Santa Claus: fond childhood memory? Or trust issues origin story? In this holiday special (holiday special???) of Headtime Stories, we turn back the clock and explore Baby Mikli’s fraught relationship with Jolly Old St. Nick himself.

 

Inside this episode we take a closer look at how skeptical I was of him growing up:

Exhibit A: The Cookie Test (0:53) Exhibit B: Detective Mikli Holmes (2:45)

 

And two theories as to why:

Theory 1: I don’t like being bamboozled (4:27) Theory 2: I want it to be true, actually (8:55)

 

Then we zip back from the flashback and into the present day:

Magic vs. Truth as an Adult (9:54) Oh, Now I’M the Grownup! (11:31)

 

But Santa or no, maybe there’s some magic and joy left in this season yet.

 

HAPPY HOLIDAAAAYS <3
