Merry Christmas from all of us here at Kneel Before Blog. For this year’s Christmas Special, we have formed another writer's room to come up with another Christmas classic. Our writers are tasked with coming up with an origin story for the iconic Home Alone villains, the Wet Bandit.

Listen up and let us know if you’d watch what we came up with. If you like it then get the word out. Maybe you’ll see it on a streaming service near you.
