This week we take a break from our normal conversations for the annual Christmas Light-Roast edition of the show. 

It seems like every year when I sit down to write these episodes I have the same thought: “What new is there possibly left to say about Christmas?”

So instead of meditating on the day itself, for 2024 I decided to focus my thoughts towards the future -well, a very short distance into the future.

The day after Christmas - at least in countries that don’t celebrate Boxing Day - isn’t widely discussed. 

But if you’ve ever woken up at 3am to put together a present or had to host a family dinner, then you know that no matter how well you plan, there’s always that small voice of worry. 

But sometimes when your plans veer off course, you end up finding the destination you arrived at was more beautiful than you could have planned in the first place. 

So for this week’s episode, hear how an unmade documentary, a controversial jazz album, and scheduling error led to the greatest Christmas special of all time, and why it still serves as a reminder that the simplest moments are the ones that truly make the season bright. 

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from everyone at Legal Grounds.
