Hello everybody. Welcome to another episode of the Crime and Coffee couple. My name's Allison. And my name's Mike.

Hi, Mike. Hey, baby girl. How's it going? It's Christmas Eve in the city. Is that a song? No, I just made it up because my voice is just beautiful. And I thought I would give our listeners the gift of this voice.

What a gift.

What a gift indeed.

Man, that's, uh, if you wanted anything else special this Christmas season, you just got it, folks.

I mean, no gift your family will give you could ever top that.

It's funny.

I was starting to think about singing too and I was like, it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.

Well, at least mine was an original yeah it was it was original there's a good reason nobody's made that song

probably so but hey maybe next year we can record it yeah so this uh that's Christmas Eve folks we're here

yeah yeah so it's uh it's important you know to to mention you know this isn't a happy season for everybody you know so if you're

struggling with stuff you reach out to somebody there's people out there they definitely want to

help so but you know it's it's it's a lot of thinking about family you know there's a lot of

people where they think about the losing loved ones and things of that nature which is totally

totally natural and part of the human condition.

You know, we think of the people we used to have, whether it was losing them around Christmas time or just them not being here with us at Christmas.

And, you know, Christmas is a lot of pressure.

And, you know, we want to make it perfect for our children if you have them.

It's a hectic time of year.

A lot of commercialization. We went to target yesterday, me and the kids, to get Allison something to open because she,

oh yeah, I guess that was a secret, but I told the kids.

So it's very important for your mother to open something on Christmas, okay?
