Meanwhile, in case you missed it, here's how Christmas week looked to Steyn:
~The se'nnight began with Mark talking to composer Hugh Martin about a beloved Christmas classic.
Later Mark read the second of this year's Dorothy L Sayers Christmas Tales for our Time - an ingenious Peter Wimsey mystery called The Necklace of Pearls.
Tales for Our Time is a special production of The Mark Steyn Club.
~On Monday Mark began a week of UK telly sitting in for Nigel Farage on GB News and covering topics from Covid to Quidditch. You can watch the full show here.
Afterwards Steyn launched our final seasonal Tale for Our Time - Washington Irving's account of a Christmas in Merrie Old England two centuries ago. You can hear Mark read Part One here, Part Two here, Part Three here, and the conclusion here.
Tales for Our Time is made possible through The Mark Steyn Club.
~On Tuesday's edition of Farage Steyn focused the energy crisis, with world natural gas prices soaring and China snaffling much of it up. He also talked with Peter Noone of Herman's Hermits about a boffo idea for next year's Christmas Number One. You can watch the full show here.
Afterwards he joined his old Rush comrade Bo Snerdley (James Golden) on New York radio powerhouse to disccuss Eric Shagdwell's demand that the unvaccinated not be permitted to fly, and whether it's wise to leave your heart in San Francisco. Click below to listen:

Also on Thursday Laura's Links rounded up the Internet from Chinese penetration of Harvard to drag-queen penetration of Lutheran churches.
~On Christmas Eve Steyn did double-duty in audio and video. First up was a special live Yuletide edition of The Mark Steyn Show with old friends Randy and Tal Bachman providing live seasonal favorites along the way:
Later Mark offered a special Christmas Eve programme of lessons and carols with live performances by old friends of "Away in a Manger", "Once in Royal David's City" and many more. You can hear the full presentation here.

Later Rick McGinnis picked a special Christmas movie date: Barbara Stanwyck in Remember the Night.
