Tim! My wife and I love panel shows! We live in Canada, so like yourself, we have to watch most of it on YouTube. The Christmas episodes are always a highlight of our year.
Great show! Thank you for featuring Yiwu. It really makes you think about the environmental impact of all those decorations. I will continue my endeavor to buy mostly from Thrift shops. I have one tree (of 4) that is almost all vintage decorations. Inspired by your show I watched the video below and now need to find the lanterns with the tiny snow balls.
