It's a twist on this episode of The Best of the Fives as Dave and Jack list their top (or bottom) five worst Christmas songs.
The Worst Christmas Gift I Ever Received Welcome, wisdom-seekers to Skip's Quips - a Holiday Special Edition! This week on The Main Thing Podcast, we're doing something a little different — and a little more intimate. No guest. No interview. Just you and me, gathered around a story that has stayed with me for nearly half a century. And it couldn't be landing at a better time. Today is a week before Christmas, and most of us are feeling the familiar holiday squeeze — the pressure to get it right, to pick the perfect gifts, to keep all the moving parts moving. Before the wrapping paper flies and the chaos peaks, let's pause to unwrap a story that surprised me… and eventually shaped me. This is the tale of the worst Christmas gift I ever received — and the unexpected wisdom it carried. About This Special Episode In this short Christmas reflection, I take you back to 1976, when ten-year-old Skip unwrapped a gift that left him confused, disappointed, and wondering what he had done wrong. But what I didn't know then — and what I can see so clearly now — is that the quiet gifts we don't understand often become the ones that shape our character the most deeply. This story is a reminder that: Some gifts grow on us slowly Love sometimes looks like preparation And the smallest objects can carry the largest lessons It's my Christmas gift to you today — a little wisdom wrapped in memory, gratitude, and hindsight. Where's the Special Guest and What's a "Skip's Quip?" We are doing something a little different. I'll be sharing a wisdom lesson with you—but there won't be a guest. Just me, sharing wisdom. A short wisdom lesson of less than 10 minutes total. We plan to do these about 6 times a year. We're calling these special editions - "Skip's Quips." Don't worry, we will still bring you wisdom conversations with our special guests twice a month. Additionally, you will receive "Skip's Quips" to supplement to our regular wisdom programming. Let us know what you think, and please share your feedback. You can do that via SpeakPipe. This special "Skip's Quip" will help you: Reset your heart six days before Christmas See gift-giving through a new, deeper lens Remember the shaping power of work, responsibility, and small tasks For More Information About Skip Lineberg Please visit our website.

The difference between the worst Christmas songs of all time and the best is a fine balance. How about the ultimate classic rock Christmas songs? Many of these are criminally underrated. Not everyone loves eggnog, but pizza on the other hand… Plus, a highly competitive game of Finish The Christmas Lyric!
What do you think deserves the #1 spot as the worst Christmas song ever?

Fraud in Minnesota is getting bigger by the day. Strippers for charity. Worst Christmas gifts. Minnesota Fraud, Brown/MIT shooter found dead. CNN did not have a problem with Biden's mental decline, but they're all over assessing Trump's cognitive acuity. Don't wrap your carry on presents while flying. TSA will unwrap them.

Today is day the aliens are supposed to land. Do you like eggnog? What are the most popular things people are doing for New Year's Eve. Brown/MIT shooter found dead. MN fraud. Haitian brothers who stole millions of dollars' worth of food stamps. This is what happens when you empower government to spend your money. Am I the jerk? Rules for regifting.

What happens when the Rush Hour crew take on Mad Libs… but make it Christmas chaos? In this episode, Maroon, Millie & Hindy build a story about the worst Christmas party ever — and thanks to their Mad Lib choices, things go off the rails FAST. If you’ve never played Mad Libs before, it’s simple: one person gives random words, another inserts them into a story — and the result is utter nonsense. Perfect for this show.

SEGMENT 3 — Launa's Christmas Music StanceReiterates: doesn't hate Christmas, just the music.Tree decorating soundtrack? → Breaking Benjamin, not Christmas music. SEGMENT 4 — Bonus Mention“Christmas Cookies” – George StraitControversial take: maybe not his best song.“Don't ever say that about the King!”See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

‘Twas late on Christmas Eve, and Santa Claus has finished a long night of delivering gifts to all the good boys and girls around the world. He's hung up his coat, kicked off his boots, and is just settling into his favorite chair with a hot cup of cocoa when he suddenly realizes something: he's forgotten about poor little Zackery. Therefore, he calls his recently hired interns, Joel and Kent, to create a magical morning for Zack. Unfortunately for him, the leftovers in Santa's bag are the ones you, the listener, submitted when we asked you to share the terrible Christmas gifts you've received. And so, on this episode of Baconsale, we're going to do our best with the worst, and see which pile of presents Zack ends up choosing. Don't be a condescending elf, press play!

