Books that give your heart a hug, inspired by the impending Holiday season as well as our personal pursuits to remain happy in the face of a year gone just a little bit off track. Mentioned items include "A Christmas Carol," by Charles Dickens, "Red, White, and Royal Blue," by Casey McQuiston, and so much more.

Shout out to Kevin McCleod for his arrangement of Scott Joplin's Maple Leaf Rag for our opening and ending theme.
