Christmas at Thompson Hall: A Christmas Story by Anthony Trollope, Part 1 of 4

Can you believe Christmas will be here in only two weeks!!?? To help you celebrate the season, this month I will be reading the story “Christmas at Thompson Hall” by Anthony Trollope. It was first published in the magazine ‘The Graphic’ in their Christmas issue in 1876.

In the first part of the story, Mrs. Brown and a reluctant Mr. Brown are traveling to see Mrs. Brown’s family at Thompson Hall for Christmas. On their journey, Mr. Brown decides to break up their trip and stay in a hotel because he’s not feeling well… (definitely was the man flu!). The well-meaning (and slightly peeved) Mrs. Brown decides to try and prepare him a mustard poultice… what could possibly go wrong?

Make sure to subscribe so you won’t miss a single episode of this funny and heartwarming story, Christmas at Thompson Hall!

Also, be sure to follow me on my other youtube channel, as I am talking about A Christmas Carol and other related books! https://www.youtube.com/c/ArtBookshelfOdyssey

Roger Rabbit and the Christmas Factory (w/ Tim Babb)

What’s up, dudes? In 1988, “Who Framed Roger Rabbit” was a huge hit, and introduced us to the titular character. Disney then thought it was a great idea to give him his own Disneyland show! I’ve got Tim Babb from Can’t Wait for Christmas with me to talk all about this bonkers Roger Rabbit Christmas stage show! Yes, it’s “Roger Rabbit and the Christmas Factory!”

It’s Christmas Eve, and Santa’s still looking to hire an elf to help him meet his quota before the big delivery. Subsequently Murray, the elf foreman, hires Roger Rabbit. Roger is in charge of using supercomputer MACS to produce toys. As he falls behind, he cranks up the speed and accidentally halts production. Attempting to fix MACS, Roger accidentally clones himself. After he completes his repairs, he begins to once again manufacture toys. Unfortunately he picks up speed and, in a moment of sheer desperation, hits the panic button. With the supercomputer down, and the Holiday Clock reminding him time is short, Roger must rely on Santa to fix the situation.

New York accented head elf? Got it. Toon Town stylized SkyNet AI? It’s in there. Anthropomorphic Christmas trees and computer manual “Manuel?” Well… So grab your elf hat, head to Disneyland, and enjoy this episode full of Roger Rabbit Christmas shenanigans!

Episode 97: Christmas Song / New Year’s Song

Welcome to episode 97 of Holly Jolly X’masu! In this episode, I talk about the 1968 album, “Christmas Song / New Year’s Song.”

This was a much more enjoyable album than I thought it would be. I love it when a record exceeds my expectations, and this one really blew them away. This tends to be my busiest, most hectic time of the year, and my podcast is one of those things that I’m often tempted to put to the side. When I really like an album, though, it encourages me to keep going. I picked five really great ones this month, so I’ve actually been able to stay ahead of schedule.

Be sure to join me back here next week for an album I spent over two years tracking down, Kayo Ishu’s “Scat Christmas,” from 1969. It occupied the #1 spot on my wishlist for so long, I didn’t think I’d ever get a copy. Then listen in on Christmas Day for one of the most amazing albums you’ll ever hear. It’s one of the most sought-after Japanese Christmas albums, and an absolute Christmas masterpiece. And be sure to listen in on New Year’s Eve for my special 100th episode where I’ll be covering another exceedingly rare album that will really blow you away.

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!
