Every Christmas, there's one song you just can't escape—and who would want to? Mariah Carey's festive hit isn't just a catchy tune; it's a holiday phenomenon. This episode pulls back the curtain on the economics of Christmas classics and the substantial cheer they spread. We'll trade stories from the trenches of decorating in both winter wonderlands and sunny retreats, and debate the merits of a cozy, snow-free Christmas versus the classic white backdrop. Join us as we reminisce about the holiday traditions that have shaped our festivities and friendships over the years.
Have you ever brought home more than just a Christmas tree? Laugh along as we recount the tale of a praying mantis egg sac's surprise appearance during our holiday decorating. The quirks of the season don't stop there—from early-bird retail setups to the post-holiday shopping sprees for discounted décor, we explore the full gamut of yuletide delights and dilemmas. We even touch on how donning a Santa suit or revisiting our favorite holiday movies can reignite the Christmas spirit in anyone feeling like a Scrooge.
The centerpiece of our yuletide gathering? A raucous Christmas movie bracketology where we passionately pit timeless classics against each other. Will 'Elf' outwit 'Home Alone'? Does 'The Polar Express' have the magic to beat 'The Nightmare Before Christmas'? Tune in to find out as we crown the champion of Christmas cinema, and along the way, bathe in the warm glow of cherished childhood memories, from family tree-decorating to the nostalgic thrill of Santa's arrival. Share your own holiday film favorites with us and join the conversation—because when it comes to Christmas movies, everyone has a contender for the top spot.
