Welcome to the Lance Walnau Christmas show with Lance and Annabelle.

Hello.

Welcome to the show today.

Thank you for inviting me.

I'm so glad you're here.

Now that you are awake, she says thank you for inviting me because when we started doing these podcasts, I was doing them late at night.

You guys know I do late night shows.

And one night, it was around 11 or 1130. Midnight. I was, or midnight. I was waxing prolific in one of my evening rants for like 45 minutes. Oh my gosh. Anyway, I look over at my wife and she's asleep like that right on the show. I put her to sleep. No, it wasn't that you put me to sleep. I go to sleep at 10.30 usually. As far as I was concerned.

I could put any picture back there. I could put a Macy's Day, you know, parade, big, you know, floating whatever, Ronald McDonald or something. Just tell me what you think I need to put

behind me here. We're going to get a couple of them. We'll pick one of them. I need an image behind

me. Annabelle, your family taught me something about Christmas. I don't know if I ever told you

this. In my family, we had a celebration routine. Well, it was chaos. So at Christmas, it was like we all showed up

down there together, all eager, three boys, mom and dad, and go. And everybody would start opening

their presents at the same time from one to the next to the next. Woo, it was paper flying. Yeah,

yipes screams, excitement, shrieks of joy and then

and it was all done it was like like like piranhas had hit the papers flying everywhere
