The Yule Log From Hell

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!   1) The Most Wonderful Time of the Year – Point of Grace 2) Ting-a-Ling-a-Jingle (Christmas Lullaby) - Eddie Habat AHO/Bob & Millie Holt (vox) 3) Bring A Torch, Jeanette, Isabella – Brian Green 4)Land of Broken Toys – John Graas 5) A Christmas Wish – The Rainbows 6) Jingle Bell Rock – Akiko 7) Grove of Christmas – Ali Lohan 8) Feels Like Christmas Time – Steve Wariner 9) Last Christmas – Taylor Swift 10) Tiny Tree Christmas – Ryan Miller 11) If Every Day Was Like Christmas – The Blue Diamonds 12) (We Will Be Happy) On Christmas Day – Thee Fine Lines 13) Santa Claus Is Coming To Town – Tiger Dixie Band/Greta Marcolongo 14) The Christmas Song – Tiny Tim 15) What Child is This? – Jeff Fenholt 16) Joy To The World – Jackie Wilson 17) Merry Xmas Everyone – IQ 18) Carol Of The Bells – The December People 19) I Saw Three Ships – Marillion 20) The Candle Song – Jon Anderson 21) It Snows In Heaven Too – Annie Haslam 22) A Whistle and a Whisker Away – Lynn Anderson 23) Christmastime - Lunsford & Reed 24) Christmas Is Here – Lucas Hoge 25) Il Est Ne Le Divin Enfant – Louis van Dijk 26) What Can I Give Him – Jack Halloran Singers 27) What Can I Give You This Christmas – The Lettermen 28) Christmas Is A Time For Giving – Nicolette Larson 29) Stop Giving Me Crap For Christmas – Bobby Gaylor 30) Look Around You (It’s Christmas Time) – Bobby Goldsboro 31) Santa’s Big Parade – The Louvin Brothers 32) Mistletoe Kiss Polka – Margaret Whiting 33) (I Wonder) Who’s Spending Christmas With You – Joe Dowell 34) Spin Me A Christmas – Aqua 35) Elixir of Innocence – Psicodremics 36) Merry Christmas, Baby – Lionel Hampton/Sonny Parker 37) A Christmas Tree – The Hatfield Jazz Quartet 38) Christmas Waits – The Lovemongers 39) Christmas In New Orleans – Jan Harrington Band 40) SnowBird – Martin Levac/Chantale 41) Christmas All The Time – Meg & Dia 42) Go Tell It On The Mountain – Morris Chapman 43) Comin’ For Xmas – Usher 44) Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy – Soulful Strings 45) For Christmas’ Sake – Sounds of Blackness 46) Speak His Name – The Sounds of Liberty (David Dandlett, Dir) 47) Christmas Wish – Stacie Orrico 48) O Holy Night – Josh Groban 49) My Favorite Things – Peter Cincotti 50 So This Is Christmas – Pat Travers 51) Home For the Holidays – Eric Clapton 52) Patapan – Empire Brass Quintet 53) Fa La La – Elizabeth Chan 54) In A Christmas Mood – Doug Ferony 55) Champagne of Christmas – Fleshtones 56) December Prayer – Idina Menzel 57) Halleluja, loof den Heer – Jan Zwart 58) Toyland – Jack Jerzzo/Leif Shires 59) Season for Believing – Karen Peck and New River 60) Santa Baby - Ranee Lee/Richard King 61) Snowman’s Land – Keith Emerson 62) A Winter’s Tale – Rick Wakeman 63) Simple Gifts – Liz Story 64) Peace – George Winston 65) All On A Christmas Morn/We’ll Dress This House – Warner Brothers Orchestra/George Greely 66) Swing Down Chariot – Frank Ferrari 67) The Holy Child – John McCormack 68) Merry Christmas, Darling – Ohio State University Marching Band 69) O Green and Shimmering – The University of Oklahoma Percussion Ensemble 70) Wassail Song – The University of Texas at Austin Chabmer Singers 71) Sleeper Wake – Rutgers University Glee Club 72) Winter(Largo From Concerto No. 4 in F Minor, Rv297 The Four Seasons) – Aan Loveday & The Academy of St. Martin-in-the-Fields 73) A Christmas Jig/Mouth of the Tobique Ree - Natalie MacMaster/Yo-Yo Ma 74) Christmastime with You – The Cheapskates 75) Calling It Christmas – Chiara 76) The Heart of Christmas – Matthew West 77) Ding Dong Merrily on High – World Christmas-Latin 78) While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks – World Christmas-African 79) Sans Day Carol – World Christmas-Celtic 80) Jingle Bell Stomp – The Raindrops 81) Yo Ho Ho – Klark Kent 82) Dicken’s Christmas Carol – Ireene Wicker 83) Joy To The World – Hollywood Bowl Symphony Orchestra 84) I’ll Be Home For Christmas – Herb Alpert 85) The Little Drummer Boy – The Daughters of the Cross/Peter Knight and his Orchestra 86) Snowflake Waltz – Cousin Fuzzy & the Doughboys 87) Disco Santa Claus – Raindolls 88) Cowboy Santa – Larry Cartell 89) Blood On The Snow – Erasure 90) Oh, Beautiful Star of Bethlehem – The Dosses 91) Children Go Where I Send Thee – REO Speedwagon 92) Mele Kalikimaka – Webley Edwards 93) Christmas Time Blues – Casey Bill Weldon 94) River – James Taylor 95) Song of Joy For Christmas – Jacqui McShee 96) Christmas When We’re Together – Ashley Chapa 97) Happy New Year – Ina Wrorldsen 98) What Are You Doing New Year’s Eve? – Dante & the Evergreens 99) Rockin’ In A Christmas New Year – The Fools 100) Sleigh Ride – Persephone’s Bees ©2025 While-U-Were-Out Productions

