🎄 It’s 1986, and Santa looks different after arriving late to the mall due to a flat reindeer. 

🎙 Joe Fulton, the Christmas Aficionado, joins us for a semi-festive Christmas episode of “Mama’s Family” that will have you believing in either Santa or ghosts at the end of it. 

📺 You can watch “Santa Mama” on the Internet Archive.
