You may be dying to know that for this episode, we dig up Mark's past -- and it's of grave interest. Since his dad was the town's undrtaker, he is best suited to lay out our film for public viewing. We explore a dreary holiday in a town entombed by its sole industry -- asbestos mining. And Mark buries it pretty good. But don't write our obit yet, we also enjoy the better part of being Quebecois at Christmas -- pig's feet soup, flying canoes, lumberjacks, and a star fairy. And don't forget to wash it all down with communion wine!
