In this chapter, we spend some time reminiscing about bookish childhood Christmas memories. Then we dive into a pile of favorite Christmas picture books. Unfortunately, because of the length of the episode, we don't take time to discuss our current reads. We'll spend more time in Chapter 3 on that topic. Stephany was really on the struggle bus this week - sore throat, mistaking Clyde for Claude, and stating Jolabokaflod was celebrated on December 26. She'll definitely have her act together in the next Chapter.
