Ok. THIS must be the second singer, that you said was so charming and funny with Johnny Carson. (Spolier alert if you're still trying to guess)

Very, very impressive carols. Masterful all-around, from the singing to the musical accompaniment.

Thank you and Merry Christmas!

Amelias: Price, Arroyo, and Radvanovsky?

Have to say Oliver, thanks for the heads-up on the Arroyo Tonight Show appearance. Her comment to Michael Landon saying "I was trying to get your attention" had me on the floor. That whole appearance was a delight. I, like you, am definitely going to investigate Vishnevskaya & Della Casa as well Arroyo. Quick question: Where did you find the Crespin Amelia?

Doug: loved, Loved, LOVED your "Santa Baby" and like you I'd prefer cashier checks as well! HELLO!!!!

MIchael: Loved yours and the Mrs. duet. Best wishes on your upcoming bundle of joy

Michael and Jenny, that was a FANTASTIC original rendition of Baby It's Cold Outside! Christmas creepy! Love it! You need to do a full Christmas album with original covers like this one! Let us know when the album is out, we'll buy a few.

Oliver, in this one episode you said early on that your family wasn't big into Christmas, that they weren't very sentimental about it, that it was a little awkward with your mom's birthday on the day before, and that you didn't really have family traditions around the holidays... then later in the episode you lamented that you won't be with your family on Chrismas...even though you had nothing enjoyable or sentimental to say about it earlier...and you will be SINGING on Christmas...you know..singing...performing..that thing you love to do more than anything in the world?! Darn, maybe next year you won't be singing and you will be home having a so-so Christmas and lamenting about the good old days when you used to enjoy singing on Christmas

Doug, you were funny as ever. I was waiting to hear the story about that time that it was so cold outside that your tongue stuck to the pole! And then he said, why don't we go inside? And it didn't stick anymore. <grin>

Jenny, we were very disappointed that you prioritized your pregnancy, and family, and holidays, over being on the air for us to hear. Oh, wait, you have your priorities in the right order! Enjoyed the duet! Cant wait to hear next year's trio ...he should be singing at one year old right?

Thanks all for giving us joy weekly..or biweekly..or monthly..or whenver the episodes come together....and this Chistmas.

As we say among our very diverse, overly sensitive, politically correct, and hyper-inclusive group of friends.. Merry Christmakwanzukkah!! with a little Festivus on the side.

Happy Holidays, Ross

p.s. You just ruined all future Christmases because you told me Coach ended...I didn't realize I was watching re-runs all this time. No, sincerely, I will be heartbroken when I discover in 84 episodes that you might be discontinuing Opera Now. Nooooooooooooooo! Well, I'm going to make believe I don't know that while listening to the next 84 episodes.

Oliver, enjoyed your singing as well...very masterful.
