Summary

The holidays are here once again, which means its time for all you listeners to take your thirteenth trip to Parts Unknown for yet another exploration of a Yuletide-related video game creation. And this time around, we're examining the Pac-Man Christmas Album: a collection of holiday songs and sketches that very little to do with Pac-Man, but everything to do with hurting. So remember who you are right now, because the following 90 minutes will change you as Bob Mackey, Henry Gilbert, and Diamond Feit thoroughly pore over this musical atrocity. Apologies in advance for ruining Christmas.

Retronauts is a completely fan-funded operation. To support the show, and get two full-length exclusive episodes every month, as well as access to 50+ previous bonus episodes, please visit the official Retronauts Patreon at patreon.com/retronauts.

0:45.1	outside of 90 minutes of free podcasting labor which I treasured dearly. But
0:49.9	darn it, sometimes on Christmas you just want to tear the wrapping paper off a
0:52.8	bought object in an absolute frenzy. So after the unpleasantness with regular
0:57.1	Santa Claus last year, I've taken the liberty of writing a letter to Canadian Santa Claus.
1:01.2	Yep, they've got their own customs and money and everything up here.
1:04.3	It's pretty crazy if you think about it.
1:05.8	And thanks to my new home country's many socialized bookhouses or libraries,
1:10.2	I've thoroughly researched Canada's bizarre and freakish customs, so I'm fully prepared for a visit from old Saint Gord.
1:17.0	When he arrives in his Dodge Charger, pulled by three Moose and one elk, he'll be happy to see I've laid out all the expected Canadian Santa Claus treats.
1:24.7	A six-pack of Labat Blue, gently cooling by the fire, his choice of ketchup chips or all-dressed chips,
1:30.8	a chafing dish filled to the brim with low sodium poutine, and if he wants to rest
1:35.1	his weary old bones, I prepared a ceremonial beanbag chair and placed it in front of a TV playing a constant
1:41.3	loop of the 1987 Canada Cup.
