On Christmas Day, we’re revisiting our very first Christmas episode.

Recorded years ago but still very much in the spirit of the season, this re-release finds Tomas and Phil talking through the origins of Christmas traditions, the stop-motion holiday specials that permanently rewired our brains, and what actually makes a gift meaningful (even when the shopping hasn’t happened yet).

It’s reflective, nostalgic, a little rambling in the best way — and a reminder that Christmas isn’t just about what’s under the tree, but the stories, rituals, and small moments we carry forward year after year.

Merry Christmas and happy holidays from the Jocular Pugilists.

Let us know what you think.
