Alright, it’s after Christmas, and some of you have “live” Christmas trees. Now that the holiday is over (and the tree is starting to get a bit dried out), how do you dispose of it?

Well the answer is easy in Las Vegas: participate in the 9th annual Christmas tree recycling program at the Springs Preserve! From now until January 15, you can drop off your tree at any of over 20 locations around the valley for free (search for the nearest one here). If that doesn’t work out for you, call 1-800-Got-Junk, and they will pick it up for a mere $30 — they’ll even vacuum up all those fallen pine needles!

89: Fine, I Won’t Pick the Next Movie

As we recount many of our holiday traditions, this episode of the Living in Las Vegas Podcast reminds the viewer that when it comes to watching a DVD on Christmas day with your family, a film that features full-frontal male nudity may not be the right way to go. Show notes:

Christmas Gathering

Last weekend Melissa and I had a GREAT time joining a bunch of friends we’ve made via the LiLV Podcast for dinner and drinks at Buca Di Beppo, on Lake Mead Blvd.  Besides enjoying the company of Jacob, Sally, Alicia, David, Cheryl, Brad, Sally, Kerry and Perry, we were joined by the Pope himself.

Hard to beat that!

Afterwards, Melissa, David, Alicia and I headed down to Frankie’s Tiki Room. 

I’ve included a link to some photos I’ve uploaded on Picasa.  (Some of those Frankie’s photos did not make it online.  Yikes!)

Merry Christmas to all!

It may be last night’s Hot Buttered Rum talking (best holiday drink ever?  YES!) but this morning your buddy SantaScott is opening up his TwitterGifts (of which I wrote about here) to all Living in Las Vegas Podcast & Blog listeners/readers.  To date, I’ve made available five Christmas songs for those following us at twitter.com/LiLVPodcast and now I’m sharing these same songs with you.

To download these songs (which come from my ChristmAcoustic and ChristmAcoustic II CDs), go the the Twitter website and search for LiLVPodcast TwitterGifts (or just click the link).  It will list each TwitterGift and provide a link to each song.

Hope you enjoy!  Merry Christmas everybody!

I’ve enjoyed my time on Twitter and wanted to thank those who’ve decided to “follow” us by creating a series of TwitterGifts. Beginning today and continuing for many days to come, I will be placing an MP3 file from one of the songs available on my ChristmAcoustic or ChristmAcoustic II CD online as a free gift from Melissa and myself. I’ve sold over 40,000 copies of these CDs (200 today!) and wanted to share this music with those of you who’ve made our initial entry into the Twitter world so much fun.

To get your free ChristmAcoustic/ChristmAcoustic II MP3 file(s), follow us at twitter.com/LiLVPodcast. The first one will be posted in an hour or so.

Happy Holidays!

Today’s Holiday Cheer Song is Noel, from Scott’s ChristmAcoustic II CD. But before the song, we are treated to a little fun from Heather and Savannah.

34: Holiday Cheer: Silent Night / Here Comes Santa Claus

I’m feeling in a particularly festive mood today. It’s Friday, bills are paid, business is good, life is good. That said, this episode of the Living In Las Vegas Podcast features two-Two-TWO songs of Holiday Cheer: Silent Night and Here Comes Santa Claus (both from the ChristmAcoustic CD. (BTW, Happy Hanukkah too!)

33: Holiday Cheer (1/6): Little Drummer Boy

It’s the holidays! And in the holiday-giving spirit, we’d like to give something to our listeners. For today’s Living In Las Vegas Podcast, and for the next five shows thereafter, we’re going to provide a little musical holiday cheer from now until Christmas day. Each show will feature a tune from either of Scott’s ChristmAcoustic or ChristmAcoustic II CD. Today’s song is Little Drummer Boy.
