Episode #143: All I Want for Christmas

I wanted to get this Christmas episode, the final Star Time of 2019, up and available before Christmas Eve, just in case you need accompaniment for your holiday responsibilities over the next couple of days. Whether it's wrapping presents, tying together strings of popcorn, crank-calling the Target customer service line with requests for "Reverse Slinkys," or just sitting in your heathen armchair feeling vaguely superior to holiday scramblers via your embrace of stasis, crank up the tuneage and let the yuletide spurt. Thank you as always for another year of active Star Time listening. We'll be back the week of January 20, 2020.
