Does anybody know if this is a "3-weeker"?

Howard's been on vacation for some time now. The Holiday's just make it more convenient.
yeah, yeah, yeah... we know. If you don't like something, why post in that forum?
At least it's a "new" special and not something like "Best of the Year" or master tapes that were played 1-2 years ago or whatever.
Because it's fun to bitch! and lately Howard has been giving us a lot to bitch about. (ever since Artie was fired really)
yeah, yeah, yeah... we know. Save the keystrokes.

Eh, true. It's always easier to point out the negatives over the positives. Even if you analyze the path of the show since the start of SiriusXM, I think we all weren't expecting anything since 2010. The way the management (supposedly) mistreated Howard and Bubba hurt things...and who wants to work with crappy management? The only downside is that Howard is contractually obligated to show up X number of days.

In a perfect dream world, if he had an "I could pay X money and buy myself out of my contract" a podcast might be a suitable option. He could upload every show since 1980-whenever, including the vacation days. As far as working, he could do his own hours on whatever schedule he wanted.
If I'm Howard, 8am to noon or even 9-1 three days a week podcast sounds about right. No more bosses at all, get to go out late with Beth, no more 4 AM alarm clocks, etc.
Keep the other shows from Howard 101 on the podcast site under my own brand.
Do that for one or MAAAYBE two years and then be done.
I know it would be way the hell too much work, but it would be fun for the listeners.
The least he could have done was a string of A list guests. Gotta remember that was the Stern that cared. The Billy Joel day was a nice send off last year (or the year before that). I'll have to remember to keep low expectations for a guy the sharp downside of his weekly efforts and in the twilight of his satrad career.
I heard a Howard 100 News Break say that the show will be back on Jan 2nd (Wednesday). They will be live Wednesday, Thursday and Friday that week and then back to the usual Monday - Wednesday the following week.
He must need a few extra Mondays when he travels for AGT or the day after live shows. Might be the first Friday show since 2006.
He probably doesn't have enough vacation days for 2012
Jan 2nd is in 2013.
