  • Welcome to the Moth podcast.

  • I'm Christina Norman.

  • I don't know about you, but I find this time of year just a little bit stressful.

  • It's not the constant Santa ads on tv.

  • It's not the long dark days.

  • It's the pressure to give the perfect gift to everyone you love.

  • If you celebrate the holidays at all, it can be totally nerve wracking.

  • What if my BFF's enthusiasm for tinned French sardines doesn't match mine?

  • And what if I spend too much money, or worse yet, too little, on my office's white elephant gift?

  • What if my brother doesn't like the whiskey stones I got him?

  • I mean, that's just a joke.

  • Please don't get your brother whiskey stones.

  • Trust me.

  • On this episode, we have two stories about giving gifts and what you receive in return.
