Holiday ENCORE #3: Our Favorite Christmas Books, Movies & Music

December 17, 2016

This is an encore presentation of one of our favorite holiday episodes from last year. The links have all been updated for 2016. Enjoy!
Have you been meaning to watch old holiday film classics but never get around to it? Or are you just as disturbed as we are by some of the mid-century Christmas TV programming (looking at you, Rudolph)? In this podcast episode, Meagan and Sarah talk about our favorite – and not-so-much – holiday movies, TV, books, and music. Join us!
