Show Notes
🎄 Santa’s sleigh is grounded in the original video game crash.
The Advent Calendar House kicks off another Christmas countdown by rewinding back to 1982, when Santa found himself stranded in Pac-Man’s neighborhood.
🎙 Lindy and Alicia join us for a stroll through “Christmas Comes to Pacland,” where no one knows about Christmas, but somehow the Ghost Monsters know the words to “Jingle Bells.”
🚨 Warning: Santa spoilers from 11:25 to 13:30.
