Ho ho ho, we're back in the Christmas groove. In fact, the groove is what brought us here. We're bringing back bracket episodes on the link and what better time to do it than at the holidays. This is was our way to decide, once and for all: who sits atop the North Pole as the best Christmas song ever? It was hard enough to narrow down to 16, but we got there, and ultimately argued it out until there was only one.
Who better to join than my dad, the authority on music, and my mom, the authority on all things decorating, nostalgia, and making Christmas Christmassy. Despite a few disagreements along the way, we found enough common ground to make it to the end. Besides, even if you don't like the ultimate winner, there were enough fun facts dropped along the way to keep you going (dad came prepared this week).
As always with the bracket and draft episodes, follow @thelink_podcast on Instagram and Twitter for follow up content the week the episode drops. In the Instagram stories, we'll have polls for each and every match-up (one round per day), and the listeners will collectively decide their own bracket's fate, and of course, one winner. Will our answers align? Only one way to find out...
Until then, turn on a good Christmas radio station, find Alvin (likely off hula hooping), make sure Grandma is safe from all reindeer fly zones, and make some custom merch for the link which you can give to your favorite listener as a gift when the big day comes. They're going to love it.

We don't talk a ton of sports on the link, but I have a background working in sports, loving sports, raging about sports, and most importantly, gambling on sports...profitably...usually. So I started "MikeTheMush Sports" which you can find on YouTube, Instagram, and Twitter. We're up over 100 units of profit in 2022, and are looking to close the year strong. We're always posting picks, breakdowns, reactions, and trying our best not to completely Mush any reasonable take I put out into the universe. Still, if you would have followed every pick we made on our YouTube video this year, and bet $10 on it, you'd be up over $1,000. Join us if you like me, sports, or cash. Any one of the three will do. Two out of three and you have to follow. I don't make the rules. See ya out there. I won't slap your butt as you run onto the field, because I don't think you can do that anymore, but just know that I want to, and it's purely motivational.
