Stockings, Lifesavers, and Chocolate Oranges: A Festive Throwback


Step into the holiday time machine with The Insomnia Project as hosts Amanda Barker and Marco Timpano revisit the festive season of 2020. The episode kicks off with a cozy discussion about fireplaces and stockings, meandering into the intriguing world of unique holiday traditions.


The hosts share anecdotes about their friend Jeff's Hannukah stocking, sparking conversations about mantle materials and the nostalgic story of Amanda's mom crafting handmade stockings. The deep or shallow stocking debate ensues, leading to a spirited discussion on whether the gifts inside should be wrapped or left au naturel.


As the holiday banter unfolds, Marco claims the existence of a 'rum raisin' flavor of Lifesavers in holiday Lifesaver books, setting the stage for a lively debate on Santa's preferred gift-delivery methods. Amanda takes a trip down memory lane, recounting the contrasting experiences of receiving a "Get in Shape Girl" versus her sister's coveted Barbie Townhouse.


The hosts explore the tradition of finding mandarins and walnuts nestled in stockings, sharing nostalgic tales of holiday citrus. The conversation takes a sweet turn with a discussion on Terry's chocolate oranges and the sheer joy of smashing them open.
