Santa Tells All: Our Exclusive Q&A
The very real Santa Claus sits down with host Marie Cecile Anderson to answer our burning questions: What do kids want this year? How does he handle crying babies? And who needs to clean their room? The first half of this episode is perfect for kiddos, with Santa responding to listener questions. For the second half, we go adults-only, and find out how Chuck Smith turned some cheap shag carpeting into a career of bringing joy to Middle Tennessee.
