Holly was hung on the stage with care. Run DMC, Paul Revere and 'em and even the grinch, was there. It was the ultimate bridgetown holiday hoedown. I think I even spotted a mistletoe hanging above a pair of hot toddys in the corner.

Braille Brizzy and his brood brought a blessed Christmas to Doug Fir's cellar in spectacular form. DJ Shines warmed up the air for Barry Hampton and the Triple Grip (Miss Ragen Fykes and Toni Hill on vocals, Skip Bowman on electric guitar and special guest Mark Steele on piano), who rocked with a nine-piece band, crooned classic carols wrapped in rhythm and blues.

A rap battle between Frosty and Rudolf, Def Con 5 breakers donning elf fits (red is your color Mighty Moves) and a lanky Grinch bouncing on and off stage intensified lupine-laced joints by Braille's latest gift to the music scene, The IV. Molasses delivery and timing by recent Portland transplant Theory Hazit rounded out the Ham and cranberry feast.
