We'll be celebrating Christmas throughout the month of December on Alive and Picking, with many longtime former KPFK music programmers returning to the studio for the occasion.

On December 4th, Tom Nixon will bring us his unique and eccentric take on the holiday theme with a special Christmas version of The Nixon Tapes.

On December 11th, John and Deanne Davis will bring us a Heartfelt Music Christmas special.

On December 18th, Ben Elder will return with a Wildwood Flower Christmas show.

And on December 25th, Mary Katherine Aldin will finish up the theme with an Alive and Picking Christmas.

So please join the musical fun, every Saturday in December from 6:00 to 8:00 a.m. if you listen live, or at www.kpfk.org if you're not quite that early a bird. Thanks!
