For no apparent reason
We are not only playing Christmas songs today, but the music will be relaxed, suitable to listen to while enjoying your Christmas dinner with your family and friends. I also won't talk much today. I will only introduce our last newcomer for 2015 a bit more extensively.
Previous years I ended the last program of the year with a rock song and a lot of fireworks over it. The last song for 2015 is a Christmas song by my dear friend Catself.
We wish you a nice Christmas, happy New Year, happy holidays and hope to meet you again in 2016!
