    It's the most wonderful time of the year! A time when parents collectively lie to their children about the existence of a grown man who spies on them year round and breaks into their houses. A time when eco-consciousness is thrown out the window as millions of trees are slaughtered for the sole purpose to stand guard over presents wrapped in the skin of their fallen brethren. A time when children will cry because they were not given a pony. It's Christmas time! Hosts Seth and Doug honor this magical time with cherished yuletide memories from their youth. You will be amazed to hear the lengths that Seth's parents went through to win over the love of him and his brother. You will be equally amazed to hear the fury incited in Doug's parents brought on by decorating the tree. From Baltimore accents to renting movies at the grocery store, Seth and Doug cover all the holiday essentials. What was the worst gift Doug ever gave his father?
