Put your pagan feet on the ole Yule log and let the Ringside Preachers tell you a better tale about how the world began and what heroes once did to save it.

Topics:

1. Christmas gift guide for guys, from the Preacher men
2. The Tim Burton of Advent stories: theological differences between the 1-year and 3-year lectionaries
3. If some sort of dystopian event happens, what's in your "bug out bag"?
4. "He knew how to keep Christmas well," from Charles Dickens. Do we have that knowledge?
