Hello Dreamers and welcome to this, I want to say the

0:29.7

very first holiday episode of California Dreaming. Technically I have done one

0:35.6

Christmas episode but that one is exclusively on Patreon but I really have not

0:41.8

done a Christmas episode for you on here the regular show in the five and a
