Hello everyone it's Eric I produce faded mates and I'm here to introduce what has become a holiday tradition at the show which means this year once again we will be running a short new episode with

Jan and Sarah followed by a rerun of last year's Christmas episode which follows the previous year's holiday

episode. If you wondered why this one took so long to download, that's why. Last year up front, I talked about some of my favorite Christmas music and I just want to add one new song to the mix this year. It's by the lovely eggs and it goes like this.

Oh,

Tyrannosaurus rex for Christmas.

A Tyrannosaurus rex for Christmas. If that song didn't connect with you, it's probably because you're not screaming

if that song didn't connect with you, it's probably because you're not screaming along with it at the top of your lungs.

Give it a try. You can find the whole track and show notes.

Thanks for sticking with us for another year. We really appreciate it and now on with the show.

Happy holidays! is.

Eric was like, you really don't even pretend to like the holidays on the podcast.

Well, before we started, Sarah was like,

holidays are not for what you want.

They're not, they're not for what you want.

I'm sorry, they're just not.

I'm sorry if you're out there Linda I know you're out there with

your 31 days of Christmas sweaters and I know that you love it and I I I support you

as Jen would say I support you.

you.

Oh my God, Sarah, can I tell you something really funny and kind of terrible?

Okay, everyone knows I'm a teacher.

I don't really talk about like my particular students or my I just generally
