What's up, dudes? Is it BAB-ar or BaBAR? Michael May from After Lunch, Crestwood House, and Hellbent for Letterbox and I try to figure it out. Yes, we're talking about “Babar and Father Christmas!”Arthur, Pom, Flora, and Alexander, the royal elephant children, are playing with their monkey pal, Zephir. Soon he tells them that in man's world, Father Christmas delivers presents to good boys and girls on Christmas Eve! After their amazement subsides, they write Father Christmas a wish list letter, but are disappointed when they don't get a reply. Ultimately, this leads to Babar's realization that the Elephants' Country needs to be included in Santa's regular route.The King goes to heroic lengths to make his children's' wishes come true. First, he goes to the city and befriends an artist's model. From there, he meets a geography professor with a map to Santa's workshop. Babar makes the trek up north, and he and Father Christmas become fast friends. Father Christmas even gets to take a much needed rest in the tropical climate of Babar's country. He also gifts Babar a magical flying suit to distribute presents on Christmas Eve.Saxophone-playing Rhino antagonists? Check. Barbarian Babar? In a joke. Elves who've never seen a flamingo? Only if they look like gnomes! So grab your crown, hop on a train to the city, and check your maps to this episode on “Babar and Father Christmas!”After LunchGive us a buzz!

What's up, dudes? Motown! The sound defined the ‘60s, the acts brought joy to everyone. Ken Kessler from Sounds of Christmas and I dive into the wonderfully odd “Motown Merry Christmas!” From the Temptations to Smokey Robinson, this one celebrates Christmas the Motown way…with several non-Motown acts?!Hosted by Miami Vice's Philip Michael Thomas, the special begins with a version of “‘Twas the Night Before Christmas.” The Temptations then sell it hard with a rendition of “White Christmas” à la The Drifters. After the Pointer Sisters nail “Santa Claus is Comin' to Town,” Santa Redd Foxx and elf Marsha Warfield provide some comedy. Following that, Ronnie Spector and Darlene Love sing a Christmas medley with awkward transitions between each song. They kill it so hard, though! Great stuff!Desiree Coleman, Smokey Robinson, and Natalie Cole wow the audience with soulful carols. Of course, the Temptations sing “Silent Night.” There's more comedy bits with Foxx and Warfield, then Run DMC and Stephanie Mills get turns to provide holiday music. Carrie McDowell, Ronnie, Darlene, and the whole crew sing us out!Tubbs? Check. Roz? Of course. Fred Sanford? Only if he can be Santa!

On Episode 305 of The Reel Debaters, we debate the best movies adapted for television. Some films thrive when stretched into episodic storytelling, gaining depth, character arcs, and cultural staying power. Others lose what made them special the moment the opening credits roll. From prestige series to cult curiosities, this is a no-holds-barred debate on when adaptation elevates the original… and when it pulls the plug.

