Elves on Shelves and Ashley's Dad is Clearly Santa

Gina and I talk Christmas, and do some armchair analysis of traditions like Elf on the Shelf and the concept of Santa Claus. Is Christmas just a celebration of Big Brother and toxic guilt tripping? We think not. Find out why. 

Also, our mutual Twitter friend Ashley's dad is the most legit Santa Claus I've ever seen in my life. One of my favorite things is to include listeners in our lunacy, and Ashley was so generous to share this shot of her dad that I've used as episode artwork this week. 

Have a beautiful, peaceful Christmas filled with love, sanity, gratitude, and reflection. 

We've a new year on our doorstep and, honestly, it can not be that hard to improve upon the year we've already trudged through if we just keep our chins as up as we can. And trust me, it is not like me to offer that advice, but for about the past month I have been undergoing a somewhat jarring change of personality. Could be me maturing. Could be the onset of a stroke, for all I know. But all I do know is that I have felt this amniotic weighted blanket of general peace settling over me and I can't explain why or how, but I also don't want it to go away. 

Maybe I'm actually freezing to death. They say freezing to death comes with the same subjective experience, more or less. 

Either way, let's kick this holiday's ass and then square up to 2021 like the badass muthas we are.
