The holidays must bring out a sense of appreciation for fellow gamers as this week’s Joystiq Podcast continues the trend of nothing but reader mails. Christmas memories are the focus hear and there are some great stories, some heart-warming, some not so much.

It may not be too surprising, but there is a lot of love for Nintendo, and more specifically the N64 here. Sega also still holds a special place in many people’s hearts, with the Sega CD getting a surprising amount of mentions.

Get into the holiday spirit before listening to this one. Chris, Justin nd Ludwig share some personal stories as well.

Finally, the Holiday Funanza has arrived! We’ve got some wonderful music and a ton of your holiday memories to help put us into the giving spirit, all accompanied by Raymond Ocdol’s humbug of a photoshop.

Get a warm drink and some warmer slippers, gather the family around and get ready to have your ass wassailed clean off.
