For some reason this Merle Haggard is giving me this vibe:
🎵 If you’re looking for me, I’ve been living on the air in Cincinnati, Cincinnati WKRP🎵
I’m only 42, but I very much remember that theme song from being a kid.

The only times I don't sing along with the theme song are those occasions, as tonight, when there would be a real choking hazard.

I meant new slate to Merle’s greatness with my WKRP comment, it’s just childhood nostalgia stuck in my head that got dragged out!

Hi all! Yes, I had to turn that Merle song off but I do like sad songs (even if they aren’t selling this year) it’s all about the mood one is in

The comment on comments feature is pretty fun. I especially like the arrows that pop up after so if you tap the arrow it takes you to exactly what was being commented on whether it be a song or an earlier comment

Handy Haversack:

I am glad you called out those who find this time of year trying, Becky. We, the non-Christmasers, have to endure. Easier for me than for many, I know! But it is wonderful to have an oasis from even the well-meaning holiday stuff.

Especially when there's Merle in it.

And all of youse!

Ho ho ho! I'm listening while driving around the unfashionable part of Poughkeepsie delivering charity Xmas gifts in my Santa suit. The last little kid was quick to point out: "You don't look like the real Santa Claus. Your eyes are crooked!"

I think its gonna be a long night but I'm glad for this show to keep me company!

His mother immediately shut things down by saying "He's not Santa so he isn't supposed to look like Santa!" and since these kids were like 5, 3, and 2 that was somehow more depressing, squashing any magic of the moment
