Episode 10 - Why Xmas Is a Cult & Love Actually Is an HR Nightmare

31m | Jan 14, 2026

Christmas is meant to be joyful — so why does it turn grown adults into emotional wrecks arguing over traditions?

In this episode, we unpack the psychology of Christmas: why family makes you regress instantly, why expectations ruin the holiday every year, how gift-giving becomes passive-aggressive warfare, and whether Christmas is actually just a socially accepted cult (spoiler: kind of). From Love Actually being a workplace HR violation to why January should legally be banned, we cover it all with 0 credentials.
