The Way I See It, You Can Divide The World Up Into Two Kinds Of People: Those Who Like Fruitcake And The Rest Of Us. (Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer)

Happy Monday, Christmas fanatics! This week, Julia, Thom, and Anthony cover the questionable holiday special from the year 2000, "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer" - based on the Christmas song of the same name! Though there's some debate and trolling regarding who actually put this cartoon on the list, the elves are all in agreement over its quality, and it begs the question: has "Tis the Podcast" hit a new low? Also discussed in this episode - restaurants that the hosts only tend to visit during the holiday season!

In addition, keep your eyes on your podcast feeds this upcoming Thursday for the next installment of "Another Christmas Story", as read by Lauren Simone this week, in addition to Saturday for a special, Christmas in July episode!

And not only do they answer whether or not this episode of TV is actually a Christmas special and has a Linus moment, but Julia must also answer - as a newcomer who has never experienced this sitcom before, was it good enough to make her want to watch the entire series?
And in addition to all of the "Schitt's Creek" talk, there's discussion about the "Twilight Saga", the elves address listener Danielle Essary's suggestion that they dedicate every October to covering Halloween content instead of Christmas content, and they answer the question of the week posed in the prior two episodes: "Is there a non-Christmas movie that's not even set at Christmas that you watch every year around the holidays?"
