Christmas Memories!

Christmas time always brings memories of the holiday season…and creates new ones! It’s Artist Newsday and Game Time Tuesday on The Afternoon Drive, and we had so much fun sharing Christmas memories today!

WNZR Artists like Colton Dixon shared his family’s plans for Disney fun this Christmas, and Tasha Layton shared memories of her neighbor’s amazing banana bread on Christmas morning! We heard from even more artist and their Christmas memories, like For King + County, Anne Wilson and Phil Wickham!

The Christmas Gift Exchange continues on WNZR! Congratulations to Jana from Mount Vernon, who unwrapped a $25 Gift Certificate to Risen Thrift in Danville, while Denise. Both winners for today have been entered into our drawing for our SEVEN grand prize winners Friday on The Morning Thing!

“Dashing through the snow
In a one-horse open sleigh
O’er the fields we go
Laughing all the way
Bells on bobtails ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing!”

Those are the words from ‘Jingle Bells’. Congrats to Christina for correctly naming the song! She wins the $5 Gift Card to Watts Restaurant in Utica!

Thanks for listening!- Judah
