The Wavelength
Monday December 23rd, 2024 with Joe Reilly
Alterno-Christmas... and well sure some Christmas classics... maybe with a twist or two...like a candy cane... haha... or is that hoho??
A fun show tonight taking you through some music for the Christmas season.
There are some alternative gems here as well as some seasonal standards. We also explore songs about people who live on the margins or are feeling sad and left out of the hoopla at this time of year - so if you know anyone like that maybe try to find time for them and make sure they are feeling ok.
And as mentioned, if you want to help others in your community this holiday season, it's not too late to donate to the Ottawa Food Bank or the Ottawa Snowsuit Fund - two groups that do a great deal of good for others in need.

Have a Merry Christmas and all the best for the new year in 2025!! Thanks for listening.
