Deck them halls, trim those boughs of holly, and join us for our very special Christmas episode. There will be caroling, story-telling by the fire, a visit from St. Nicholas himself, and interpretive dance (luckily, this is not a video podcast, or the dancing would scar you for life). Joining us to talk about writing and lawyering is David H. Steinberg. Then Tim reviews the Avatar sequel, or he tries to but Kevin keeps interrupting...

There's a place on Earth that some describe as the happiest place. For legal reasons, we won't name the specific happy place, but I have fond (even happy) memories of it.
