"Your baby grows a tooth, then two,

and four, and five, then she wants some meat

directly from the bone. It's all

over: she'll learn some words, she'll fall

in love with cretins, dolts, a sweet

talker on his way to jail. And you,

your wife, get old, flyblown, and rue

nothing. You did, you loved, your feet

are sore. It's dusk. Your daughter's tall."

John Dios explains the meaning of the Christmas to his kids during a walk through the woods of Southern New England, then brings them to the mall where he slips into a hallucinatory reverie and is visited by the many ghosts of Christmas Twitter. After attaining MANDATORY JOLLINESS, the Dios Family returns home to a small town Christmas Tree lighting and musical finale.

In this very special crossover episode John and Jessica pray for the poor souls in purgatory and make a visit to THE PERFUME NATIONALIST where they meditate on the four last things (Death, Judgement, Heaven, Hell)with Jack (@lotus__point) and Orant (@0rt_nt_per). Music is a full original setting of the latin requiem mass by John Dios.
