The holidays have arrived on Sheltered Sages, and with them comes peak family chaos. In this Christmas-themed episode, Andrew and Philip dive into Reddit stories filled with awkward gift exchanges, clashing traditions, and the kind of holiday tension that only shows up once a year. From well-meaning plans gone wrong to moments that turn festive cheer into quiet resentment, the Sages unpack what happens when expectations, family, and Christmas spirit collide. Grab some cocoa, settle in, and enjoy a holiday episode stuffed with laughs, debates, and just a little seasonal picklefoot energy.
