After a week away for daughter Nicole's wedding in Hololulu, we're back and we'll open our Zoom Room tomorrow morning, 8:00-9:00 am PT.

While the conversation could veer into sports (how 'bout them Braves winning the World Series); COVID will likely be discussed as Brad prepares to get his booster tomorrow afternoon; and it is likely that the topics covered below will come up. Europe and the UK has already converted back to Standard Time so the times have changed, as outlined below. Join the conversation tomorrow morning.

8:00 AM - 9:00 AM Pacific Time

11:00 AM - Noon Eastern Time

3:00 PM - 4:00 PM UK Time (instead of the usual 4pm)

4:00 PM - 5:00 PM Central Europe Time (instead of the usual 5pm)

Meeting ID: 753 912 4301

Passcode: Martini

It's a tradition at Martini in the Morning; our annual Holiday Music Poll. Click here to request your favorite Christmas songs. You can vote through November 24th. Then we tabulate the votes and all Thanksgiving weekend we count down the 100 most requested Christmas songs. We urge you to vote early and vote often. We've been told that the official MITM Coffee Fairy Blaine Sutliff of Sun Valley, California plans to "stuff the ballot box" for his favorite, "I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas" by Gayla Peavey. Unless you want it to be the #1 song in the countdown, vote vote vote.

Monday, November 29th we resume regular programming with a few Christmas songs mixed in each hour. The amount of Christmas music increases as we get closer to Christmas Day, with all Christmas music December 24th at Noon PT through Deccember 25th at Midnight. It's become a battle among AM and FM radio stations who can be the first in their city to play All-Christmas all the time. We focus on quality rather than quantity. And since so many of the great Christmas songs are by artists we play every day, the blend works quite well. Vote so the "Hippopotamus" song isn't number 1 (unless you want it to be).

The Martini in the Morning Holday Listening Pass is back. Last year, many MITM listeners gave listening passes to their friends so they could enjoy the best holiday music mix AND to introduce them to Martini in the Morning. It's the gift the keeps on giving; many who received the Holday Listening Pass as a gift became subscribers themselves after the pass expired on January 2nd. Click here for instructions and to buy the Holiday Listening Pass for your friends. It's just $5 to listen from Thanksgiving Day till January 2nd, 2022.
