Episode 116 - The non-Christmas Christmas episode - 12/22/25

Welcome to Six Degrees of Rumination's "Non-Christmas Christmas episode!"  It's co-host Reno's revenge on co-host Nina and producer Mike, for all the Christmas specials they made him record over the years.  This episode is short and sweet, but spans over thousands of years of history as Reno takes us on a journey from the ancient Mayan pyramids to present day pagan customs.  Also included are the "anti-gift list" and how weird it can be visiting other people's houses.
