Reading, Robbery, and a Community Gathering

In this podventure, we discuss the episode “Peace on Earth,” in which the titular blessing seems absent as Whit and the gang struggle through a chaotic Christmas Eve at the shop. While obligations and errands pile up like snow drifts, Tom encourages Whit to slow down and appreciate the actual snow drifts. Later, an unpleasant surprise on Christmas morning helps the Barclay family recenter their holiday celebration on what matters most. Also, codifying character relationships, and a weird tangent about the Enlightenment, Fundamentalism, and pagan holiday origins. Happy Birthday, Jesus!
