This Week on the Bangers Podcast: Christmas, Chaos & Family Traditions
My guest this week is my niece, Caitlin Noyce, and we’re talking about something just as important as markets, ETFs, and macro trends: family, traditions, and how Christmas really works.
We walk through our actual Christmas Week itinerary—a finely tuned mix of:
Secret Santa negotiations
Matching pajamas (non-negotiable)
Board games that strain family alliances
Cookie baking, Chinese food, talent shows, karaoke, and Christmas cocktails
Wassail on the stove, football on the TV, and just enough structure to keep the wheels on
There’s Mass, caroling, lobster rolls, prime rib, gingerbread-house rivalries, and a Year-in-Review that somehow always turns emotional—usually right after dessert.
It’s loud.
It’s cozy.
It’s ridiculous.
And it’s exactly how Christmas should feel.
If you love family traditions, holiday nostalgia, and stories with zero spreadsheets, this one’s for you.
Wishing everyone a holiday season filled with warmth, laughter, and at least one board-game argument you’ll laugh about next year.
