This holiday episode of Ranting Out Loud proves that nothing says Christmas like casually discussing death. It's all kinds of wrong as we trade forced cheer for gallows humor, unpacking why the season of joy also comes with existential dread, awkward family memories, and the sudden realization that Santa has an expiration date. You know, pretending everything is "merry" can be exhausting, and that's why dark humor is a survival skill. Laughing at the inevitable might actually be the most festive option we've got, folks! Like therapy, without the co-pay.