Rejugando 283 – Especial The Game Awards 2025 Todos los premios, anuncios y el futuro del videojuego En este episodio especial de Rejugando, nos metemos de lleno en la resaca más intensa del año para cualquier amante del videojuego: The Game Awards 2025. Una gala que nos ha tenido en vela, con ojeras, café y mucha ilusión, y que analizamos con calma, criterio y pasión, como solo se puede hacer cuando llevas años amando este medio. Nos reunimos todo el equipo para repasar los premios más importantes, debatir las decisiones más polémicas, emocionarnos con los grandes anuncios y mirar de frente al futuro inmediato del videojuego, que apunta a ser absolutamente espectacular. Empezamos contextualizando lo que significa hoy The Game Awards: un evento que ha pasado de ser una gala con anuncios intrusivos a convertirse en una auténtica celebración global del videojuego, con cifras de audiencia masivas y un enfoque mucho más centrado en los juegos. Comentamos cómo este año: Se reduce notablemente la publicidad invasiva Se apuesta por anuncios relevantes Se mejora el ritmo de la gala La música y la orquesta vuelven a ser protagonistas emocionales Juego del Año 2025: un ganador que marca época Entramos directamente al plato fuerte: el GOTY. Ganador: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Un triunfo que no nos sorprende, pero que sí celebramos con enorme alegría. Analizamos: Por qué no es solo un gran juego, sino un juego que se recordará dentro de 10 o 15 años Cómo conecta con la nostalgia del JRPG clásico sin dejar de ser moderno Su impacto emocional, comparable al de los grandes Final Fantasy El famoso “efecto Ratatouille”: volver a sentir lo que sentíamos de niños jugando Hablamos también de: Sus rivales al GOTY Qué habría pasado si ciertos lanzamientos hubieran llegado a tiempo Por qué, incluso sin ser “perfecto”, es el juego que define 2025 El dominio absoluto de Expedition 33 No solo gana el Juego del Año. Arrasa. Comentamos su impresionante cosecha de nueve premios, entre ellos: Mejor Dirección Mejor Banda Sonora Mejor Juego Independiente (y el debate que esto genera) Mejor Interpretación Mejor Narrativa Aquí abrimos uno de los debates más interesantes del programa: ¿Dónde empieza y dónde termina lo “indie” hoy en día? Un análisis honesto sobre presupuestos, equipos, libertad creativa y por qué este juego ha podido hacer cosas que otros no. Premios, polémicas y ausencias sonadas Repasamos otras categorías importantes: Juegos que partían como favoritos y se van casi de vacío El papel de estudios como Kojima Productions y su noche discreta Decisiones que generan debate, pero también reflexión Siempre desde el respeto, pero sin morderse la lengua. La música: el alma de los Game Awards La orquesta vuelve a ser uno de los momentos más potentes de la gala. El medley del GOTY Cómo la música consigue emocionar incluso si no has jugado a todos los títulos Por qué la banda sonora sigue siendo una de las grandes armas del videojuego como arte Los anuncios: el futuro ya está aquí Entramos en uno de los bloques más esperados del programa: todos los anuncios importantes. Comentamos: Fechas de lanzamiento muy esperadas Juegos que reaparecen tras años de silencio Nuevas IP que nos han puesto los dientes largos El horizonte de 2026, 2027… e incluso más allá La sensación general es clara: el calendario de los próximos años es una locura. Mucho más que un podcast Recordamos que Rejugando ya no es solo un programa de radio: Web con calendario de eventos y lanzamientos Resúmenes completos de premios y anuncios Comunidad activa en Telegram Especiales como los Rejugando Game Awards, donde el humor y el cariño por el medio se mezclan con premios únicos A quienes nos han acompañado de madrugada A la comunidad que comenta, vota y participa A quienes entienden que el videojuego es emoción, memoria y futuro Porque si algo deja claro este especial es que seguimos más vivos que nunca, y que lo mejor aún está por llegar.

What's up, dudes? Alamo City Santa Jeremy Phelps joins me to dive into the 1986 made-for-tv movie “Christmas Eve!” Starring Loretta Young and Rachel's dad from “Friends,” this melodrama has charm! Although Amanda Kingsley is now extremely wealthy, she remembers her hardscrabble upbringing. She now spends her time trying to help the less fortunate around her. Conversely, her business-minded son, Andrew, has never wanted for anything, and has become hardhearted. Upon receiving bad medical news, Amanda engages down-at-heel private investigator Morris Huffner to track down Andrew's three estranged children. She desperately longs for one final family Christmas.Huffner tracks down the youngest first. He is now a country singer, and vaguely knows the whereabouts of his sister. Of course, Huffner uses the lead to track down the young lady, and seemingly falls for her. Finally, Huffner finds the oldest son, who had dodged the draft by fleeing to Canada. They all come together and force a change of heart on Andrew.A philanthropic protagonist? Check. A miserly antagonist? Got it. An Alfred Pennyworth-like butler? Definitely!

