In our look back at 2023, Jim, JT, and Amy reflect on an awesome year in bitstory, Amy recounts her improv intensive in the UK in which she workshopped with (swoon) JOSIE LAWRENCE, and the three discuss Christmas songs that deserve to be added to the canon.

JT's choice: Sabrina Carpenter, "Santa Doesn't Know You Like I Do" https://youtu.be/ZWzpFdr-KDw?si=ucTAPfLAzVmkXQGe
Amy's choice: Jo Anne Worley, "The Gift of Maggie" from The Mad Show https://youtu.be/ExhL8yzG2qc?si=z9kTzgrNo90pXxD8
Jim's choice: Ariana Grande, "Santa Tell Me" https://youtu.be/nlR0MkrRklg?si=aZKymRghjTFMbrBL
