Christmas 2020 with Maggie & Jon.


My daughter Maggie shared a mic for her annual appearance during the Live From Home edition of the 25-Hour Holiday Radio Show. I think this was the 13th time we’ve done this? Wild. Having a year-by-year record of these breaks is a lovely way to mark how we’ve each changed from marathon to marathon.
