Feelings & Co
About this episode

Nora has always admired Weird Al, so for this year’s Happyish Holidays show, she wrote a Christmas parody song. Today, we share it with you.

You can watch the music video for ‘A Petty Little Christmas’ here.

If you have anxiety, depression or any sense of the world around you, you know that not *everything* is going to be okay. In fact, many things aren’t okay and never will be! But instead of falling into the pit of despair, we’re bringing you a little OK for your day. Every weekday, we’ll bring you one okay thing to help you start, end or endure your day with the opposite of a doom scroll.

Created and hosted by Nora McInerny.
