After finishing greeting the reindeer, Santa has Joe hop into the sleigh. Santa then gives Joe a special present. Joe is very excited about the gift and then asks if Santa got anything Cornelia. We question if Santa had some “magical” residue visible on hands and if Santa should have got Joe a more practical present. Join us as we talk about Minute 77 of Santa Claus: The Movie (1985).

This week Bradford brings us an episode of the Viceland comedy series “Nirvanna The Band The Show”. The episode, titled “The Bean”, follows its stars’ attempt to sneak a float into the Toronto Christmas parade as a means of promoting their rock band that may or may not actually exist.
Christmas gags abound on this episode, including a surprisingly detailed homage to the finer points of Home Alone, and The Usual Suspects (for some reason). Meanwhile, our hosts reminisce about their own experiences with Christmas parades, holiday TV, and more!

Hooray, it’s another “great” episode of the TCP.
This show is loaded up to the eyeballs with the usual drivel.
Fist up we have a brand new segment where Rich Chambers, singer and songwriter, shares one of his Christmas memories and then we play a clip from one of the songs from his Christmas album, Santa’s Rockin Band.
To check out the full album, here’s a link:

Then we have the return of Robin Sings. This episode she sings another request from Eddie Honan’s mum Nancy. She asked to hear Dominic The Donkey.
Then it’s our Top Ten Christmas Movies lists and this week the lists are provided by the show’s No. 1 Fan Lee Maher and Crick Jimney.
Next up it’s 3 crappy yule logs. This episode they’re from Lego. If you really want to watch them, here’s some links:

This episode’s version of A Christmas Carol is crap. It’s by Sugar Tales and I really wouldn’t waste your time if I were you:
Then we have the return of my favourite segment, Christmas Stories of Shame. We share the sad affair of the year Adam Parker received a bunch of gifts he’d received the year before.
Adam hosts the Merry Bristmas Podcast and it’s great, check it out:

This episodes recommendation is Santa & Ruudy, a great online comic strip featuring the big man himself and his ruby nosed reindeer. It’s written and drawn by Geoff Malcomson and is definitely worth following.

Episode 39 – Santa’s Rockin Band
As their run of bonus episodes wind down, the boys take a look at a series from a country where they have the most listeners who don’t speak English: Germany. Over Christmas (or ÜberWeihnachten) is a German limited series that is available on Netflix. The boys watch all three episodes and find themselves in perhaps the toughest spot yet for determining an accurate rating. Stick around until the end to find out what if they think this series is worth your time.
Other topics discussed in this episode include: Feed the Arts, outing people, instruments, fantasy sequences, German culture, friendships, small town living, satisfying endings, grandmas, good soundtracks, and Jon declaring this holiday season “Tight Boy Christmas.”

Title: CWFC 086 – Christmas Photo Tips and Advice
A Christmas without this sweet bread is barely a Christmas in Italy: loathed or loved, the Milanese born loaf is something everyone has in the kitchen this time of the year. Light, fragrant and pleasantly rich, lovers of this bread relish its candied fruit aroma and its ultimate simplicity. Making it is a labour of love, time and luck: it is not simple to reach that perfect light, buttery fluffiness we enjoy at home.
Famous as it is, not many are aware of its fascinating history: panettone is a cake of dreams, fit for an appearance in every fairy tale, not only because it is heavenly, but also because of the many legends surrounding its origin.

Welcome to episode 28 of Holly Jolly X’masu! In this episode, I talk about Criola’s spectacular 1992 album, “Criola Winter Songbook.”
I heard this online a few years ago and fell in love with it the first time I played it. When I found they had another Christmas song on their third album, I knew I had to track it down as well.
I love Criola’s sound. Pianica Maeda seems to bring a similar feel to everything he’s involved with. When I got “Winter Songbook,” the album “Cactus Man” by his band Piranians was included. If you enjoyed these last two episodes, it’s worth seeking out as well.
As I mentioned in the episode, my favorite discovery while researching this album was the history behind the song “Tannenbaum.” It comes from John Simon’s 1971 album, “John Simon’s Album.” I might have to pick up a copy at some point. Here’s the video for his version of the song:
Thanks for listening, and I hope you enjoyed Criola as much as I do. Join me here next month as I cover a pair of more recent albums. “Happy Christmas from Shimokita” is a wonderful compilation produced and released during the pandemic, while Ohashi Trio’s “Magic” from 2015 is one of the best Christmas albums I’ve heard in recent years. I’ll also be doing a special patron-sponsored episode thanks to some recent Ko-fi donations.
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. Any donations received will be put towards purchasing 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!

Title: Episode 28 – Criola Winter Songbook
Christmas of the 20th Century continues with this new episode exploring the years from 1910 to 1919. It was an epic era of change fueled by World War I and a global pandemic.
But what was it really like?
Everything in the world was changing. During these years we went from horse-and-buggy to speedy automobiles. News was soon to be heard over the radio before it could be printed in newspapers. Houses were starting to become wired for electricity and life in the home was forever changed as technology made new appliances do the work that previously was nothing short of manual labor.
Christmas changed too — especially in movies and in music. The Victrola – a talking machine that recorded sound and played it back – became the must-have device of this decade. We tell the story of how recording and playback was done. It was advanced science for the times but primitive to us today. The fascinating story of the Columbia Record Company is told as it worked to bring recordings of large choral and orchestra groups to the mass market. This episode features lots of music from era and showcases just how far sound has come.
Movers and shakers, especially as it related to Christmas, include Norman Rockwell, who is featured prominently in this episode. We also explore the history of World War I and how that global event was affected by Christmas during each year of the war.
The decade closes with two major events: a global pandemic and the onset of Prohibition. These two changed everything about Christmas, with headlines that eerily mirror what we are experiencing today.
