Nothing Says “Merry Christmas” Like A Hostage Situation! (Reba – Season 2 – Episode 10 – Cookies For Santa)

Welcome to episode 105 of Holly Jolly X’masu! In this episode, I talk about Akiko’s 2007 album, “A White Album.”

I hope you enjoyed “A White Album.” Japanese Jazz from the 1960s was one of the main reasons I started collecting, but a lot of fantastic Christmas Jazz albums have come out of Japan over the past twenty years as well. It’s always fun discovering something new.

Join me back here on the 25th for Akiko’s second Christmas album, “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas.” It features more stripped-down arrangements and puts a lot more focus on Akiko’s vocals. It’s another great album you’re sure to enjoy.

As always, any feedback on this episode would be appreciated. If have any suggestions, or if you’d like to recommend a song or album for a future episode, drop me a line and let me know.

Remember, I’ve added a button to my Ko-fi page. If you’d like to support me one cup of coffee at a time, a donation is only $3. I’ve also opened a Redbubble store. I only have a couple designs up, but keep an eye on it as I’ll be trying to add more. Half of any proceeds or donations received will be donated to support the people of Ukraine, while the rest will be used to purchase new Japanese Christmas music to review for future episodes. You can also find me on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. And if you get a chance, leave me a review on iTunes. Thanks!

Try As They Will And Try As They Might, Who Steals Me Gold Won’t Live Through The Night! (Leprechaun)

Tis the Podcast'

What’s up, dudes? It’s a St. Patrick’s Day Christmas when Shawn Robare from Cult Film Club, Crestwood House, and Plastic Rocket Pop and I talk the 1981 Rankin Bass special “The Leprechaun’s Christmas Gold!” Written by Romeo Muller, it was originally conceived as a St. Patrick’s Day special, but was retooled and released in December instead. Oh, and the word Christmas is just thrown into random sentences.

One hundred years ago, two leprechaun clans existed. Their gold, unfortunately, attracted the banshee Old Mag the Hag, who used her shapeshifting abilities to cause a rift between the clans. Blarney Kilakilarney, leader of the gold-mining faction, asks Patrick, Lord of the Leprechauns for help. Subsequently, he tricks Mag into turning to tears, and Blarney plants a pine cone atop her puddle. The pine cone, taken from a tree planted by St. Patrick himself, grows into a beautiful tree. Meanwhile, present day sailor Dinty Doyle chops down the tree to use for Christmas. The oblivious boy accidentally releases the banshee, who immediately resumes her quest for gold. Consequently, Blarney gives the gold to Dinty, who is almost instantly tricked by the banshee into giving it to her. Luckily, she doesn’t reach it by Christmas morning and turns to tears! Weird, right?!

Powerful leprechaun wizard lord? Check. Weather controlling shape shifting banshee? Got it. Brightly colored clogs made by the O’Clogjiggers? Yes, but only if they can be distributed amongst the Irish people! So grab your gold, dig up your Christmas tree, and sail into this episode on “The Leprechaun’s Christmas Gold!”

Welcome to the episode.
First up our podcast barman Bob Baker looks at the dichotomy of how is Brits use the word ‘chuffed’ in Do You Hear What I Hear.

This episode we look at the Ducktales episode Last Christmas from season 2 of the reboot in 2018.  It’s not really a version of a Christmas Carol but it does feature the 3 ghosts and let me tell you in no uncertain terms it is crap.

Then it’s the quiz.  I scored 8, let me know how you got on.

Then Bob returns with Spread A Smile Of Joy and this one was suggested to us from our Scandinavian American correspondent Benji Pearson.  It’s a good one.

After that it’s Christmas All Over The World and did you know that Saint Nicholas isn’t the only saint who goes around giving gifts at Christmas.  In Greece they have Saint Basil.  He’s no Santa, but it he gets the job done.

This episode’s recommendation was suggested last week by Bob Baker and I had a listen and really enjoyed it.  It’s from Story Corps and they have lots of people sharing uplifting stories of when strangers have done nice things.

Welcome back Christmas Cousins!

Join us for this instant classic…an AMAZING Cadbury-themed episode of the Christmas Cousins Podcast, where we embark on a taste-testing adventure with our festive freshman, Cousin Seth!

 

By the way, the clip is also on YouTube and highly recommended viewing!!!

As the holiday season transitions from winter to spring, we’re diving into the world of the beloved Cadbury Crème Egg.

In this egg-citing episode, Cousin Chad takes the lead in guiding Cousin Seth through his first-ever Cadbury Crème Egg experience, accompanied by Seth’s son.

