Plus: December birthday drama, shopping cart morality, and a very special Michael Oppenheimer moment.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this holiday Teeny Meanie, Lisa, Nick, and Celia give listeners permission to stop forcing joy, togetherness, and overcommitment just because it’s December.
