This is a regifted previous episode from the Advent Calendar House Archive as an apology for my dumb April Fool’s joke.  

The commercial break now contains a promo for Stick to Shorts, a new podcast exploring classic cartoons.

🫓 Previously on the Advent Calendar House, we helped our favorite talking babies stop a true meanie in “A Rugrats Chanukah.”  

This time, we’re ignoring the rules of another long-standing tradition as we travel by baby basket back to 1995 to witness grown men throwing temper tantrums and ending up locked in the attic.
