What this episode covers

'Twas a few nights before Xmas and Our Season Finale premieres! Just in time to enjoy to enjoy the show between your Ears! As the holidays approach, your podcast gives to you, one final episode before season two!  James the Geologist and Bryan Baggins Spiders in Space in New News and talk Christmas goings-ons, while giving a little geologic context behind some of the most well known traditions. A little less known is what causes the seasons. Pssst... It's due to the Earth's tilt and nothing to do with being closer or further away from the sun. In our one horse open sleigh ride conversation, we  talk why people get coal when they have been naughty naugthties and then talk how the coal actually forms to give to the kids. Ever wonder where Santa gets his coal? Maybe its from the little Island of Svabald? Maybe Svablad is home to Kobald? All we know is there is a lot of ice and that leads us straight into mineral minute! Widgiemoothalite takes center stage and is full of chuckles. We pick up with talk about about how Rudolph the Red-Nose Reindeer can help combat Global Warming and save the planet! The tundra also is a zombie wasteland that can bring back to life things 300 decades old. What? We close things out with a little Christmas Tree sustainability chit-chat. Lastly, to end the season in the right way, we sing to you the 12 Days of Geology, on this segments of That Freaking Rocks!! Remember to Be Cool, Stay Tuned, and Keep It On The Rocks!!