SEASONS GREETINGS FROM SEDONA, AZ! Holy Christmas!!! Year #31 is in the bag! I'm humbled by all of the great feedback I have gotten over the last several years. Just when I think I have done my last show I am encouraged to trudge on. It is a passion of mine. Despite all of massive amount of work it takes to put these shows together. I look forward to it every year!   I cannot do any of this without the love and support of my family (Corin & Amanda) as well as all of you who continue to listen, share and support my meager podcast. I know this is not for everyone and the holiday music landscape is scorched with the same old tired crap we hear on the radio, satellite and streaming day in and day out. My podcast is a respite from all of that fluff. So yes, the musical selection can be quite eclectic and some of my humor may not resonate with everyone but that does not deter me from bringing you  a smattering of classic (and not so classic) holiday fare. I will continue to do this as long as there are people who are listening. Or I drop dead....whichever comes first...   I also want to mention some of the blogs and supporters who have been giving me the shout outs and help me build my audience please check out their sites/pages if you love holiday music as much as I do Bootleg Xmas FaLaLaLaLa.com Ernie (Not Bert) I'm sure there are others out there I may have forgotten. Please forgive me....you are no less important. I am grateful for all of your support. Year #32 is right around the corner so I guess I better get a move on. Here's hoping you and yours have a happy, healthy, prosperous and safe holiday season (no matter what you celebrate...or not).

Well it’s hard to believe it but here we are! The Christmas Day Spectacular!!!!! This closes out year #30. Yes….30 YEARS!!!!! If you told me 30yrs ago that I would still be doing this I probably would have said that you were nuts. To use the cliché “labor of love” would not do it justice. This has been a musical journey of epic proportions. Some would call it insanity. That’s ok. I created YLFH as an alternative to the same old crap that’s being played on the local radio stations and even satellite. I’ve always strived to offer some unique holiday tunes. I hope you have enjoyed listening as much as I have putting all of this together for y’all. None of this would ever be possible without the support of my family (Corin & Amanda) as well as all of my friends and supporters and all the blogs and trade pages and all of the folks who share in my obsession….yes it’s an obsession. Might as well lean into it. I dunno what the future of YLFH is. I still believe I got a few more years in me. I’ll just keep doing it until you stop listening or I run out of tunes (which ever comes first). Until we meet again – Merry Christmas Happy Hannukah (however it’s spelled) Happy Kwanza Happy Festivus Or whatever you celebrate (or not) this time of the year. Thanks for listening!

Well folks....We have finally arrived at our final episode putting YLFH 2022 (year 29) in the bag! It has been a real blast bringing all of the holiday classics (and not-so-classics) to you and yours this holiday season. I hope you have enjoyed listening to these shows as much as I have making them. There is a lot of work that goes into each show but in the end it is totally worth it. I love the holidays and I love sharing my eclectic (and sometimes erratic) holiday music collection with all of you. We will be back for year next year! You can count on that. This show happens with so much support and there are not enough words to express my gratitude to all of you for continuing to listening and supporting the show. Special thanks to my FB peeps at Bootleg Xmas (@bootlegxmas - http://bootlegxmas.hmcnally.com/) and Bill Donnelly for their shout outs and shares. Thanks to my friends and family for their support of my insanity. The biggest word of thanks to my 2 greatest supporters Corin & Amanda. Without them I would never have the time to put these shows together. Here's hoping for you and yours to have a healthy, happy, prosperous Holiday season (whichever one you do...or not) as well as a Happy New Year! Let's hope 2023 doesn't suck!   Happy Merry (and all that other stuff) Keith Droz (podcaster general) www.yulelogfromhell.com     Episode 7 – One Last Take!
