It’s the week before Christmas and, as usual, The Takeaway is celebrating with our annual “Remixing the Holidays” series. Throughout the month, we’re talking with musicians, actors, experts listeners about the best and worst songs of the season.
Today’s guest is Grammy award-winning singer and actor Olivia Newton-John. Her newest album is a collaboration with John Travolta, called "This Christmas." In addition to Travolta and Newton-John, the album includes contributions from Barbra Streisand, Tony Bennett, James Taylor, and others. Proceeds from the album will go to children’s and cancer charities.

If you have a sattelite dish, you should be able to watch the Aussie Chanels and Xmas songs in Australia.
Oh and Olivia should do a collaboration with "The Chipmunks." I think they are reuniting for the Mayan Apocalypse... They can do a Apo-calypso Christmess song
I would like to hear a summertime Australian Christmas song... something like Santa goes Surfing This Christmas, I Saw Santa In A Speedo or Santa got a Tan for Christmas, or Santa Beach Blanket Bingo... Ask Olivia if she wants me to write a couple dozen songs this Christmas... We'll call it Summertime Christmas
