Just in the nick of time, here’s our Patreon-exclusive November bonus show! This month, we’re answering a bunch of your holiday-related questions. If you want to play along, feel free to add your answers to the comments:

1) Do you have any special holiday decorations that you particularly look forward to seeing each year?

2) Least favorite holiday dish?

3) Favorite holiday dessert?

4) Can you name a time when you were extremely jealous over a friend or relative’s holiday gift?

5) Name your top 5 holiday movies, and no, you can’t name 6 or 7.

We hope you guys enjoy the show, and thanks so much for supporting us on Patreon. (It’s now officially been a year for us on here!) We’ll be back soon with our next full-length episode!

1. Blow molds and vintage Christmas ornaments 2. Sweet Potatoes 3. Candy cane sugar cookies 4. Probably something stupid expensive like a new MacBook or phone 5. Pee-Wee’s Christmas Special (counts right?) Home Alone, Christmas Vacation, Classic Rudolph tv special, and A Christmas Story

1. No. :) 2. Anything that isn't pizza 3. Cherry cheesecake filling (I don't eat the crust) 4. I was always jealous of my cousins' toys. But they were jealous of my parent's stable marriage and how we were never in debt, so I guess it all works out! 5. Since others have included TV specials, so will I - both of the Red Green Christmas specials, and... that's it. Not big on Xmas movies

1. The Maghera town decorations. 2. Prawn cocktail, I love prawns but hate Maire-Rose sauce. 3. My grandmother's homemade trifle. 4. I cannot think of any; I was the only nerd of my age in a small town, so the others always got football nonsense. 5. Diehard, Home Alone, The Muppets Christmas Carol, It's a Wonderful Life and Blue Toes the Christmas Elf.

1) Years ago, my mom lost a box or two of our Christmas decorations. They included our stockings, which were made by our neighbor at the time. This woman's talent for making clothes and decorations was impressive to say the least. She made a number of things for us, including what I believe were the first "ugly" Christmas sweaters (or in our case, sweatshirts). They had a Christmas tree on them with a number of "decorations" made out of little things she probably found at a craft store. So if they were still around, I'd pick our stockings and this advent calendar: https://www.ebay.com/itm/RARE-VINTAGE-Eagle-Felt-Christmas-Advent-Calendar-Fixer-Upper-Holiday-Decor-/392553870579?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&nma=true&si=BGVsNS533TkTm%252FzalGu1lt5dnbw%253D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc For things that still exist, I have a hard time deciding between the glass tree filled with Holiday M&Ms, a hand-made Christmas tree door hanger, and these two things: https://flic.kr/p/2hitx54 https://flic.kr/p/2hisxdg BTW, my mom has the circus decoration that Matt mentioned. Ironicly, it's not a favorite in our family. In fact, my mom hesitated to put it out this year. 2) Everything my mom makes is good. However, a few years ago, we had Thanksgiving dinner at my dad's. My step mom made green bean casserole with bacon instead of fried onions, which I didn't care for. 3) Probably butter cookies. 4) No. I mean there were years when I didn't get something I really wanted, but I don't think any friend or relative got it. 5) I'm more into the specials, so the only movies I could come up with are Ernest Saves Christmas, Christmas Vacation, and Home Alone. I might watch "A Christmas Story" if someone else it watching it, but it's not a favorite. I got tired of it years ago, thanks to TBS.

Daddy Quack

1. All the ones my son has made or any with my kids names on them. Bianca and Bernard. 2. Any kinds of pickle-y appetizers. 3. Not a huge dessert fan so maybe chocolate chip cookies when they are warm. 4. My grandmother got my sister The Legend of Zelda, and I cant even remember what I got, but it was nowhere near as awesome. 5. Christmas Vacation, Pee Wee's Christmas Special, Home Alone, Mickey's Christmas Carol, the Perfect Strangers episode A Christmas Story.

I just got around to listening to this last week and I'm kind of glad I did, as it has delightfully extended my Holiday Season on into the New Year. I highly recommend being a lazy listener like me. 1. Travis the Singing Trout sings "The Night Before Christmas" like Elvis from my mantle every year. Every year, for the past 19(!), now, I've wondered when I'd take him out and have to change his batteries. He's still going strong. 2. I'm going to say cordial cherries are my least favorite, but that won't stop me from destroying them at 1:00AM after one too many eggnogs. 3. I could eat a whole pecan pie, AND I DID. 4. I had 3 siblings, so that was probably every year until I was 20. 5. If we're going to separate movies from TV specials, AND WE SHOULD, I'm going to say Die Hard, Christmas Vacation, It's a Wonderful Life, A Christmas Story, and the only and best Christmas courtroom drama, Miracle on 34th Street.
