm not saying it's all the kids.
Certainly your listeners probably, relatively speaking, don't have that problem.
But, you know, it is definitely something to consider.
Well, I appreciate the call.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Thanks very much.
Dick in Concord, North Carolina.
You're next on the EIB network.
Hello, sir.
I would like to know what your thoughts are about the Marines being charged with murder in Iraq.
Yeah, you know, this is a difficult time for me on this.
I'm really torn.
Four Marines are charged with murder and four others are accused.
Right.
And I know it's a charge.
It's not a decision.
And I know that the charge against the Marines has been made by Marines, you know, and hopefully for Marines.
But here's the thing that troubles me about this.
For heaven's sake, we're involved in urban warfare.
And we were told before this war started that it was going to be this way.
And we've not had this kind of urban warfare before.
We have got our enemy posing as women and children.
We have the enemy killing us dressed up as women and children.
They don't wear uniforms.
They're cowards.
They hide out in their mosques and so forth.
And I think if we're charging these Marines with murder in the midst of a war, if we're not fine-tuning something that can't be fine-tuned, fine-tuned.
I mean, it's asking for a degree of precision that is going to lead to restraint.
And it's going to lead to erring on the side of mistakes and caution.
I'm really, I'm troubled.
I'm glad you called because I was hoping to talk about this a little today.
I don't know if we're playing Pavlovian experiments, you know, where dogs get rewarded for good behavior, punished for bad behavior, but the difference between good and bad in a conflict like this is so indistinguishable that we put people in these circumstances, their lives are threatened.
They know that the enemy tricks them.
They know that the enemy is disguised as children, as women, and they're just now supposed to sit around and be sitting ducks.
And what's that going to cause them to do?
They're not like police officers.
They're at war.
And I think this just helps our enemies.
Oh, there's no question.
And I'm going to tell you where I think the root of this is.
To be quite honest, I know this is not the Marines, but I think that the overhyping of what happened at Abu Ghraib and at Club Gitmo has so harmed the mission and our image and our long struggle in the Middle East.
And that was done on purpose by the people who wanted us to be harmed by Abu Ghraib.
We are in the midst of a war and we are fighting people who will stop at nothing including blowing themselves up, claiming victory in the process.
And that's what bugged me, but this Abu Grab thing from the start, all that does is inhibit, and it creates an image of us, even in this country, that is not accurate and does not have any historical precedence for accuracy.
So, I hate to see this.
I know the Marines are doing this to Marines.
But it still troubles me.
And it's just another obstacle that we're going to put in front of these people that wear the uniform.
We're sending them out there and telling them to win this, and then we punish them when they get involved in circumstances for which there probably isn't a whole lot of training based on past experiences.
So, I don't know, bothers me.
That's about the best I can say.
Mark in Plymouth, Michigan.
Hello, sir, and welcome to the EIB Network.
Merry Christmas, Rush.
Thank you, sir.
I was just curious about the origins of your name.
I mean, is Rush a nickname?
Is it your real name?
And how did you get it?
You're very shrewd.
You are the first person to ask if it was a nickname.
My actual name is Mustafa.
Mustafa?
Mustafa Sahib Hudson Limbaugh.
No, actually, I'm Rush H. Limbaugh III.
That is not a nickname.
And my grandfather was, of course, the first.
My father was junior.
And there's a long explanation for this that has to do with the geographic area in which the family came from, North Carolina.
But the real short answer to it is that it is one of my grandfather's aunts' maiden names.
And that, you know, I think her name was Edna Rush or something.
And they just wanted to keep that name alive.
And so they named my grandfather Rush.
And the other part of it is that the middle name is Hudson, and it is the Rush Hudson.
I forget the story, but there's a geographical area of North Carolina, or it might be Virginia, I forget which.
That was a phrase that was used to describe a roaring brook, believe it or not, stream of water for those of you in Riolinda.
And so the combination of the two is what led to the name.
But it is not a nickname.
I was never able to use my real name on the radio when I started because when I went to Pittsburgh in 1971, I was 20, and I worked for an ABC-owned and operated rock and roll station.
You can't use your real name.
I mean, people are going to think you have a lisp and can't say Russ.
Nobody's ever heard anybody named Rush.
So they had a book of approved names at ABC, and I had to go through the book and pick a name.
As long as it wasn't in the Pittsburgh phone book, I could use it.
So I found Jeff Christie.
And I once went to a numerologist, just for the fun of it.
A bunch of us got together friendly.
I went to a numerologist who did the reading and said, you know what?
You are never going to amount to Hill of Beans until you start using your real name.
Never going to happen.
And I didn't start using my real name until 1984 on the radio.
And that's when everything started happening.
She was right.
I still don't believe in numerology, though.
Back in just a second.
Ha, Paru.
Welcome back.
Rush Limbaugh and the Excellence in Broadcasting Network.
We're going to wrap up the show today with about three minutes of Silent Night by Mannheim Steamroller.
I first heard this song, first did the first had the CDs and started the show here in 1988 and in 89 on the years that always did that.
It was a bit of a tradition.
Song will make you cry.