EL FINAL GUARDA EL SECRETO DE LOS SIGUIENTES ESPECIALES En este nuevo episodio de Rejugando, nos metemos de lleno en la tercera parte del especial de Kingdom Hearts, y lo hacemos a lo grande. Arrancamos repasando nuestro viaje por este tramo final del primer Kingdom Hearts, desgranando curiosidades, secretos, desarrollo, guiños y detalles que se nos quedaron grabados en la memoria, tanto para los fans como para los que llegan por primera vez a esta obra de culto de Square y Disney. Entramos directos al mundo de Agrabah, donde comentamos todo: – La llegada a la ciudad, la aparición de Jafar, la búsqueda de la cerradura del mundo y la importancia de Jasmine como princesa del corazón. – Los nuevos sincorazón, la verticalidad del mapa, las zonas ocultas, el backtracking y esa mezcla deliciosa entre aventura, diseño inteligente y referencias a los juegos clásicos de Aladdin. – La Cueva de las Maravillas, su diseño laberíntico, el combate contra el tigre y todo el tramo interno lleno de cofres, mecánicas y secretos. – El mítico enfrentamiento contra Jafar, sus dos fases, la lámpara, Iago… y cómo KH adapta perfectamente la estructura de la película. – El detallazo del llavero Tres Deseos, el cameo de la alfombra, el origen del diseño de Jafar, la curiosa historia del genio en doblaje, y ese mininivel con la alfombra que nos hizo sufrir más de lo esperado. Luego nos movemos hacia Monstro, el mundo de Pinocho, donde todo se vuelve más bizarro, más visceral : – La llegada sorpresa a la ballena. – Geppetto y Pinocho atrapados, la reaparición de Riku y el inicio de un conflicto emocional y narrativo clave para el resto del juego. – El combate con el “bicho-jaula”, la referencia clara a Final Fantasy IX y X, la exploración confusa y repetitiva dentro de Monstro y la relación simbiótica entre corazón, luz y pérdida. – Las idas y venidas entre Riku y Sora, y cómo este mundo marca un antes y un después en la tensión emocional del grupo. Desde ahí viajamos al siempre polémico y acuático mundo de Atlántica. – Contamos cómo funciona el tutorial bajo el agua, el filtro visual, la transformación de los protagonistas y lo que cuesta adaptarse al control submarino. – Conocemos a Ariel, al rey Tritón, y repasamos su papel en la trama, la aparición de Úrsula, toda la misión del tridente y el enfrentamiento final con ella en su forma gigante. – También respondemos a la gran pregunta que muchos oyentes nos habéis hecho: por qué Ariel no es princesa del corazón y Alicia sí. – Recorremos curiosidades de la película original, su historia literaria, diferencias brutales con el cuento de Andersen y cómo Square adaptó el mundo al lore del juego. – Y comentamos las conexiones con Final Fantasy IX, las habilidades y la mecánica de asignación utilizando puntos, recuperando ese sabor clásico del JRPG. Y entonces llega EL MOMENTO. Entramos en uno de los mundos más queridos de toda la saga: 🎃 Halloween Town – Pesadilla antes de Navidad Aquí nos volvemos locos hablando de: – Los diseños espectaculares de Sora, Donald y Goofy adaptados al estilo de Tim Burton. – La aparición de Jack Skellington y del Doctor Finkelstein. – La creación del corazón artificial, los niños problemáticos, la bañera viviente y la llegada a la Mansión de Oogie Boogie. – El combate tipo “Simón dice”, las mecánicas de la ruleta, el enfrentamiento final con Oogie gigante y toda la ambientación tétrica pero encantadora. – Las curiosidades reales de la película, el origen de Tim Burton en Disney, por qué se confunde tanto su papel en la película, el stop-motion original y cómo KH respeta la estética del film con nuevas texturas pensadas específicamente para este mundo. – Y cómo este mundo marcó el estándar para los mundos “estilizados” en la saga. Durante todo el programa vamos intercalando: – Informes de Ansem narrados como si fuesen documentos prohibidos. – Referencias al desarrollo real del juego, decisiones de Nomura y cambios en mundos como Tarzán, Pesadilla o Agrabah. – Detalles de doblaje, producción y rarezas del lore oficial. – Y nuestras clásicas anécdotas, bromas y momentos de caos absoluto. Al final, dejamos todo listo para encarar el tramo final del juego en el próximo episodio: Bastión Hueco, el clímax de Riku, Maléfica, las princesas del corazón y el enfrentamiento definitivo. Si eres fan de Kingdom Hearts, este episodio es un festín. Si no lo eres… cuidado, que aquí te haces fan por fuerza.

