Whether you are hiding frozen cherries in couch cushions or singing at the top of your lungs there’s so many ways we make ourselves comfortable. I love this time of year even if it means long nights and cold temperatures here in the northern latitudes. Regardless of how religious you are I love the idea that there’s a season where we acknowledge the value of the people in our life with gifts and food.
On today’s episode we have the following folks:
Friends from St. John’s, Newfoundland: Marc and Angie, Andrew Smith, Andrew Draskoy, Aaron, Rohith, and Colette
Friends from HeyOrca: Jesse, Steph, JP, Steve, Peter, Joe, and Farhan
Friends from OpenOcean: Tony, Toby, Raoul, Ralf, Patrik, and Mirva
This entire episode is the brainchild of my fabulous partner Suvi.
To all my friends and family: I wish you a very Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays, no matter where you are and what you celebrate.
Thank you for being with me on 34 episodes of Tales under the cat tree. I didn’t think I would make it all the way to a special Christmas episode. I hope you have enjoyed the episodes I have done. If you have, please take the time to subscribe, or better yet, please share the episode so I can grow my listenership.
I will return with a special New Year’s day episode and will be back to whatever is “normal” for this podcast on January 12.
