The Christmas Special is the most time-honored of late December traditions. Today, because Christmas falls on a Monday for the first time since Your Stories has existed, we put together our first full-length holiday compilation! These stories come from the six-year span our show has enjoyed so far and features a couple probably familiar pieces (including two included on last year's Best of Five Years episode) plus a few you may not have heard in a little while, if ever! This week, enjoy:

• Cover Stories: Santa Claus Is Comin to Town
• Mike Gifford: What Have You Been Up To?
• Charlie Madsen: New Year, No Pants
• Kyle Talley: A Touching Christmas Story
• Tracie Hall: The Real Kwanzaa
• Jonathan Lester: A Jew's Encounter with a Christmas Tree
• Cover Stories: Long December