The show opens with a discussion about the frigid weather sweeping across the country, before moving into Apple's newly announced App Award Winners. The panel covers winners across iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, and Vision Pro—including the iPhone App of the Year Timbo and Vision Pro winner Explore POV—with commentary on design choices, spatial computing innovation, and whether they personally use the selected apps. Next, the 2025 Apple Podcast of the Year—The Rest Is History—leads the group into a conversation about podcast quality, history storytelling, and the growing depth of Apple's podcast ecosystem. Updates to visionOS 26.2 RC are discussed, including expanded Travel Mode for buses and cars, support for spatial accessories (like Logitech's stylus), and improvements to Freeform. Eric even admits the new features were compelling enough for him to install the beta. Updates for iOS/iPadOS 26.2 RC also make news, adding the Liquid Glass lock screen slider, Reminders alarms, new AirPods Live Translation support in the EU, and Podcasts app refinements. Jeff warns listeners to hold off on macOS Tahoe due to persistent audio issues, reinforcing that stability still matters more than flash. The show then pivots into a major AI segment featuring:     •    Anthropic's Claude Opus 4.5, touted as the new coding champion among AI tools     •    ChatGPT's new holiday shopping assistant, which impressed some panelists     •    The controversial discovery of ads in ChatGPT's app code, sparking fears of "enshittification"     •    A possible Apple Health integration, which launches a passionate privacy debate     •    Real-world examples of AI massively reducing work time—from spreadsheets to meeting analytics The group revisits Apple's newest patent describing a crease-free foldable iPhone using liquid metal, prompting speculation on durability, user experience, and whether Apple can create a foldable without the hallmark crease. Apple's Year-End Music Charts and Apple Music Replay lead to panelists sharing their most-played artists—ranging from Supertramp to Rush to 80s icons—and poking fun at Dave's unavoidable Taylor Swift top rankings. Apple also releases a beautifully produced Accessibility in College ad, highlighting assistive technologies like magnifier, voiceover, and live captions. The panel praises Apple's leadership in accessible design and speculates on future features for glasses-based products. Finally, the team dives into a major Apple Arcade update, featuring five new games including Subway Surfers+, SpongeBob Patty Pursuit 2, PowerWash Simulator, and more. The topic unexpectedly evolves into a discussion of how simulation games—like power washing or trucking—can offer therapeutic calm for many players.

What's up, dudes? You never knew Santa had a donkey? Well, Jeff Loftin from Lost Christmas and Alamo City Santa Jeremy Phelps did. In fact, they're here with me to talk all about the Rankin Bass special “Nestor the Long-Eared Christmas Donkey!”Nestor was born with abnormally long ears. His owner mistreated him, and the other animals teased him. One night when Roman soldiers came to the stable to buy donkeys, they dismiss Nestor and take all the other donkeys for free. Enraged, Olaf casts Nestor out into the frigid cold. Nestor's mother finds him and shields from the harsh weather with her own body, freezing to death in the process.The next day, Nestor meets a cherub named Tilly, who says that they need to travel to Bethlehem. When they reach the outskirts of the town, Tilly returns to Heaven, instructing Nestor to wait. When Mary and Joseph are expecting Jesus, they take Nestor because of his "gentle eyes", but are caught in a sandstorm. In the midst of the storm, Nestor hears Tilly's voice, but recognizes it as his mother's. She tells him to follow the voices of the angels. Nestor guides Mary and Joseph through the storm, while wrapping Mary in his ears to keep her warm. They arrive in Bethlehem, where Nestor finds the stable where Mary gives birth to Jesus. Nestor heads back home where he is hailed as hero by Olaf and the other animals. Santa? Check. The Holy Family? Yep. Spieltoe? Never thought Santa had a pack mule!

Thom Crowe from ‘Tis the Podcast is here with me to discuss the differences between Catholic and Orthodox Advent liturgies!How long is each one? Which one omits parts of the Ordinary? Are they both strict fasts? We get into all of it! There are striking similarities and glaring differences. The sanctoral and temporal cycles overlap, and function as a weak analogy of the hydrostatic union.The West has more structural variation and variable parts parts, but the East has the stricter fast. We delve into the Mass/Divine Liturgy and the Office/Hours. After that, we tackle popular Advent devotions from both traditions. St. Nicholas definitely gets some play!Gloria in excelsis? Nope.

Kenny G, his former sax player and right now is one of the hottest session cats out there. You can hear his magic touch on current hits from U2, Pebbles, New Edition, Giant Steps, New Shoes, The California Raisins, Sheena Easton and Jeffrey Osborne. Those are just the ones he's played on this month. And you know he's saving up the good stuff for his next WB LP due sometime in 89.

