[…] Listen to this episode of the Can’t Wait for Christmas Podcast Author: Tim Babb Title: CWFC 124 – Io, Saturnalia! […]
Nice show. Straight No Chaser shoulda won–like Nat King Cole shoulda won–sore loser. Missed the boys. Gee, 5 golden eating binges. That shoulda carried over to Boxing Day, cause the bingeing continues even early the next morning. Did you know that March 25 marks the Annunciation??? Yep about 9 months later, Christ is born. However, like most indignities women face, Mary’s special day is always bumped when something other comes along–like Lent. sheesh. Bet she didn’t get a shower either.