It turns out we've all received some pretty bad Christmas presents in the past. We had a discussion on who received the worst and it was harder than expected to crown a bad present winner
Worst Christmas gifts, walking the blue line, and a spate of car robberies across Cork.
Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTHTeenager Billy Jackson is helping his dad out with some deliveries despite it being Christmas Eve and he just wants to goof off with his buddies. He overhears his dad talking about some rumors about the future of the store but he doesn't care. It's basketball time! He's claims he's been working on his shot but his bully Joey isn't having it. To make matters worse, Joey is dating his crush, Diane. After getting humiliated on the court, he forget the bag that he's supposed to deliver for his dad.He heads to the church where his mom is preparing for the pageant and he heads up to the rafters to try to get back at Joey by replacing all of the snow that's gonna fall with water and Joey will get blamed because he's the stage manager. They wake up on Christmas morning and Billy's dad surprises him with a new hoop & ball. His uncle David shows up and he's a fancy pants money man. He tells them that he's building a super mega store in this town and Billy's dad is like that'll put me out of business! David is like you'll be fine, you'll be running the store. They all head to the Christmas pageant and Billy's plan to get back at Joey works but Joey punches him in the eye and David, who had the water fall on him, leaves angry. Worst Christmas ever. His sister comes in to sleep in his room cuz she's scared and they get in an argument about Christmas being the best ever. She wishes it was Christmas every day and she makes him say it with her so that she'll go to sleep.Much to his surprise, he wakes up and it's Christmas again!!! He is so confused. He thinks its just a giant prank, but when he wakes up the next day and it's Christmas again... he's very confused. His parents are concerned about him and get a doctor to check him out but they think it's just puberty. He figures if nothing really matters, he might as well kiss Diane without her consent and Joey punches him in the face. He tries all sorts of different things - trying to make the perfect day, trying to get Diane to fall in love with him, trying to kill his uncle David, and even trying to be a hero by stopping bad stuff from happening around town. He finally decides, you know what, I'm just gonna be kind to everyone. I'm gonna try to give everyone in town the most wonderful Christmas. Ultimately, he figures out that the lesson here is to just love your family and embrace them and in doing so, his uncle remembers how much he loves being back home and decides he wants to come back and work in the store.
Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTHGaby is having a dream of what it'll be like when her brother Kevin married her childhood rival, Katie. It's a mess and the entire party begins chanting EASY BAKE!She wakes up to Katie waking her up by calling her easy bake and taking an unflattering picture of her. Some things never change.Gaby isn't convinced Katie has changed. She thinks she's purposely trying to make Gaby's holiday miserable. She finally comes to talk to her brother about it when Katie brings back breakfast burritos from her favorite spot even though she knew Gaby was making burritos for breakfast.While out getting a Christmas tree, she tries to talk to Katie about how she bullied Gaby as kids, but Katie doesn't want to talk about it, and then promptly cuts a Christmas tree down on her. Could be a coincidence, but then Katie takes a picture of her on the ground! She claims it's for a Christmas photo album.Later, Katie corners Gaby and tells her to stop trying to get in the way of what she has with Kevin.Kevin goes next door to ask Katie's dad for his blessing of propose to Katie. Needless to say, he does not give his blessing and sharpens his ax instead.Gaby sneaks a spicy pepper into her dinner, which is bad timing, because Kevin proposes anyway. Her parents figure out what she's done and confront her and she says yea I did it but she's ruined my life.We see the video of them as kids when Katie got the entire school to chant EASY BAKE at Gaby's science project presentation. The next day, she goes to talk to Gaby and says they need to talk things out. Katie explains that it happened out of jealousy for Gaby ignoring her as a kid and hanging out with the other smart kids. She felt abandoned. They make up. Episode over.Except it's not, because Kevin opened up Gaby's laptop and sees the easy bake video! He tells her maybe he doesn't know her after all.Everyone is pretty sad but they still have to go volunteer at the Christmas festival. Kevin dresses up like Santa but he is just sad. Katie shows up as Mrs Claus and slams the ring down and her dad tackles Kevin off the stage.The episode ends with Gaby making a sad baking video as the power goes off. Worst Christmas ever.