What's up, dudes? It's the 40th anniversary of Santa Claus: The Movie! Pax Holley from Cult Film Club, Crestwood House, and I Read Movies is with me to talk all about the novelization!  Santa Claus: The Movie was released in 1985, and it chronicled the origin of the Jill old elf himself. Eventually, it transitions into anDudley Moore vehicle as his elf character Patch takes center stage. Patch feels unappreciated and sets out into the world to prove himself. The novelization fills some plot points the movie left out due to time constraints. For example, the elves used to deliver the gifts themselves, but stopped as it grew harder. Also, in preparation for the big flight, they built a simulator for Santa. The novelization even explains why Santa has to go down chimneys due to modern man's lack of trust in one another. Oh, and Patch returns to the Pole and shares Santa's assistant duties with Puffy.Sleigh flight simulator? Check. Confirmation of Cornelia's adoption? For sure. Kids writing letters to Santa apologizing for their lack of faith? Definitely!

On today's show, we're chatting with Annapurna Rogers, a Brooklyn-based vintage curator and the owner of Annapurna Vintage. Anna specializes in exceptional pieces from the 1960s through the 1990s for the modern woman – think well-constructed blazers, iconic coats, and those showstopper garments that elevate any wardrobe. In this episode, she shares her journey from growing up as a thrift-loving kid in Portland, Oregon – where she'd walk to Valley Village and find mod 60s dresses to wear to middle school – to running the daily operations of the Arcade vintage store for A Current Affair in Industry City, Brooklyn, and eventually launching her own business.  She opens up about what she's learned from vintage-selling mentors, and about navigating the world of high-end vintage markets – including what's hot right now, and her philosophy on building a collection around quality and design  Plus, the unbelievable moment when Sabrina Carpenter's stylist reached out for a piece she'd just sold. What would you even do? It's a really fun one full of great stories and advice, so let's dive right in! DISCUSSED IN THE EPISODE: [2:52] Growing up, Annapurna visited the Value Village for vintage, and her mom made a lot of her clothes.

[12:55] She started out in vintage by helping her friend get ready for the A Current Affair shows. [18:05] But she opened her Etsy store in 2016 to sell some of her personal collection [18:48] She gets her big break into vintage when A Current Affair opened a store in Industry City and needed a manager.  [23:52] Learning to source based on public demand [31:04] How Annapurna developed her own vintage specialties.

[43:16] Preparing for major markets like A Current Affair and Pickwick. [47:16] What's hot right now: suede coats, leather jackets, feather coats, and silk slip dresses [51:02] When Sabrina Carpenter's stylist reached out for a piece she'd just sold [52:52] Holy grail finds she still thinks about, and other pieces from her personal collection EPISODE MENTIONS:  Annapurna Vintage Annapurna's Etsy Will, of The Find Pickwick Vintage A Current Affair Omnia Magpie Vintage Redlight Clothing Exchange Arcade James Veloria Amarcord Saint Laurent ivory leather top Recreo Reinspired Samantha Knight Swanee Grace @lesansfin Lesansfin Past Lives Studio Studio Nordic LET'S CONNECT:

Penny Arcade—poet, actress, essayist, spoken word, video and theatre maker—discusses her trajectory from an immigrant family, originally from Basilicata, Italy, to her upbringing in a working-class Connecticut town to her entry into the art world of New York's East Village. Looking back on her life as a homeless teen in the Village, her discovery by Jamie Andrews who introduced her to John Vaccaro's Playhouse of The Ridiculous, becoming a Warhol Factory Superstar, and her departure to Amsterdam, Arcade narrates the story of how she set off for Formentera, in Spain's Balearic Islands, where she started a school for children there, some of whom were children of drug smugglers. Recounting her return to New York City in 1981 and her split from Vaccaro, which marked the beginning of her independent work, Arcade recollects the state of the various art scenes in New York City during the Reagan era, the loss of friends to AIDS, and the censorship of the era. She vituperates the class divisions within the art world and the Manhattan Downtown art scene into which she never fit neatly, while underscoring her desire to “create theatre for people who had no theatre,” a fact which made her extremely unpopular within academia and among arts administrators because her work challenges these very elite systems. Pondering the values she espouses in her art and the fact that her audience has always been unique in maintaining a shared investment in her performances, Arcade considers how the catharsis in reaction to her art takes place well beyond the theatre hall. As an outsider to the art scene, noting how she hasn't received institutional support and has operated without funding, legacy media coverage, or any form of academic sponsorship, Arcade criticises the state of art funding from even before the 1980s, when the Moral Majority took aim at the art world and at the NEA (National Endowment for the Arts) funding structures. Calling out the academic art world as a “pyramid scheme,” Arcade observes how the academic-produced genre of “emerging arts” has become a way for the elite class to ensure that their children would have a guaranteed “entry level position” post-graduation in the arts akin to the professional tracks for finance and law, proclaiming: “Art is not a profession—it's a vocation.” She also delves into the problems of identity politics that have permeated into arts funding and the art world and culture at large, remarking how these institutions recycle not only the same personas and narratives, ultimately limiting the “professionalised” scope of art. Responding to the recent “queering” of Marsha P Johnson, Arcade argues that Johnson was not transgender but was a drag queen, contending that the only reason why Johnson was recategorised as “trans” is because “Marsha is dead and black.” Get full access to Savage Minds at savageminds.substack.com/subscribe

