![A Red round Christmas Ornament on a gray slate background with sprigs of evergreen. Text: Christmas Miscellany Three Stories - One of Them Seasonal... Written By: Christopher Gronlund Narrated By: Christopher Gronlund and Cynthia Griffith](https://nolumberjacks.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/naltitlecard051.jpg)
This year’s Christmas episode consists of three stories — one of them a Christmas tale.
- “The World Beneath Her Brush”: This one’s about a globemaker—and I really like it!
- “The King of French Fries”: Not only a story from the point of view of a parking lot-dwelling grackle, but it’s also accompanied by an original song.
- “Suburban Home”: Aging punk rockers battling their homeowners’ association over Christmas decorations.
Content Advisory: “The World Beneath Her Brush” and “The King of French Fries” barely merit content advisories. At most, they are about personal struggle in the hope of having a better life. “Suburban Home” deals with pettiness, arguing, the effects of family expectations, and a slight bit of depression and anxiety mentioned in passing. Oh, and some swearing!

Credits:
Music: Theme – Ergo Phizmiz. Story – With one exception, all music licensed through Epidemic Sound. The exception: Descendents’ “Suburban Home” used with permission from the band.
