Hey, Judge John Hodgman listeners, it's Baylif Jesse here.

We just wanted to let you know that this week's episode of the Judge John Hodgman podcast

is a special holiday episode that happens to contain some adults-only content.

So if you're not comfortable with your child learning about some adults-only holiday-themed

information, Santa Claus, then turn this off now.

Or turn it down to a volume that only you can hear.

I'm not talking about sexy Santa Claus, like Santa Baby Santa Claus.

It's an existential discussion about Santa Claus.

Do you get it grown-ups?

Welcome to the Judge John Hodgman podcast.

I'm Baylif Jesse Thorne.

This week, probable clause, Andrew brings the case against his wife, Alex.

They disagree on one major aspect of child rearing.

Should parents foster a belief in Santa Claus?

Alex thinks it's an important tradition.

Andrew didn't grow up believing in Santa Claus and thinks that perpetuating the myth

just means lying to your kids.

Only one man can decide Santa's fate in this household.

Please rise as Judge John Hodgman enters the courtroom.

Thank you, Baylif Jesse.

I have a letter here from a Baylif Jesse.
