Hey HSWL fans! It’s another Holiday Specials We Love – Chat Edition,
driven by your questions and fueled by pure holiday nostalgia.
This time, we dive into childhood Christmas memories — from first-grade
holiday plays and forgotten Christmas songs to paper-plate reindeer, glitter
disasters, and classroom parties powered by Doritos, cupcakes, and Elmer’s
glue. There’s a deep dive into when we all really found out about Santa,
including one reveal that lingered in the Pumpkin Patch a little longer than
most, and another that hit hard on a kindergarten bus ride home.
We talk Gen-X parenting realities, why a little holiday magic still
matters, favorite Christmas movies, unforgettable gifts like Atari and Pong,
and why fourth grade might have been peak Christmas for a lot of us. We shout out listeners, candy-cane ratings, Monkees trivia, and the shared memories that keep this season feeling magic — even when the truth eventually catches up.
As always, please give us a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts, text us your
thoughts at 351-251-2511, and find us on Patreon. The holiday season is
