We have a very special show for Episode #42 of the podcast. Today is our Christmas Special, and we’re very excited to be joined by a very special guest…Santa Claus.
Santa Claus, also known as Father Christmas, Saint Nicholas, Saint Nick, Kris Kringle, or simply Santa…was able to take some time away from his Christmas preparations to stop by and say hello to everyone and answer some questions from our super-curious kids.
Santa also updates us on the progress the elves are making in building all the toys, and how Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner and Blitzen have been preparing for their big night at home in the ice and snow of the North Pole.
