ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Happy Holidays! This year, we're revisting our first ever Christmas Episode from 2021.
We are reading the timeless festive poem A Visit From Saint Nicholas, more commonly known as 'Twas The Night Before Christmas, and comparing it with a short story based on the classic narrative, by James Thurber. Curl up with a cup of mulled wine and enjoy our musings on Santa Claus, sugarplums and the demise of the kerchief.
