Welcome back  Holiday Specials We Love fans, On this episode we talk  “2000 Miles” and the real story behind the Pretenders Christmas song, the importance of a full package Christmas —Christmas Eve magic, Christmas Day travel, matching pajamas, family celebrations, and why anything less than the full package just doesn’t work.

We assign The Brady’s and Nestor the Long-Eared Donkey as part of the
Winter Reading Progrum. Talk the need to promote Christmas Eve Eve, The “Wait…we’re working today?” and the belief that this day should already be a holiday.

We talk gifting the community — a backyard setup complete with a
shed for Santa, decorations, lights, and even a movie screen. The philosophy is simple: do the heavy lifting first, then bring in the elves.

We dive deep into hot chocolate — memories of growing up with
“scalding brown water,” to Kev’s winter hack: warm milk, maybe a little cream, and real whipped cream (love and light to the Cool Whip community). There’s even a name drop over the Kraft family’s silky, decadent hot chocolate at the Patriots game, which instantly set a new bar for what cocoa should be.