With none of them having tasted this iconic treat before, anticipation is high as they prepare for the ultimate taste test.

Cousin Seth, with his trademark nerves and apprehension, is convinced that the Cadbury Crème Egg will taste like eggnog magically encased in chocolate.

Will his prediction hold true, or will the reality be a delightful surprise?

Meanwhile, Cousin Chad can hardly contain his excitement, envisioning this tasting session as a classic moment in Christmas Cousins history, akin to Seth’s legendary first eggnog tasting.

As the taste test unfolds, expect laughter, surprises, and perhaps a few unexpected reactions. Will they fall in love with the Cadbury Crème Egg, or will it leave them scrambling for a glass of water?

Could this tasting session mark a turning point for Seth’s podcasting career, or will it simply add another amusing chapter to the Christmas Cousins saga?

Tune in to discover the outcome of this egg-stravaganza and join us for a joy-filled Easter celebration filled with laughter, camaraderie, and plenty of chocolatey goodness.

Audience Question:
Have you ever tried a Cadbury Crème Egg, and if so, what was your reaction? If not, what Easter treat would you love to taste-test with the Christmas Cousins?

What’s up, dudes? She’s the anthropomorphic cat that adorned all our stationary! That’s right! We’re talking a Hello Kitty Christmas! Ashley Dunbar from The Magic of the Season is with me to dive into the Grinch rip-off episode of “Hello Kitty’s Furry Take Theater!”

It’s Christmas time, and Scroogenip (Scrinchnip?) is aghast at all the yuletide cheer. Determined to avoid the season and cause chaos, she steals the town’s decorations. After Kitty and friends decorate the enormous tree for town square, Scroogenip swipes that too—and everyone else’s trees too! The town seems unphased, so she ups the ante by dressing as Santa Paws and taking all the presents! Realizing that the best part of Christmas is giving, Hello Kitty and gang go caroling and handing out presents. They give a Christmas cookie to Scroogenip/Scrinchnip and it melts her icy heart. She immediately returns the gifts and decorations, Grinch-style.

The Grinch? Yep, played by Catnip. Cindy Lou Who? Uh huh, performed by My Melody. Santa? Well, it’s none other than Grinder. So grab your Santa costume, climb up on the roof, and slide down the chimney to this Hello Kitty Christmas episode!

And we’re back! On this episode, Nikki returns to help Joe and Bradford break down Disney’s most recent holiday offering: The Naughty Nine!

On Christmas morning, Andy discovers Santa did not bring him the video game console he asked for. Realizing he’s been put on the naughty list, Andy enlists the help of seven kids with expert skills (and one adult who’s definitely not Chris Pratt) to fly to the North Pole and steal back the Christmas gifts they rightly deserve. So it’s Ocean’s Eleven but with kids. Cool. Great.

Also in this episode, Joe pitches his own idea for a Christmas kids movie, Bradford explains the distinction between a horse-cop and a cop-horse, and Nikki regrets ever returning to this stupid podcast.

42 weeks / 294 days until Christmas! (“I’ll Be Home for Christmas” Song Battle)

Chrismas Morning

Don’t cry for us Argentina, you have delivered on a very meaty holiday.  And we are not just talking about the ox tongue and tuna sauce at the Asado.   Our first tour stop in South America really delivers its fireworks — both on and off the screen.  La Noche Magica is a film that may seem dark and unsettling, but it is what Mark has described as a “must see”.  The complicated plot finds a thief mistaken for Santa on Christmas Eve who becomes intrigued with the family he is robbing.  He first stumbles upon the wife’s lover, hiding on the balcony.  Next, he walks into an unfortunate love triangle between a fussy collector, his beautiful wife, and the best man at their wedding.  In the midst of this serious storytelling and social reflection, there are also comic moments and black humor to relieve the suspense and to help grapple with the heady subject matter being tackled in this arty Christmas movie   All is not what appears to be, including Nicola and his mission. This is not your conventional festive film but hold on to your red hat for a provocative and colorful ride,

Next, we explore the traditional customs of Nochebuena (Christmas Eve) with an hourly detail of the evening’s events, both the dinner and the Sobremesa.  The all-night party continues with a festive display of fireworks, globitos, and the arrival of Bom Velhinho.  If you can’t make it, at least you can listen to “Ven a Mi Casa Esta Navidad”, which reflects the yearning we all have for a sense of belonging and togetherness during the holiday season. The song is a reminder that if can’t be home, at least you can “Come to My House this Christmas”.
