100 year old predictions for 2025; Betsy Ross gets no respect from Cleveland; I guess I am sore afraid after all; Those Elflocks make him a real Snoutfair when he isn't being a Cockalorum; The ball isn't all that drops on New Year's Eve; Every day is New Year's Day; Preserving today for tomorrow (thanks to Ideisha Bellamy for the idea); The real Auld Lang Syne.

In this episode I take a brief look at Twelfth Night (the Christmas custom, not the play), with an assist from Marshal Matt Dillon. You'll also hear music from Jahzzar as well as a bit of The Nutcracker Suite. Check back soon for A Volume Down Christmas 2004, Part 3.
