Nestor the Long-Eared Christmas Donkey (w/ Jeff and Jeremy)

What’s up, dudes? You never knew Santa had a donkey? Well, Jeff Loftin from Lost Christmas and Alamo City Santa Jeremy Phelps did. In fact, they’re here with me to talk all about the Rankin Bass special “Nestor the Long-Eared Christmas Donkey!”

Nestor was born with abnormally long ears. His owner mistreated him, and the other animals teased him. One night when Roman soldiers came to the stable to buy donkeys, they dismiss Nestor and take all the other donkeys for free. Enraged, Olaf casts Nestor out into the frigid cold. Nestor’s mother finds him and shields from the harsh weather with her own body, freezing to death in the process.

The next day, Nestor meets a cherub named Tilly, who says that they need to travel to Bethlehem. When they reach the outskirts of the town, Tilly returns to Heaven, instructing Nestor to wait. When Mary and Joseph are expecting Jesus, they take Nestor because of his “gentle eyes”, but are caught in a sandstorm. In the midst of the storm, Nestor hears Tilly’s voice, but recognizes it as his mother’s. She tells him to follow the voices of the angels. Nestor guides Mary and Joseph through the storm, while wrapping Mary in his ears to keep her warm. They arrive in Bethlehem, where Nestor finds the stable where Mary gives birth to Jesus. Nestor heads back home where he is hailed as hero by Olaf and the other animals.

Santa? Check. The Holy Family? Yep. Spieltoe? Never thought Santa had a pack mule! So grab your Nativity scene and add a donkey to this episode on “Nestor the Long-Eared Christmas Donkey!”

East Meets West: Advent (w/ Thom Crowe)

What’s up, dudes? Advent is here, and it’s time to prepare for Christmas! Fr. Thom Crowe from ‘Tis the Podcast is here with me to discuss the differences between Catholic and Orthodox Advent liturgies!

How long is each one? Which one omits parts of the Ordinary? Are they both strict fasts? We get into all of it! There are striking similarities and glaring differences. The sanctoral and temporal cycles overlap, and function as a weak analogy of the hydrostatic union.

The West has more structural variation and variable parts parts, but the East has the stricter fast. We delve into the Mass/Divine Liturgy and the Office/Hours. After that, we tackle popular Advent devotions from both traditions. St. Nicholas definitely gets some play!

Gloria in excelsis? Nope. Te Deum? Uh uh. Benedicamus Domino? Definitely! So grab your folded chasuble, switch it out for a broad stole, and chant along to this episode on Catholic and Orthodox Advent liturgies!

S2:E4 – A Ghost from Podcast Past

On this episode, an old familiar face is back! It’s Silly Dylly. One of my close friends and a massive fan of Christmas. He’s been on all of my other podcasts, so why not bring him back to see what he’s been up to.

As usual, we discuss everything and anything that pops into our minds.

Did I forget to mention that he’s my editor? If it wasn’t for him, this podcast would likely never get uploaded. So, again, thank you, Dylan! 🎅🎄
