#41 - Weird & Wonderful Holiday Specials with James Walters

Happy holidays! What…too soon? I know, I know, this is the debate of the year. When should we start with all the holiday celebrating. Obviously, as one who won’t shut up about being hooked on holiday movies, I fall into the camp of earlier. But even if you’re not, I hate to break it to you…it’s already the middle of November, and Thanksgiving is right around the corner. So, today my brother James and I are talking holiday specials. NOT holiday movies, but the animated specials, the parades, the concerts, the light contests and gift wrapping contests and, let’s have a moment of silence for the days of the a capella singing contests. We reminisce about our family’s weird holiday traditions and then pick our top 3 holiday specials. And I’m going to tell you right now that we probably left out your favorites. So find me on Instagram or email me at [email protected] to let me know what I forgot. Listen to the show and just see if, by the end, your heart doesn’t grow three sizes.
