In today’s episode we explore how true Americans celebrate Christmas – the Native Americans.  Yes, we make a visit to the American Indian nation, as a Thanksgiving Day salute to the indigenous people who saved the Pilgrim butts and got a big thank you dinner and European delicacies like smallpox and kidnapping. When we first learned to say Merry Christmas in the language of the Mi’Kmaw tribe during our Quebec episode, we wondered aloud if there was a Christmas movie featuring native people and we found a delightful one.  We thought it appropriate for this weekend to kick off the holiday season with a lighthearted romp at a Utah ski resort, that includes all of your favorite rom-com tropes:  convenient coincidences, obvious misunderstandings, and a beautiful snow-filled festive setting.  Sit back, turn off Yellowstone, and enjoy a cheery movie filled native people and without the stereotypical portrayal of casinos and substance abuse.   Merry Christmas!

Welcome to episode 95 of Holly Jolly X’masu! In this episode, I talk about Shoji Suzuki’s 1961 album, “Swingin’ Christmas.”

I truly hope you enjoyed this episode. This is one of my favorite albums and played a huge part in my collecting journey. I’d love to say it’s the best album in my collection, but I actually have several others that blow it away. I’ll be covering one of those on Christmas Day.

I mentioned Shoji Suzuki’s biggest hit, “Suzukake No Michi,” and I wanted to share a video of it with you. This is from 1987 and features the Rhythm Aces lineup that appeared on this album—Shoji Suzuki on clarinet, Toshio Suzuki on piano, Jimmy Takeuchi on drums, Ryusei Matsuzaki on vibraphone, and Yoichi Kobayashi on bass. I loved finding this and being able to see the entire band performing.

Shoji Suzuki and his Rhythm Aces – Suzukake no Michi – 1987

As hard as it is to believe, December is just around the corner, which means I’ll have a new episode each week. Throughout the month, I’ll be covering some of the best and most interesting albums in my collection. I’ll start off with the Meiji Gakuin University Glee Club’s 10th anniversary performance of Bach’s Christmas Oratorio. After that, I’ll cover a really groovy late 60s album, “Christmas Song/New Year’s Song.” Then tune in for Kayo Ishu’s outstanding vocal jazz album, “Scat Christmas.” I’ll close out the year with a pair of extremely rare albums from the early 70s that have to be heard to be believed.

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!

Top 5 Things We’re Thankful For

Decorative nutcrackers — most often resembling a toy soldier, but available in countless other characters — are synonymous with the Christmas season. Why? It’s a story whose origins predate Christmas itself. And whose history involves a mining town, Napoleon, dance theater, and World War two. So…let’s get crackin’!

Happy Thursday, Christmas fanatics! And Happy Thanksgiving!

As a special Turkey Day treat for y’all, Julia, Thom, and Anthony have gathered to discuss the 1983, Jim Henson production, “A Thanksgiving Tale“!

What do the elves think of this holiday special, that is definitely a product of its time? Truth be told, they’re split on it – which is quite unusual for them when it comes to anything even tangentially Muppet related! Where do they each fall? Does a lack of nostalgia do this special a disservice? And regardless of quality, does it feel sufficiently Autumn-y and Thanksgiving-y to our hosts? Well – you’ll just have to tune in and listen to find out!

So in your post Thanksgiving feast haze this evening, put your feet up, relax, and enjoy this holiday gift from us to you! We hope you have the most wonderful day filled with turkey trots, parades, football, food, drinks, family, friends, and an abundance of love. We are so thankful for each and every one of you, your love, and your support. We’re so excited to countdown the remaining weeks until Christmas with all of y’all! ❤️🍂🦃🍽️🍷🏈🎅🏻🎄🎁 🦌🦉⛄️🔔🚂 🤶🏻 🎀 ❄️
