Summary
All your questions answered! This week, as the Thanksgiving daze settles gradually over us all, I dig into the mailbag and pull out three juicy questions I haven't had time to answer yet in the course of the show. Did Plato invent the myth of Atlantis? What kind of love does Jesus ask for from Peter after his betrayal? And what did Paul mean that personal spiritual gifts shall fall away when we see love "face to face"? It's a deep dive into questions linguistic, spiritual, and philosophical. Plus: a dig at 19th-century Germans.

| 0:48.6 | Bing Crosby and Nat King Cole and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and all the various other Christmas songs that you are now allowed to play because not only is Thanksgiving over which means that Santa Claus has crossed the relevant boundary in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade, |
| 1:05.0 | allowing all good and observant Christians to play Christmas music. |
| 1:09.8 | This is the official designation in 2023 America. |
