There's something magical about the holiday season that we just can't seem to outgrow. This episode wraps that magic in a big red bow, as Trish Rainone and her husband Giulian join us for a festive romp through our most cherished Christmas songs and memories. From the excitement of childhood toys to the timeless melodies of Bing Crosby and Nat King Cole, we unpack the ingredients that make the holidays the most heartwarming time of year. And, of course, we couldn't resist tossing in a round of Gargleokee, the hilariously soggy game of gargled carols that's sure to get you laughing.

Gather 'round the fireplace with your cocoa, as we stroll through the traditions that define our holiday spirit. There's a seat at the table for everyone as we delve into the importance of disconnecting from our screens to reconnect with the people we hold dear. Our episode is steeped in nostalgia, but it doesn't shy away from the reality of today's fast-paced world. We balance reverence for the past with the creation of new memories, offering you a heartfelt nudge to keep those family customs alive, be it through singing carols or simply being present with each other.

As the snowflakes settle, we bid the season farewell with a final chapter that touches on everything from ugly Christmas sweaters to historical figures we'd invite to dinner. This isn't just an episode; it's a festive celebration of stories, laughter, and community. So, whether you're a fan of holiday feasts or just need a good chuckle over some of the zaniest Christmas foods, this episode is your ticket to a merry and bright conclusion to the year. Join us, Trish, and Giulian for a sleigh ride through the best of holiday cheer!
