Weekend on the Radio Recap: O Tannenbaum Edition

The Christmas season technically starts the day after Thanksgiving, but it doesn't start in Charm City until our beloved Washington Monument gets lit.  Fortunately, it's going down tonight, so break out the egg nog and figgy pudding.  Afterwards, be sure to stop by your local McDonald's for a Royale with Cheese, or Le Big Mac.
