Happy Holidays, and welcome to the second episode of podramble! This week, we welcome moogle62 to the show, and talk about holiday tropes such as kissing under the mistletoe, huddling for warmth, snowed in, and more! There are spoilers for the West Wing and minor spoilers for Community's Christmas episode, but they are warned for right before we talk about them.
