DAVID GREENE, HOST:

Good morning, I'm David Greene. And the United Arab Emirates, Britain's embassies, are warning British citizens to behave. To send a message, they re-wrote "'Twas the Night Before Christmas." In the new version, Stu Nicholas is in the UAE and learns some things. At work holiday party, no holding of hands or Christmas kisses. After some festive cheer he ends up in jail and spends the festive season out on bail.

The embassy says enjoy the season. We love seeing you, but not for the wrong reason.

Federal funding is gone.

Congress has eliminated all funding for public media.

That means $2.1 million per year that Connecticut Public relied on to deliver you news, information, and entertainment programs you enjoyed is gone.

The future of public media is in your hands.

All donations are appreciated, but we ask in this moment you consider starting a monthly gift as a Sustainer to help replace what’s been lost.
