Sexy outfits, naughty games, and spiked cocoa turn the living room into an orgy—wife on the rug by the fireplace taking thick cock doggy from a new bull while watching hubby devour the other wife, multiple screaming orgasms, and a sticky finish on her back amid swaying garlands.Step-Sibling Stocking Stuffer: 24-year-old grad student home for the holidays finally snaps with her nerdy-hot 26-year-old stepbrother.

Coat closet detention roleplay—tights ripped down for tongue punishment, deep-throat oral exam, then bent over getting railed hard with spanks, creampie climax while the bar buzzes inches away.Stepdaughter's Snowed-In Daddy Gift: Married 27-year-old still living part-time at mom's house gets trapped by a blizzard with her rugged 45-year-old stepdad.

The Mousedebaters play rapid fire Christmas games. Kind of. What happens when you record a Christmas episode at 1am? This. Fueled by holiday spirit, questionable judgment, and very little sleep, we spiral into peak seasonal chaos. We kick things off with a rapid-fire round of Random Disney Character, Naughty or Nice? We're judgin' Disney Characters faster than Tally the Elf side-eying every Jessica at the 2024 “Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party” Parade.  Then—because things clearly weren't unhinged enough—we introduce our newly minted Christmas party game: “Mistletoe, Lump of Coal, or Ride the North Pole.”Yes, it's exactly what it sounds like. No, we will not be taking questions.Is it festive? Yes. Is it unhinged? Extremely. Would Santa approve? He's already blocked us. But we're preeeetty sure Jesus has already forgiven us. So we'll take it.

Send us a textI love the scene in National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation where Chevy Chase is in the attic and he steps on board after board that hits him in the face.  I used to almost pee my pants over that part.  This music video for Blame It On the Mistletoe reminds me of the sentimental scene that follows the slap-happy board face-smacking scene. Clark found old family movies and he's reminiscing. Colleen was purposeful in having the video have that feel as well as a nostalgic timeless feel to the song. Colleen used her contacts during the pandemic to get this video created.  She remembered asking a bandmate and his wife to do a kissing scene since you know, no actors during the pandemic were going to do a kissing scene, LOL!!  Colleen shared about the venue, The Standard, in which the video was recorded. Colleen has performed there many times and met a lot of stars throughout her singing career. She had her friend, Nikki Williams, sing back up on this song. Nikki has some pretty impressive chops and is the go-to in Nashville for songwriting. Colleen gave the inside scoop as to how she and Nikki became friends.  Nikki was all too happy to back up Colleen.  I hope you all check it out but I don't hope for you to get it stuck in your head for a week, like I did!  I "blame it on the mistletoe...." This is on my personal Christmas playlist and will stay there for all future Christmases. Full Show Notes

Mistletoe and Wine became the UK's Christmas Number One on 18th December, 1988; the first of three singles Cliff Richard would take to the top of the festive charts. What makes its triumph so curious is that the song began life as a sardonic showtune written in 1976 for a small musical based on The Little Match Girl by Hans Christian Andersen. Originally, it underscored a scene in which the impoverished heroine is literally kicked into the snow by the heartless middle classes. Its journey to yuletide staple began with Twiggy's 1987 performance in an ITV adaptation of the musical. By then the number had morphed into a lively pub singalong, catching the ear of Terry Britten, long-time Cliff collaborator, who passed the tune along.  In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly discover why Leslie Stewart, one of the songwriters, disliked Cliff's canonical version; explain why British ears appreciate the song with simultaneous earnestness and irony; and reveal what links this festive classic to the iconic theme tune for ‘Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?'...

Long before Dickens penned A Christmas Carol, our ancestors gathered around midwinter fires to tell tales of spirits and monsters lurking in the darkness. Tonight, we explore why Christmas and ghost stories have been intertwined for thousands of years — then share true accounts that prove the tradition is very much alive. #HolidayHorrorsIN THIS EPISODE: Earlier this month I shared some true reports of people seeing Kris Kringle – or what appeared to be Kris Kringle – in real life. But there are many more of those strange sightings to share! (More Real Santa Sightings) *** Christmas has been celebrated for centuries, and gift-giving has been around in America since well before the Civil War. But how we celebrate and what we give changes depending on the time. We'll take a look at what Christmas was like for American pioneers in the 1800s. (Christmas in The Old West) *** At a Christmas party the revelers heard a horrifying scream from outside. They rushed out to hear the screams were coming from the sky, at least above the rooftops. But how could that be? It was then that they learned Oliver Lerch had disappeared – never to be seen again. (The Christmas Disappearance of Oliver Lerch) *** Nothing says Christmas like a poisonous weed! Well… you explain mistletoe! We'll look at why we're supposed to kiss under this deadly plant during the holidays.

(How To Celebrate Christmas Like a Viking) *** Kids in America anxiously await the arrival of Santa Claus bounding down the chimney with gifts and candy for the good little boys and girls.
