Christmas Confessions: Holiday Stories, Addiction, and Laughter
No, it's one that I think is very, almost in poor taste, but quite quite relevant.
Ever received a gift that left you scratching your head? Or maybe you’ve got a Christmas story you’ve never dared to share? In this festive episode of 'Sideways', hosts Graham Landi and Martin Pankhurst dive into the heartwarming and sometimes awkward holiday moments we all experience. Martin kicks things off with a Christmas tale he’s kept under wraps until now, setting the stage for a candid chat about the confessions we keep during the holidays.
The duo doesn’t shy away from discussing the tougher side of the season either. They touch on emotional abuse tied to alcoholism, the impact of inappropriate gifts, and those cringe-worthy Christmas songs that seem to haunt us every year. But it’s not all heavy - Graham and Martin sprinkle in humor and nostalgia, reminiscing about public toilets and the 'Fairytale of New York'.
This episode is a rollercoaster of emotions, blending laughter with reflection, making it perfect for anyone navigating the highs and lows of the festive period. Whether you're dealing with your own struggles or just in need of a relatable holiday chat, this episode offers both comfort and camaraderie.
