Episode 27 of The Real Life Survival Guide was recored at historic Lyric Hall in the Westville section of New Haven on December 18th.

We were hosted by Colin Caplan - the creator of the Taste of New Haven eating and drinking tours - and joining the conversation were Marcia Simon, Holly Adam, and the aforementioned McGuires, Ann and Gerry.

We talked about how to tell someone you're returning their gift, the etiquette regarding thanking someone via email, and the McGuire family tradition of "licking the nativity". (Yes, you read that correctly.)

Merry Christmas!

Bruce
