Holiday Special with Surprise Musical Guest

It's the Holiday Special! John, Elissa, and PeggySue talk about what this time of year in Minneapolis means. We name the persons and/or concepts that Scrooged us the hardest in 2022. And offer thanks to the people who "Saved Christmas" - which is a necessary trope of any holiday special. Elissa has tips for how you can do end of year self reflection and 2023 goal-setting in a positive way, without being hard on yourself. Lots of recommendations in this episode if you're looking for a book or video game for yourself or a loved one. Special thanks to our surprise musical guest (please don't fast forward to the surprise musical guest).
