Episode 13: We'll Stick Baby Jesus Anywhere
This episode is an exploration of three Christmas songs, six holiday traditions, and, apparently, ambulance sirens.
We explore mistletoe, kissing balls, Christmas caroling, Christmas boogering, fruitcake, and holiday treat bags. We also see Dr. J realizing he would much rather host than provide commentary. Also, we learn that Dr. J does listen to things besides country.
If you're listening live in December of 2022, there will be a two week break between this and Episode 14.
