#371: The Ghost of Christmas Clip Shows Past

Published: Dec. 28, 2018, 4:14 a.m.

This episode originally aired in December 2017. That said, it\u2019ll still do a fine job distracting you at work this week in 2018. Enjoy! Here\u2019s the original write-up: \u201cYou cannot sing \u2018parum pum pum pum\u2019 and make it sound sexy and soulful. It just sounds stupid.\u201d It\u2019s the holiday season, so we thought we\u2019d dig into the world of TBTL and Christmas (fear not, non-Christians \u2013 you\u2019re welcome, too!). Christy and Ann are ready to share their thoughts on everything from loud ringing bells to NORAD\u2019s Santa Watch. Luke\u2019s obsession with Christmas music leads us into a long discussion of our own likes and dislikes. Jen is once again proven to be our spirit animal. The story of Luke\u2019s first adult Christmas makes us feel warm and fuzzy. Ann spreads a family story that we\u2019re sure her brother will appreciate. Plus, nativity shenanigans, problematic cookie exchanges, and two wonderful traditions in the Wise family. And we discover a shocking fact about Zac Efron that makes us feel better about our impending mortality. P.S. Sorry this show is so long, but it\u2019s mostly because we put a massive bonus clip at the end that we couldn\u2019t bear to leave out. Also, we talked a lot. \xa0 This show contains clips from the following TBTL episodes: 11/24/2008 (holiday music); 12/09/2010 (Jen Andrews, Salvation Army Bell, Paul McCartney, Simply Having a Wonderful Christmas Time, Cate Blanchett, face cream); 12/06/2012 (Luke\u2019s first radio show, NORAD Santa watch); 12/16/2013 (Luke\u2019s childhood, Christmas tree, Ariel tree topper).
