Episode 86: MOMS MAKE THE MAGIC! Santa, Elf on the Shelf and setting a family Christmas precedent

--:--
Our 2021 Christmas episode is OUT and this year we are honouring the magic that moms bring to the festive season. It's a pretty nuanced discussion as we wonder if The Patriarchy (aargh) has lumped us with the job of Mother Christmas, or if we've taken on that load ourselves.

What do you think?

We also chat about Santa logistics, Elf on the Shelf and whether or not the naughty/nice list should still be a thing. The jury's also out on whether Santa takes credit for the magic of Christmas, or whether moms deserve a standing ovation at the end of the festive season.

You guys spoke and we listened. All your comments (and rants and raves) were included in the show. So pour yourself some mulled vino and spend a couple of hours with Team TGE.
