RUSH: It\u2019s a 20-plus year tradition on this program to wrap up our final program before Christmas with Mannheim Steamroller and Silent Night. I love the song, and if you\u2019ve not heard it — you probably have by now — if you\u2019ve not heard it off a CD, turned it up as loud as you can make it on a very good stereo system, you should. It is a beautiful, beautiful rendition of a great song. And this is the time of year, Thanksgiving is one thing, but I happen to feel more sentimental and thankful for all of my blessings at Christmastime for some reason, that\u2019s why I try to take a moment to express it all to you.<\/p>\n


\nSomething that I\u2019ve realized over the years is that when I\u2019m away over Christmas, I\u2019m actually away from my family in a sense because that\u2019s what you all are, probably the largest extended family known to exist in the free world. And I\u2019m never with you on holidays, except, of course, in my heart. You\u2019re always with me, and I don\u2019t know what I would do if you weren\u2019t there. I have people tell me still how much the program means to them and so forth, but whatever that is, it is small in comparison to what you all have meant to me and my family. It\u2019s indescribable what you have all meant, and I can\u2019t thank you enough, no matter what. It\u2019s a piece of gratitude I\u2019ll never fully be able to express or even fully repay.<\/p>\n

We sometimes say that great radio makes for great listeners, but that also goes vice-versa. Having such a great audience makes for great radio and a great host. You are an indescribable, can\u2019t-do-without-it link to everything that\u2019s here. Try to put this fight over the payroll tax cut out of your mind and have a great Christmas holiday and a great New Year\u2019s. And remember, don\u2019t forget to tell everybody in your family, according to the BBC, that they are fat. You\u2019re doing it for their own good.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
