Here we are at the closing segment of the year, although with the way things are hopping, it may well be that I have to bop in here for a day or two in the next two weeks. I just don\u2019t know. I\u2019m gonna be trying to be on standby. But, you know, I get sentimental this time of year. I get thankful this time of year, and I can\u2019t let this program go by without once again expressing all of the gratitude I can muster for all of you being out there for so long.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-295448\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/APP-122118-Rush-Christmas.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/APP-122118-Rush-Christmas.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/APP-122118-Rush-Christmas-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Christmas-Extraordinaire-Mannheim-Steamroller\/dp\/B00005NNDK\/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_15_img_1?_encoding=UTF8&amp;psc=1&amp;refRID=QVF4RCSX23FDKXH534FX\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright wp-image-2516\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/MSteamroller.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/MSteamroller.jpg 435w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/MSteamroller-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/MSteamroller-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>I did the speech last night and I had so many people be so complimentary and tell me how important the show has been to them and how much they enjoy it, and I still revel in that. I still appreciate it. It still means as much to me today as the first time I ever heard any of those compliments. But whatever the show has meant to you, I cannot tell you how much you being there and admitting that you\u2019re there has meant to me and to my family.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m just a guy from the middle of the country, Missouri, who loved radio and wanted to do it to the best of my ability and had these wild dreams that it was gonna be better than anybody else ever had &#8212; and you\u2019ve made largely those dreams come true. And you keep causing that dream to come true each and every day. Every day for me is an adult Christmas. I wish everybody could experience it. We have always traditionally wrapped up the final segment with Mannheim Steamroller\u2019s Silent Night.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a beautiful song and it\u2019s a tear-jerker as it builds to the end and its final crescendo so I\u2019m gonna get out of the way and let that play out. If this is your first time hearing it, it\u2019s worth getting the CD, listening to it in full-fledged stereo with the volume turned way up. It cannot help but get to your heart and affect you. Thank you again, folks, and everybody have a great, great, great Christmas and rest of the year. We\u2019ll see you soon.<\/p>\n<p>(Silent Night by Mannheim Steamroller)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: I get thankful this time of year, and I can&#039;t let this program go by without once again expressing all of the gratitude I can muster for all of you being out there for so long.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":49,"featured_media":295448,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[12,1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.6 -
