In this special Christmas episode, Barney and Ken explore how to stay focused on the true meaning of Christmas when the holiday season is "all around us" but often stripped of its deeper significance. Barney shares his unique experience celebrating Christmas in Japan, where it's more of a date night than a religious holiday, while Ken reflects on his American traditions and family memories. Together, they discuss Advent practices, meaningful Christmas artifacts, nativity scenes, and the challenge of passing faith traditions to the next generation. The episode concludes with Ken reading a moving story from Trans-Siberian Orchestra's "Christmas Eve and Other Stories" about an angel's search for what best represents the spirit of Christmas.
