12 Days of Christmas


Listen Later

Now that we are within 12 days of Christmas, Michelle and Suzanne bring listeners the first of their two Christmas episodes. As you will discover, this season, all the way from Thanksgiving to New Years, is Michelle’s absolute favorite, and she and Suzanne have a lot of great stories and observations to provide some much needed cheer to everyone here today. Just a heads-up that, since they will be talking about the many ‘behind the scenes’ aspects of Christmas, you may want to listen to today’s episode in a kid free zone.

 
They begin by sharing some examples of the spirit of Christmas that have already taken place in their lives this year, and then review the status of their Christmas shopping so far. Our hosts go on to recount their stories about mall Santas as well as Christmas memories, traditions, and meals. They finish up this first Christmas episode of the year by reviewing their gift giving traditions and opinions. As we all know, 2020 has been a year unlike any other, making this lighthearted and thoroughly entertaining episode just what everyone needs to bring that joyful spirit of Christmas to life.
