Throughout 2024 we kept up with Rusty’s progress on his 50-year project, where he spent the whole year writing and recording FIFTY songs, one for each year of his life. At the end of the livestream for the final episode of the season last month, we debuted this song that he wrote about our podcast for the 2019 track.

Today is Rusty’s birthday, and you can grab all 50 tracks here!

Tis the Podcast

This week on “Tis the Podcast“, the elves dive into the 2024 Hulu original film “Nutcrackers.” When Ben Stiller’s character is called to handle his recently deceased sister’s affairs, he discovers her children living in a state of chaos on their rural Ohio farm. As this uptight city dweller grapples with his newfound responsibility to his feral nephews, will the spirit of Christmas – and a reimagined version of “The Nutcracker” – help him discover what family truly means?

Join Anthony, Julia, and Thom as they discuss this unique holiday tale, debate Ben Stiller’s performance, and explore whether this film earns its emotional payoff. Plus, hear their thoughts on rural internet connections, the magic of dance, and what makes a Christmas movie truly feel “Christmassy.”

Pour yourself some eggnog, cozy up by the fire, and join us for another lively discussion as we continue our mission to keep the Christmas spirit alive 365 days a year. Don’t forget to share your thoughts with us on social media after listening!

Enjoy! And thanks for your love and support, y’all! 🎅🏻🎄🎁 🦌🦉⛄️🚂🔔 🤶🏻 🎀 ❄️

Festive Fans Unite! (send us a message)

The Festive Fans get knocked down by the stunning beauty of Latvia but get up again to enjoy the infectious spirit and irresistible charm of the 2022 film Circenisa Ziemassvetki.  We travel to the Baltic region this episode to explore a place we knew little about beforehand, a fact but that was never going to keep us down.  Latvia is Eastern Europe’s best kept little secret — with its Medieval architecture and castles, cobblestoned streets, sandy beaches, and lush forests.  It has a rich cultural history of singing, dancing, and feasting for the holidays.  It is easy to appreciate how such a beautiful location can produce a movie brimming with true joy and a touch of real magic. It has the vital elements we require in our epic Christmas classics — bank robbery, prison, and semi-pro hockey.  Plus, Bruno Circenis is the iconic character we need today.  He inspires us to believe that a bit of Santa Claus lives in all of us.

This is a film to remind us of the good times and a film to remind of the better times.  So grab whatever you need — a whiskey drink or a vodka drink — and gather around to hear a story so entertaining, it was the most watched film during the Christmas season in Latvia and Sony Pictures has bought the rights for a remake.

And just so you know, afterward we’ll be singin’ when we’re winnin’ Danny Boy.

Welcome to episode 133 of Holly Jolly X’masu! In this episode, I talk about the 1963 album, “$100 Million Christmas In Stereophonic Sounds,” featuring Hiroshi Ishimaru conducting the Tokyo Symphony Orchestra.

I hope you enjoyed Hiroshi Ishimaru’s “$100 Million Christmas In Stereophonic Sounds.” It’s really a fantastic album. I’m sorry that this episode is a little lighter on content than most episodes. I had a lot going on around Christmas and really needed to take a mental break for a couple weeks. I’m also struggling to get over a stomach bug, so that made it hard to devote a lot of time to researching and writing this episode. I’m going to try to get another episode out before the end of the month, and then start working on recording and digitizing the records I got for Christmas.

Be sure to listen in next time when I talk about singer and actress Mari Henmi’s 1971 album, “Mari Henmi & X’mas Evening.” It’s an interesting album, sort of a one-woman musical play. It has some great performances so I’m sure you’ll enjoy it.

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. All proceeds 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!

The holidays are filled with family get-togethers.  In case of unexpected guests, this dish can be made days ahead and can be kept at room temperature indefinitely.  It’s the national dish of this South American country and can be made with almost any type of protein.  Its other main ingredient is a natural antiseptic and this dish is usually served with a bread shaped like braided hair.  We’re looking into the history and origins of pepperpot.

Welcome back, Christmas Cousins, to episode 199!!!

 

Well, we finally tracked down everyone’s favorite cousin-our dear Cousin Seth-to record a new epsiode.

 

Turns out, he befriended a family of bears and they invited him to hibernate with them for the winter. Is there any species this guy can’t charm?

 

But we digress…on today’s episode the Cousins catch up on the latest show news, happenings, plans and, of course, an update on whether Cousin Seth is experiencing the dreaded post-Christmas blues and updates on his love life with Mrs. X!

 

And, we’d sure love a winter gift of an Apple review or a subscribe on our YouTube page, so please take a moment and bring some joy to the Cousins!
