Kids don’t send letters to the North Pole anymore — they update Google Docs. Ryan and Shane unpack how Christmas lists, gift wrapping, and holiday deception have gone fully digital.
This episode compares old-school wish lists to today’s real-time, shareable spreadsheets, and explores how packaging games have evolved too. From using recycled boxes to hide high-tech gifts, to deliberately faking the weight of a package, the duo gets into the fun (and frustration) of modern Christmas gifting. It’s a light, relatable, and funny look at how traditions keep changing — and why that’s not such a bad thing.
Ryan and Shane compare old and new holiday traditions — from cloud-based Christmas lists to box tricks meant to outsmart curious kids.
