This is a special episode for our listeners in the Rocky Mountain region or Intermountain West. The Forgotten Carols is a Christmas time tradition for many residents in this area for almost 30 years. This year, it will not be in front of a live audience. Instead, it was put on film and opens in theaters, Friday November 20th. Mary Richards spoke with the author/composer Michael McLean about bringing it to the big screen.
In this special bonus episode, Todd talks with American Idol standout, Johanna Jones, about her new Christmas album “It’s Christmastime.” Johanna’s husband, Matt, also joins in to talk about his proposal on national TV and about Christmas as a newly married couple. Follow Johanna on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.

Are you in the mood for a simple Christmas? In this episode, I have a phone interview with author Nancy Carey Johnson and talk about her book “The Vermont Homesteader’s Christmas Memories”. We talk about her book, homesteading, Christmas music, pets and we share heartwarming stories of family, friends, and Jolly the Christmas dog. It’s a conversation you won’t want to miss! And her book is full of many more wonderful stories.
Gracie and I have a chat about our hopes for Thanksgiving… she wants to see her Grandma and Grandpa, and I want to eat my weight in stuffing and turkey.
Then for our story, I read a couple of poems. “Christmas Carol” by Paul Laurence Dunbar, and “War Time Christmas” by World War I poet Joyce Kilmer.

Reading and writing, writing and reading. This week, we spend some time in the elves’ mailroom as Dooley and the others happily manage all the incoming letters from children from around the world. Then, we are inside a stately home where a little girl begs her brother to stop abusing their pet cat. Join us as we discuss Minute 34 of Santa Claus: The Movie (1985).
This episode is all about the best singers at Christmas time. Chances are you’ve danced to a tune from a crooner like Bing Crosby, Dean Martin or Ella Fitzgerald, or newer singers like Michael Buble and Il Divo. Rikki chats with JJ from Christmas Music News (@NewXmasMusic on Twitter).

In today’s episode, listener Mackenzie shares a memory of her Black Friday tradition. Then I interview author CJ Livingstone of the new Christmas book “Santa, Inc.” We talk about his book, Christmas, and the power of kindness. Finally, I read Louisa May Alcott’s story “Tilly’s Christmas” which continues the theme of showing the power of kindness.

New Christmas music in 2020 is like everything else related to 2020: very different.
In fact, we would say there is more heart to the music this year and nothing showcases that better than the good work of the artists and musicians whose songs we feature in this traditional episode of the Merry Little Podcast.
Each year we try to do this. To share new music of Christmas is to share Christmas better than almost anything else.
We purposely steer clear of the mainstream and the known in this episode to feature those emerging artists who give their all to Christmas in their art. That’s what makes this episode powerful and that’s what makes it fun.
Here is the new Christmas music we’re featuring this time around:

It’s another packed show, it’s packed in tighter than sardines wearing their thick Christmas jumpers, and it’s just as cosy.
There’s a bunch of messages from listeners and finally one of those listeners has a suggestion for a Christmas gift. Plus we introduce you to our brand new Scandinavian correspondent Bjorn.
Robin sings Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer, and gets nearly all the words right… who’d believe it.
The song this episode is the seldom heard Christmas In Smurfland by Father Abraham and the Smurfs and it’s a beautiful little tune. Listen to it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghrE0PKIAgo
Then we talk about the Smurf’s Christmas Carol and despite the fact it strays far from the original story it’s actually lots of fun.
As threatened last episode we return to the world of Christmas plants with 6 legends related to the plants that flower at Christmas.
The Yule Lad is window peeper, is he casing the joint or is he just a perv watching me getting changed.
This episode’s recommendation is Merry Britsmas. Hosted by Adam Parker, this fantastic podcast talks about the Christmas traditions and celebrations in the UK. Here’s a link: https://www.merrybritsmas.co.uk/
Finally, this week we introduce our brand new offer. If you record a Christmas story and email it through we’ll send you a gift that is worth (in my opinion) £1000. This is not a joke (well, it sort of is, but a very bad one so you wouldn’t class it as a joke) so send us your stories. You have until the 7th of December to get them to us.
If you want to get in touch you can email us at totalchristmas@gmail.com or visit the website totalchristmaspodcast.com.
In the seventh episode of 12 Days Pod, Cara and Dan discuss time travel, Santa’s different states of matter, and why this movie is Tom Hanks’ one-man-show.
