🎤🎁🎄We have a fun and festive podcast episode for you today as we head into the holiday! We ran a lighthearted poll among 550 Canadians around holiday preferences and practices, including some contentious ones like:

* When and for how long is it okay to have holiday decorations up?
* Are Die Hard and Gremlins holiday movies?
* How grumpy are certain MQO teammates about the holidays?

This episode features MQO’s Kasey Connely and Richard Foot joining host Brenden Sommerhalder.

We had fun with this one and we hope you do too!

•Home Alone is the #1 holiday movie in Canada, Die Hard is in the top five.

•Most Canadians consider Nightmare Before Christmas to be a holiday movie whereas few consider Mean Girls to be one.
