In this podventure, we discuss the episde “Monty’s Christmas,” in which Whit’s daughter and grandkids continue to enjoy Christmas in Odyssey. However, not everyone is getting into the Christmas spirit, and as tensions rise between Janna and Monty, it may take an outsider’s perspective to give Monty the clarity he needs over his mother’s behavior and his own feelings towards his absent father.
