Carmen and John continue a Christmas tradition on the Centipod by not having any tradition at all. John tells the tale of the time he had to fake talking to Santa on his cell phone in order to fool his toddler son and save the day. Meanwhile, Carmen reads random letters from strangers to Santa so she can mercilessly pick them apart for all sorts of non-Christmas-y reasons. The continuing homeless problem in this great nation of ours is also discussed. Throughout, the listener is treated to special Yuletide messages from Santa, Mrs. Claus, some reindeer, and...the ghost of Casey Kasem!
