A Christmas Story
Holiday Special
Hosted by Michael Collins
This Is Your Mixtape takes a little holiday break from its usual format. Michael, your steadfast host, tells the story of Christmas when he was twelve through the lens of some carols that are important to him. It's a story about encountering mortality, losing innocence, love, resilience, and the magic of unexpected gifts.

All of the clips heard in the episode were plonked out by Michael on an out-of-tune upright.
