Summary

The PMP A-Team (Mark, Lawrence, Sarahlyn, and Al) talk about the canon of Christmas songs, from centuries-old carols to current attempts by pop stars to get added to this cycle of cash-flow. Happy holidays, everybody!

We also do a bit of year-end reflection, getting into various things we've watched with some recommendations and ambivalent reflections.
