For years, internet sleuths have tried to identify a cartoon based on nothing but an old family Christmas photo. In an amazing turn of events, not only was the cartoon identified, but it turned out to be an obscure Christmas special titled The Christmas Gift of Light. So you know we had to watch that thing ASAP!
And watch it we did. On this Stocking Stuffer, Joe and Johnny-5 break down this odd little relic, spending entirely too long looking into the IMDb profiles of most of the voice cast, pondering the cartoon’s purpose, and asking the big questions like “Why did we even want to watch this in the first place?”

This week, travel to the midwest with the elves as they gather at Hoover International Airport to discuss the infamous 2006 film, “Unaccompanied Minors“! While Julia, Thom, and Anthony all come in rather close when it comes time to ranking this film, their opinions and mileage vary and span the spectrum! Who liked it the most? Who loathed it with every fiber of their being? And who didn’t like it but thought it stuck the ending which saved it somewhat? Tune in to find out!
Also in this episode: the hosts pay tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth II, talk (and rant) about Disney, and discuss much, much more!
So, settle back with your Pumpkin Spice Lattes, relax, and enjoy this fun episode! As always, thanks for your love and support, y’all! 🎅🏻 🎄 🎁 🦌 ⛄️ 🦉 🔔 🚂 🤶🏻 ❄️ 🎀

Hello Cozies, in today’s episode I’ll be reading the short story “Christmas Jenny” by Mary E Wilkins Freeman. It’s a charming little Christmas story that celebrates kindness and has some really fun characters in it. I hope you’ll enjoy it!
But before I get to the story, I talk about this month’s reading prompt and a couple of fun news items that I’ll be doing in September! Enjoy!

This week on Australia’s ONLY Christmas Podcast we debate if anyone actually has the right to lay claim on the title The Queen of Christmas. We’ve all heard who has, but do they deserve it.
Why making a Christmas Resolution is a sure fire way to add sparkle to your festive season and change the way you’ve been celebrating plus
We explain all the terms we use as Australian’s in every day that has been brought to our attention may have been lost in translation with all our lovely international podcast listeners. We’re sorry we are hard to understand sometimes, so we will translate all the words we assumed everybody knew. Our bad, we were very wrong.
Coming up with your Christmas Podding Hosts Liam and Ness on Christmas Podding.

Title: Christmas Podding – Why making a Christmas Resolution this year may change your entire Festive Season for the better..

As a special end of the weekend treat, please enjoy this Emergency Episode in which Julia, Thom, and Anthony gather to discuss two trailers dropped by Disney + this weekend – those for “Hocus Pocus 2“, a sequel 29 years in the making, and “The Santa Clauses“, the miniseries that will serve as the end of Tim Allen’s tenure as Santa Claus!
The elves have been looking forward to both highly anticipated projects since they were announced and have been excited to get sneak peeks at these legacy sequels. How did they feel about them? Well, one trailer went through the greatest hits and played heavy on the nostalgia associated with the original, while still making them curious and thrilled over the direction of this new chapter, while the other trailer left them wanting and very nervous for the finished project. Which elicited which feelings? You’ll just have to listen to find out!
So, settle back with your Pumpkin Spice Lattes, enjoy this special bonus episode, and let us know what you think of both trailers on our social media pages! And make sure to check your feeds tomorrow morning for your regularly scheduled weekly episode in which the elves cover the 2006 film, “Unaccompanied Minors“!
As always, thanks for your love and support, y’all! 🍂 🎃🕯🧟♂️🐈⬛🎅🏻 🎄 🎁 🦌 ⛄️ 🦉 🔔 🚂 🤶🏻 ❄️ 🎀

It’s another packed show and there’s no time to waste.
First up we give our Scandinavian-American correspondent some tips on how to make an authentic Jacob Marley Christmas costume.
Then it’s this episode’s version of a Christmas Carol. It’s called Huh Huh Humbug and it was part of the Beavis and Butthead Do Christmas episode.
If you want to watch it it’s on YouTube, but it’s lots of parts you have to watch in a row, here’s a link:
Then we have another brand new segment from our podcast barman, Bob Baker. We’re calling it Wonderful Christmastime and each episode we’ll be looking at different Christmas activities you can get involved in to make Christmas that bit more special.
Next up we take a look at the history of the real Saint Nicholas, there’s not a lot of historical records and some that we have are a bit dubious, but it’s interesting stuff and we’ll also look at one of the legends associated with him.
Then Bob Baker is back with Do You Hear What I Hear, and this time Bob hears the word ‘Dodgy’.
Then its’s the quiz and you know you love it.
This episode’s recommendation is You Must Remember This, a podcast that looks at the forgotten stories from the early days of Hollywood. I’ve been a listener for years and I love the show.

After a brief delay, this is our final episode from our Christmas in July series, “Christmas Catalogues.” Rikki chats with Gerry D from Totally Rad Christmas Podcast about the song from Captain Sensible on “One Christmas Catalogue.” And you’ll hear clips from Captain Sensible himself, which Gerry has graciously allowed us to use on our show.
The holidays are times of cocktail parties and social obligations. It’s not uncommon to have a tipple or two when you’re out with friends to help you warm up from the cold weather. This drink may remind people of a certain cat and mouse couple, but its origins go back even further. This frothy, warm cocktail is a near cousin to the titular holiday drink eggnog and even comes in its own serving container. We’re exploring the history and origins of this American classic: the Tom and Jerry.

“Buy local” and “support local business” are both phrases that have been stated and heard millions of times. What if one of your local businesses is as niche as a Christmas shop? How important are you to them?
Plus, we will finish up our series of Christmas On Purpose. Focusing on what we can and can’t do and how good intentions or the mythical time management of minds could ruin our holiday season.

He starts off talking about his recently launched Standards Station, and gets into what it means for a song to be a Standard, and the different kinds of music his new station plays. The Standards Station launched on September 1. Then, he talks about Halloween Music, which will be featured next month when the Sounds of Christmas becomes the Sounds of Halloween on October 1.

Happy ‘Ber Months! Before jumping into the thick of our Halloween content, we are dropping a special BONUS episode centered around going back to school! This week we are covering Boy Meets World’s second season episode titled “Back 2 School.”
In this episode, Matt discusses his love of the new Boy Meets World podcast, how much he likes Mr. Turner in the show and how this episode has a pair of strange jokes revolved around a character’s sexuality and the enhancement of a body part for one female character. Despite those jokes, Matt has a lot of fond memories with this episode and, as always, determines whether or not this should be deemed a classic!
