Merry Christmas boys and girls!

And everyone else out there in Podcast Land, this is your host, Santa Claus.

Podcasting in from the North Pole where I live in my toolshed with my elves.

They're busy making gifts for all the children around the world.

But I have a few more nights to kick back and relax and talk to you on my microphone

before I have a big trip around the world on my magical sled that's pulled by eight

magic reindeer, Blitzer and Donner and Franklin and Beesmos and Rudolph and Saturn and Venus.

And Dancer and Dancer. And Rasmus and Rudolph and Saturn and Venus and...

Dancer and Prancer. And I'm joined on the line by John Kimball.

face um i was going to say facial know if that's the way it works for me, but I did buy some face, I was going to say facial lubricant. That's not right. Face lotion. I'm going to start getting into moisturizing my face.

That's good. What is it, Sarajevi? It's called, I can't remember. I bought it at Walgreens.

Vaseline? No, I don't think it's Vaseline. It's something else.
