Tidings of Comfort and Joy


Thanks so much for spending another season with Mainlining Christmas. Whether you read every word, listen to the occasional podcast, or just click Like on Facebook, we appreciate you.

So far, I think this year's changes were a success. Once we backed off from the constant flood of posts, we had time to choose our content more thoughtfully and do research for more podcasts and other analysis. We also had more time to actually enjoy the season. December is a very busy time in my current job, so I personally needed the respite.

In fact, it's been such a success that we're planning on bringing on an unpaid intern next summer. Rather than go through the headache of posting an ad or something, we've decided to grow them. We're expecting them to arrive in late June of next year.

I expect this person to take up incredible amounts of time and energy, but provide an all-new perspective on holiday media. And life.

Hopefully, we'll be back next year, although the amount of content may depend on the amount of sleep we get between June and November. In the meantime, we'll probably continue to provide the occasional podcast episode and Christmas-adjacent content in the off season.

Keep in touch via our tip line or Facebook to send us suggestions for great or terrible Christmas media or holiday mysteries for us to ponder. Or new ornaments. I'm going to be in the market for those.
