Here's what happened:

In the 90's James used to throw these big Christmas parties for his friends. Well, during the summer of 1999, James did a one man show at the Cinegrill and they asked him to come back and and do another show real soon. James had a lot of friends at that show come up to him after and say "I wish I could do a show like that", and he said, "just put it together" and they said, "I couldn't come up with a full hour of material"....Sooooooo...James figured he could kill 2-3 birds with one show! He would;

1. Do another show at the Cinegrill,

2. Instead of a Christmas party, James would host a Christmas show, and

3. All of James' talented friends wouldn't have to put together a full show, but only a number to have fun performing!...sort of like those variety Christmas specials from when we were kids.

And that is sort of how it all started; as a show for friends! Well, it was such a hit, that the next year those friends brought friends, and it has just grown into the holiday spectacular it is today! Now we're doing the show for friends of friends of friends of friends - and loving it.

Some say the shows a cross between a Perry Como Christmas special and Pee Wee's Playhouse. Others say the old Muppet Show with James as Kermit as the host trying to hold the show together as all these crazy characters are all around him. One thing is for sure, you leave with the Christmas spirit!
