The Insomnia Project Holiday Episodes are back! 

Every day in December we will feature a different holiday themed episode with a festive feel. Some will be from Holidays past and some will be from Holiday present and if you give us your idea for an episode they will be featured in a Holiday future episode. Regardless sit back with a warm cup of cider, tea, cocoa, vin brulé, latte with pumpkin spice and enjoy the cheer we share with you.
