In the intro, Robert and Holly talk about whether or not seasonal decorations are a thing in their houses.

Have a seat here for a special holiday fireside chat with Robert & Holly. It’s the last episode of 2018, so we take a look back at the year and talk about what we’ve learned, as well as listing what we think could be better about the show in 2019.
