But, most importantly, THE Game - the 7th ranked Ohio State B*ckeyes (10-1, 7-0) host the Michigan Wolverines (5-6, 3-4) in a do-or-die match for the Wolverines, in what will more than likely be the final game of the Brady Hoke era at Michigan.

Tonight, on The DJBC Happy Hour Holiday Classic, it's a Christmas Roadtrip, with Holiday Songs from around the world, and about other places, both real and imagined, from "Christmas in Los Angeles" to "Christmas in Killarney", to "Christmas in Hollis", to "O Christmas Tree" in its traditional German.

Tonight on the show, Thanksgiving (with the Macy's Parade sketch at the beginning), and the Ohio State-Michigan game. The # 3-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes (11-0) have won 23 straight under Head Coach Urban Meyer. Michigan (7-4), which had high hopes early in the season, is free-falling faster than the temperatures, and needs a win over Ohio, otherwise there is a high chance there will be a new Wolverine Head Football Coach in 2014.

Weekend events mentioned include the Holiday Lights Parade in Gahanna, Village Lights in German Village, Holiday Hop in the Short North, the Ohio Statehouse Christmas Tree lighting, the Christmas Corner lighting in the Discovery District, and Mistletoe Market in Grove City.

Also, a look back on the 50th anniversary of the John F. Kennedy assassination, and a brief acknowledgement of the 150th anniversary of the Gettysburg Address.

Later in the week on http://djbcadventures.tumblr.com, The DJBC Happy Hour Ohio State/Michigan Preview.
