OK, here's the lineup for the Christmas show

You know, you turn the show over to your eight-year-old self, and nothing gets done right. The little bugger won't stop counting into the microphone -- whoa, THAT's never been done before -- and he won't announce any of the songs.

And it's not like Mama and Daddy were being helpful in any way. OK, OK, Daddy! I know . . . cut it off!