And you really, I'm sure many of you now have the CDs as opposed to have, how many of you had them back then?
But you really need to hear these things on your super heterodyne stereo system at home or in your car.
They're incomparable.
But one more thing here I want to address.
The judge in the Lewis Libby case, the CIA leak case, which is so misnamed that it ought to be never referred to that again, is livid.
He is outraged because one of Joe Wilson's lawyers in his civil suit against Libby and Rove and Cheney went on hardball the other night.
Her name is Melanie Sloan.
She's not supposed to talk about this case in the media.
She couldn't help herself.
Chris Matthews said, The Washington jury sitting in this case is Scooter Libby.
If they were to learn that Joe Wilson had somehow put out the word that his wife was an undercover agent before Scooter Libby said anything to anyone, wouldn't that mitigate against his guilt?
No, because the issue isn't anymore what Mr. Libby may have said regarding Ms. Wilson.
It's that he lied in court, that he lied to the grand jury, that he lied to the FBI, and that's what Mr. Libby's being charged with.
Do you think a jury would still find him guilty if it was clear that he was not the first to leak?
I think a jury could easily still find him guilty without being the first to leak because that's not what he's been charged with.
He's not charged with leaking.
Yeah, exactly.
Then that's what the case was all about.
That's how absurd all of this is.
Libby has been charged in a process crime for lying under oath to the FBI and this sort of thing.
There was no crime in the leaking anyway.
And Chris Matthews is starting to get a little concerned here.
Wait a minute.
If he calls Joe Wilson in there and it's discovered that Wilson was the first, which Matthews knows by virtue of the question he asked.
So, Chris, what the hell the last two years of your show been about?
If you know that Wilson was the leaker, how in the world could anybody else destroy your wife or his wife?
At any rate, the judge was fit to be tied.
Reggie Walton, I have his order here.
And let me just read to you the last four or five lines.
This court expects that movements and their counsel in any collateral matters, including counsel for Ambassador Wilson, will demonstrate the same restraint as Mr. Libby and counsel for the parties have exercised to date.
If this does not occur, this court will not hesitate to take the necessary action to assure that the ability of the parties to obtain a fair trial is not impaired.
He lowered the boom on this babe, this Melanie Sloan.
Isn't she with Crewe?
Isn't she with that there's a there's a Melanie Sloan that works with crew, and I don't know if it's the same Melanie Sloan or not.
Melanie Sloan that runs crew, this stupid little group.
But nevertheless, he lowered the boom and made it plain.
And next time this happens, there will be severe, severe punishment, and then it goes on to executive director of Crew, which is this ethics.
I forget what the Committee for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington.
Weren't they involved?
What were they involved in?
Foley?
Foley, they were involved in the Foley leak and the Foley story and keeping that alive.
And that's who Ambassador Wilson's lawyer is, ladies and gentlemen.
So anyway, this was good to see.
All right.
There sadly is not enough time to take another phone call, ladies and gentlemen.
Now, for those of you at our broadcast affiliates, those of you board-ops out there, we're going to take this break a little early so as to be able to have time for just a few words and a closing song, Silent Night by Mannheim Steamroller, when we come back.
All right, get this.
Al-Qaeda, this is from ABC News.
Our old buddy Brian Ross in his blog, Al-Qaeda, has sent a message to leaders of the Democratic Party that credit for the defeat of congressional Republicans belongs to the terrorists.
In a portion of the tape from Al-Qaeda number two, Ayman al-Zawahiri, made available only today, Zawahiri says he has two messages for American Democrats.
The first is that you aren't the ones who won the midterm elections, nor are the Republicans the ones who lost.
Rather, the Muslim Umaz vanguard in Afghanistan and Iraq, they're the ones who won, and the American forces and their crusader allies are the ones who lost.
Zawahiri calls on Democrats to negotiate with him and bin Laden, not others in the Islamic world, who Zawahiri says, if you don't refrain from the foolish American policy of backing Israel, occupying the lands of Islam, and stealing the treasures of the Muslims, then you await the same fate as the Republicans.
Now, this will not embarrass the Democrats.
By all rights, it should.
Zawahiri, you guys didn't win it.
We did.
And it's time you talked with us.
It isn't funny, except it involves our buddies, the Democrats.
They can't get separation from their allies, and they clearly would like to.
Ladies and gentlemen, as you know, if you're a regular listener to this program, Christmas time seems to me, in my life, always been that period of time where I have gotten sentimental and thankful as opposed to Thanksgiving.
And it's always that way.
Something about the time of the year and the way that I was raised and spent the time as a kid.
And I cannot end this year without once again thanking all of you for the bond and the depth of loyalty that you have exhibited toward me and this program.
We're in our 19th year now, and it is still humbling to me after all of this time.
I cannot express in words my appreciation for all of you out there and all that you have meant to me and the program and even my family.
I know a lot of you people say that this show has changed your life and it probably has.
I can understand that.
But all that pales compared to what your being there has meant to me.
So have a Merry Christmas and a great new year.
And we'll take it out here with Mannheim Steamroller and Silent Night.
