It’s the week before Christmas, and The Takeaway is celebrating with our annual "Remixing the Holidays" series. All week long we're talking with musicians, music lovers, and you about the best, and worst, songs of the season. On Wednesday, The Takeaway spoke with Jon Solomon, a DJ who hosts an annual 24-hour Christmas show on Princeton University's WPRB. Today, we speak with Jason Segel, star of the new "Muppet Movie," as well as "How I Met Your Mother," "Forgetting Sarah Marshall," and "Freaks and Geeks" about why the Muppets are among his favorite holiday music-makers.

as long as less than 50% of NYC's population is not christian, why are you wasting so much time on xmas songs?do you do the same for other religious observances and the music that is indigenous to them?

I hate Santa Baby - It's creepy and to some degree it is sexist (women have to get a guy to provide for them). Santa should never be viewed as a sugar daddy. yuck!
