I hate the holidays.

You can leave that in, Paul.

Hi, I'm Todd Nathanson.

And I'm Lena Morgan.

And it's our annual Christmas song versus song.

Every holiday season, we pick out two holiday songs for all of you to argue over and for us to argue over. And this week,

this year, this beautiful year, we are going to be doing Ariana Grande's Santa Tell Me versus

Kelly Clarkson's underneath the tree. And we have a special Christmas gift in the studio today. Would you like to

introduce yourself? Hello, it's me. No, not you, Lena. No, I was saying gift. It's weird. You're a

gift now. Yes. I appreciate it. I like to think of myself in those terms anyway. Hi, I'm Mike the snare. I'm here

to Mike the Halls and deck the snare and be festive and joyful and musical while doing it. Thank you

both for having me on yet again. It's a Christmas miracle. And I figured we needed a little help

on this one because when I announced the episode last, last episode, this upcoming episode, Lina looked into the camera with just the blankest face.

Because what a, what a Christmas insult.

Oh, no, not these.

Not new Christmas songs?

First of all, I didn't even know there were a new Christmas song.

I'm middle-aged.

I don't have to know these things anymore.

You're making me know things that I don't want to know.

I don't have to know.

I shouldn't know.
