Summary
Warning: This episode contains Christmas spoilers! And is not suitable for young ears.
In this festive special, you get three members of the Logan family instead of one! Gabby is joined by Lois and Kenny to relive some of their most memorable (and embarrassing) Christmas moments, and share their favourite Yuletide traditions. You’ll be left wondering whether a white wine Fanta spritz is worth a try? How old is too old for Kids’ Mass on Christmas Eve? And is there anything more pointless than decorative Christmas crackers? They also reflect on 2024; how Gabby and Kenny have adjusted to a fully empty nest (spoiler alert: listening to The Mid.Point is key), and how Lois has found her first term at university.

So I thought what better time to get Lois and Kenny back on the podcast. Now, I've not deliberately left our son Rubin out. He's not been excommunicated. He's just got a very busy working life at the moment. The life of a professional sportsman obviously doesn't stop just because it's Christmas time. So he literally will just get Christmas day off. But Lois and Kenny are with us today. And Christmas time is a time to be reflective. It's a time to remember your traditions, your Christmas memories. |

| 1:07.1 | It wasn't what I was expecting. |
| 1:08.5 | I wasn't expecting a cafe for one. |
| 1:11.7 | The studio is at the back of a restaurant and record shop. It's quite cool. |
| 1:15.8 | Yeah, it's very cool, yeah. |
| 1:16.7 | Cool than you thought the midpoint might be. |
