Ep. 97

Cindy discussed her extensive and unique holiday traditions, which began strictly after Thanksgiving. She detailed her preferences for a real Christmas tree, a mix of traditional and quirky country Christmas music, and a specific viewing order for classic holiday films. The conversation also covered her family's special food and drink traditions, such as "Duck Fart" shots and Ruby Red cake, and activities including a family baking day, game nights, and the long-standing tradition of creating personalized "house calendars."
