Christmas Special

Friends of the Cupboard gather in the Advent Season.

We talk about the Rankin Bass Christmas specials, particularly the weirdest ones.

We consider together how consternation about how people might be getting Christmas wrong turns Christmas into its opposite.

Christ came as “Good news of great joy for all people.” Christmas might be a mess, but it is a mess that God counted worth redeeming.

Hosts Todd, Keith, Ken, Allison, Producer Rick, Special Guests: Showrunner Amanda, Tech and Game Support Gavin.
