Love the history on mistletoe. More likely it was not the mistletoe that influenced fertility but rather those long dark winter days and nights……..Love this podcast. It is not Rudolph Day without it!
Ha! Good observation about the fertility. *thumbs up*
Nice guest shot by The Boys… both in show and in “The Making Of” bonus extras
FYI – Anne Hathaway still on my list as well
I’m 2.5 years late responding because I just discovered your podcast this year. (I was excited because we are Rudolph Day celebrators at our house!). Now I’m going backwards to try and catch up on several years worth of episodes!
As for where to hide Christmas presents? We lock them up in our camp trailer. We aren’t winter campers so it works great!
what a great idea!
