[BC] Classic Christmas radio plays

[Mike McCarthy]

  The irony is many people go to the movies that day for a variety of 
reasons. In the past 10 years or so, some of the movie theater 
industry's biggest days year to year are on Christmas day.  Might that 
be people with no families looking to get away from it all for a few 
hours...maybe.  Certainly possible given an increasing number of people 
don't celebrate the holiday and are off from work because it's a widely 
celebrated national holiday. Recall, Christmas is a religious holiday 
first and evolved into a national holiday long ago when the total 
population was predominantly Christan and the various other 
denominations didn't exist here except for maybe Judism.  But they too 
have a holiday sequence on/around Christmas, but related to other events.

The bottom line is today we're in such a matrix-ed melted pot society 
and there is something celebrated by someone on any given day. So I 
don't see why plays would not be an appropriate content on a day which 
many people aren't listening for music anyway.
