šŸŽ„ Welcome to our Christmas Episode!

John kicks off this festive special with a cheerful intro and some Christmas caroling to set the holiday mood. We're spreading extra joy this week as we dive into all things Christmas—no regular segments, but John has jokes, plenty of laughs, stories, and heartwarming moments!

🌟 Segment 1: Reminiscing About Christmas

We take a trip down memory lane to share some of our favorite Christmas memories:

  • Favorite Gifts: Mark remembers receiving Jack Kerouac’s Book of Dreams from Carol during his senior year of college—a standout gift!
  • Funny Gift Stories: From giving Carol a shopping cart to sneaking gifts to Westchester and the big surprises like a swing set and Xbox for the kids, these stories will bring a smile to your face.
  • Gift-Giving Traditions:
    • Unwrapping one gift at a time to savor the moment.
    • Going through our stockings during a big Irish breakfast.
    • šŸŽ Segment 2: Favorite Christmas Rituals and Events

      The joy of traditions keeps the holiday spirit alive!

      • Family Traditions:
        • Christmas Eve dinner with loved ones.
        • Reading The Polar Express and Twas the Night Before Christmas.
        • šŸ˜‚ Segment 3: Christmas Jokes with John and Mark

          No Christmas episode is complete without some festive humor! Here’s a sneak peek at a few of our jokes:

          • What did Frosty’s girlfriend give him when she was mad at him? The cold shoulder!
          • How much did Santa pay for his sleigh? Nothing—it was on the house!
          • What do you call Santa when he’s on a break? A Santa pause.
          • šŸŽ„ Segment 4: Christmas Messages

            We wish you all a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and Happy Kwanzaa. No matter what you celebrate, may your holidays be filled with love, joy, and happiness.

            šŸŽ¶ Closing: A Festive Farewell

            We wrap up with a Christmas poem to send you on your way:
            "Beneath the tree, with lights so bright,
            Our family's love is pure delight.
            In gifts we give and time we share,
            We feel the magic everywhere."
