Mistletoe and Marmalade

About this episode

Our story tonight is called Mistletoe and Marmalade, and it’s a story about decorating for the holidays with the whole family. It’s also about birds at the feeder, ornaments made in kindergarten that still make it onto the tree, the ways that love can surprise you, and a greyhound in a Christmas sweater.

We donate to a different charity each week, and this week, we are giving to The Good Food Institute. The Good Food Institute works to make the global food system better for the planet, people, and animals. https://gfi.org/about/
