'Tis the season, and on this week's episode of Faith All Over the Place, we decided to talk about Christmas music.

I promised a couple of YouTube videos of some of the best Christmas music out there:
We did wander off-topic to talk about my bourbon Advent calendar birthday gift from my brother and the 20th anniversary of Richard Pryor's death, but overall, I think we stayed pretty focused. It's called growth, people.