What's up, dudes? I've got Anthony Caruso from ‘Tis the Podcast and Jeremy Phelps the Alamo City Santa with me to dig into Charles Schulz's Peanuts. That's right! It's the classic “A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving!” Will he ever kick the football?Charlie Brown gets a phone call from Peppermint Patty, who invites herself, Marcie and Franklin  to  Chuck's house for dinner. As it turns out, he is not having dinner and can't  cook anything. Consequently, Linus suggests that they prepare a meal for their friends before they go to grandma's, and recruits Snoopy and Woodstock to help. The gang then prepare a feast of toast, popcorn, pretzel sticks, jelly beans, and sundaes.After the guests arrive, Linus leads the group in prayer  before Snoopy serves the meal. Peppermint Patty, who expected turkey and other traditional Thanksgiving food, angrily yells at Charlie Brown, who leaves the table dejected. Marcie berates her and apologize to Chuck for her. Realizing that he and Sally are late for the Brown family dinner, Charlie Brown explains the situation over the phone to his grandmother, who invites all his friends to come along for dinner.Pilgrim dog? Check. Clueless imposing friend? Yep. Cannibalistic bird? Only Woodstock!

What's up, dudes? Mike Westfall of Advent Calendar House and Tim Babb from Can't Wait for Christmas are with me to talk all about the genius that is Al Yankovic! Even Caleb Cote from Insert Reference Here pops in to dive into Weird Al “Christmas at Ground Zero!”The song is a throwback to the Phil Spector “wall of sound” era, full of bari sax and keyboard layers. Of course, in Al fashion, he copies the style to perfection. Harmonically, it's a simple I-vi-ii-V chord progression reminiscent of the 1960s.Lyrically, the song is awash in Cold War nuclear disaster tropes. Yankovic's label, Scotti Brothers Records, insisted that he record a Christmas album. However, after Yankovic presented the song to his label, they relented, because it was "a little different from what they were expecting." After the song was written and recorded, Yankovic wanted to release the song as a commercial single, but Scotti Bros. refused. Eventually, Scotti Bros. released the song as a promotional single and then commercially.Sleigh bells ringing? Check. Trimming the tree? Uh huh. Atom bombs dropping? Only if it creates new mutants!

What's up, dudes? Remember looking in your stocking and finding a cool coloring book of your favorite characters? Charlie Ague from Closer to Christmas and Ague Designs and Alamo City Santa Jeremy Phelps  are here with me to break them down! Luckily, there's a great website Retro Reprints with hundreds of coloring and activity books to help with our quest.We look through several books by Random House and Golden published in the ‘80s. For example, the Snorks, or as some remember them, underwater Smurfs, engage in holiday activities throughout each page of their book. The Shirt Tales frolic and play amid the yuletide festivities in their own book as well. Spider-Man and the Muppets join the fun in their respective books.As we dig into each book, we examine which pages are easiest to color. We also look at the level of detail poured into the Muppet Babies book, and occasionally how certain pages are boring. Some pages are devoid of characters and feature would-be Christmas presents. Yay!Wuzzles? Check. Ewoks? Got ‘em. Twinkles the elf? Twinkles the elf?!?! So grab your box of 64 crayons, sharpen your colored pencils, and doodle along to this episode on ‘80s Christmas coloring books!Closer to ChristmasTwitter: @closertoxmas IG: @closertoxmasAgue DesignsIG: @aguedesignsAlamo City SantaIG: @alamocitysanta Etsy: North Pole General StoreFB: @northpolegeneralstore                                      IG: @northpole_generalstoreRetro ReprintsGive us a buzz!
