Merry Whatever 2020!

Ho Ho… Ho, oh boy. This year was a lot. But at least we won’t ever forget it, right?

Anyway, it’s almost over and it looks like we'll make it. As usual, DJ Vollkasko has a special selection of seasonal songs for you to sit around, eat a sugarplum, sip some libations and obsess about rising Covid-19 incidence numbers in your town.

It's okay to feel sad or angry these days, what with all that's happened and all that's still going on. But don't get stuck with that, things will change for the better. Hang in there. Stay healthy and safe, and let’s keep our fingers crossed for a safer and saner 2021.

Social distanced hugs and best wishes to you and yours from your pals at superstar rotation!
