Tonight, Twas the Show Before Christmas, and ALL Through The House....yeah, we're not going down that road again. But, Santa and Mrs. Claus return for the Naughty (and Nice) List, and a special appearance by a long-time former Downtown Columbus Holiday Fixture.

Tonight is a night to celebrate. For the first time in ten years, the Michigan Wolverines beat their hated rivals, That Ohio School, 42-27 on November 27, 2011, behind FIVE Hassan Haskins touchdowns, and 3,654 days worth of steam. Then one week later, Michigan won their first Big Ten Championship in 17 years with a 42-3 demolition of Iowa. And for the first time ever, the Wolverines are in the College Football Playoff, being the ONLY school to make the NCAA Final Four in Men's Basketball, Baseball, Football, and Ice Hockey (the four major sports) in the last four years.

College Football Playoff:
# 1 Alabama (12-1) vs. # 4 Cincinnati (13-0) - Cotton Bowl; 3:30PM on 12/31 in Arlington, TX
# 2 Michigan (12-1) vs. # 3 Georgia (12-1) - Orange Bowl; 7:30PM on 12/31 in Miami Gardens, FL

National Championship:
Alabama/Cincinnati vs. Michigan/Georgia - January 10, 2022

Rose Bowl:
Ohio B*ckeyes vs. Utah Utes

The Weekend Warrior skims through events around town, including the return of a Columbus Holiday Staple - The Nutcracker (Ballet Met's The Nutcracker, to be exact).

And Hour # 2 is a bunch of celebratory and upbeat music slapped together, to troll B*ckeye fans, who will lose to Utah in the Rose Bowl on January 1st.

Tonight on the show, Holiday Music.

Tonight on the Show, The Game? or NOT The Game? Every year since 1918, the Michigan Wolverines and the Ohio Football Team have played annually, and since 1935, the final game of the Big Ten Regular Season. However, due to a COVID-19 outbreak at Michigan, that is up in the air (EDIT: Tuesday afternoon, #TheGame is officially OFF).

Tonight on the DJBC Happy Hour:
- COVID-19 is getting worse. Ohio is on the road for yet another shutdown as cases are getting worse.
- The Sad State of the Wolverines: Fresh off their first loss to the Hoosiers in 33 years, the Wolverines have their WORST Home Loss in 85 years Under the Lights against a Wisconsin team that hadn't played for 22 days (due to a COVID outbreak with the Badgers)
- Can Indiana knock off Ohio in Columbus for the first time in 33 years this Saturday?
- The Holidays are here, socially distant.
- Jack and Susan return with a very special guest.
- How would the show have celebrated if Maryland had knocked off Ohio (Remember: The Ohio/Maryland Football Game was canceled due to a COVID-19 Outbreak with the Maryland Football Team.)

Tonight, Mrs. Claus joins in on the Christmas Eve Eve fun on The DJBC Happy Hour. The grievances of Festivus were cut for time, though. In Last Call, DJBC predicts the Fiesta Bowl between 13-0 Ohio and 13-0 Clemson.
