    Christmas may be in the rearview mirror, but due to scheduling snafus, we're continuing our holly jolly holidays with this, the second of our two-part Yuletide extravaganza. This time, Steele and Liz are taking on Madea in all of her (his?) glory. That's right, it's time for A Madea Christmas. Is this newfound audience darling a a classic or do the critics have it right and say it's a burnt turkey? Listen and let us know!
