When a family cookie night produces something called “the bloody cookie,” you know the holiday spirit is alive — and slightly unhinged. Bob Addison brings the stories, and Shane brings the disbelief.

From wearing absurd hats in public to surviving a retirement home concert that barely touched Christmas, this episode captures the awkward joy of seasonal traditions that somehow still matter. Hear how an annual cookie ritual survived into adulthood, why Bob hates wrapping gifts with all his heart, and what it means when your kid insists on keeping the weirdest tradition alive.

A chaotic, cozy, and laugh-out-loud Christmas special.
