## Resource

This week’s episode is pure Merry Crisis energy in the best way: cozy chaos, seasonal depression, and holiday horror stories all rolled into one. We pull together Reddit confessions, off-the-rails family traditions, and a couple of bite-sized true crime tales that prove the holidays are less “Hallmark movie” and more “why is Santa staring at me like that?” If you need an excuse to put on noise-canceling headphones and hide from your kids, in-laws, or capitalism in general, this one’s your festive escape hatch.​ “That’s Genevieve. And that’s Kaitlyn.” Sisters-in-law, best friends, former CNAs, and the sharp-witted duo behind Camping Is Canceled . Known for their mix of research-driven storytelling and unfiltered commentary, Gen and Kait tackle true crime cases (and paranormal rabbit holes) with empathy, curiosity, and a healthy dose of dark humor. 📲 Instagram: @campingiscanceled 📲 TikTok: @campingiscanceled 📧 Contact: campingiscanceled@gmail.com 🎧 Listen now — everywhere you get your podcasts.
