Ahhh, the sweet aroma of Christmas nostalgia...For those of you who celebrate, was Christmas better in childhood or now during your adult years? If you grew up in the 90s, Christmas was pretty dope. In this surprise episode of I Love The 90s, the companion series to Lexual Does The 90s, we'll talk about major and minor Christmas history from 1990-1999. You'll notice how much stuff in this episode intersects with our main series! I love doing these fun trivia-style videos, but I also can't wait for our serious deep dives.

This is the very first I ♥ The 90s to feature all of the $10+ patrons! Thanks so much! Chapters are currently being uploaded.

Episode 1 of Lexual Does The 90s premieres on December 15th, and will include an episode glossary.
