Jedediah gets the words to a song wrong and Torrey gets his mom the wrong gift. But to be honest, it’s a miracle we’re all not getting everything wrong all the time. Little Jed’s countdown to X-mas finally feels appropriate as we cross into December, with bad hair days, crappy mornings, canceled Playboys, abandoned comics, a now-cherished then-belated birthday gift, Hillary Clinton’s doomed foray into fixing America’s broken health care system, and Val Kilmer.

Week 49: December 4–10, 1993

25 years ago, a 12-year-old boy kept a diary. He wrote in it every single day of the year 1993. This year – 2018 – that boy is a 37-year-old man, and he's going through that diary, week by week, to see how he's different, how he's the same, and what we can learn by figuring out who we used to be.
