Backstory: Ivy

For a long time, ivy conjured images of all things pagan, superstitious, gluttonous, debauched, and morbid. For those reasons, it would be forbidden from churches and Christian homes. Today, it’s a classic symbol of Christmas. Sue Hunter joins Brian to tell this uniquely Christmassy turnaround story.

Thank you to composer Sarah Cattley for permission to share the beautiful rendition of “Ivy, Chief of Trees it Is,” performed by the Granta Chorale and conducted by Janet Wheeler.

Celebrating 150 Episodes: chatting with Gracie, a Matchstick Mouse, and an… A.I. Christmas?

There is a bit of a festive spirit around the Cozy Christmas Lodge today… we are celebrating 150 episodes! I want to thank you all for your support and participation in what has become one of the most creatively satisfying experiences of my life.

So today we start off by looking to the future of Christmas Celebrations, and see what kind of Christmas songs and stories A.I. can make up. While it doesn’t go horribly wrong, it does feel kind of… soulless. Then I read a charming children’s story called “Matchstick Mouse: Merry Little Christmas” which is written by one of our faithful listeners, Morgan O’Brien! Then I finally am able to sit down with Gracie and catch up on her life. We talk about the “Home for the Holidays” variety show we participated in, including all the details about the Christmas Carol skit. Then we talked about the musical “Wicked”, Christmas Music, and the first question of a new segment called Ask Gracie Anything, in which I try to explain who and what the Glo-Friends were.

Night Court “Santa Goes Downtown“ (w/ Robbie and Tim)

What’s up, dudes? Remember “Night Court?” Tim Williams from 80’s Flick Flashback and Robbie Sherman from Conversations with Robbie Sherman do, and they’re here to talk about the most iconic Christmas episode ‘Santa Goes Downtown!’

In its first Christmas episode, a defendant that identifies himself only as Santa Claus comes before the court. He’s before the court accused of trespassing. “Santa,” who is referred to as “John Doe”, seems to know everyone’s name and facts about their pasts. Soon after, two troubled teens that refuse to give their names appear before Judge Stone. The two runaway teens, named Marty McFly—I mean Eddie—and Mary, shoplifted items from a convenient store.

“Santa”, convinced he actually is St. Nicholas, tries hard to persuade the teens that he is in fact Santa Claus. Consequently, he helps the young runaways resolve their issues and offers Harry the opportunity to succeed him as the next Santa. While the “Santa” turns out to be a harmless escaped mental patient, there are distinct hints that he may in fact be the real thing. And thus, Magic and mystery become an established part of the “Night Court” universe.

Boozing Santa? Check. Angsty teens? Yep. Ambiguously magical mental patient Santa? Definitely! So grab your dingy Santa suit, booze up, and judge this episode on ‘Santa Goes Downtown!’

What Makes a Christmas Movie? Debating the Rules and Defining the Classics

Is Die Hard a Christmas movie? What about Gremlins or The Nightmare Before Christmas? In this festive episode, we tackle the age-old debate: what is and isn’t a Christmas movie? Join us as we break down the rules and criteria that define a holiday classic. Does the movie need to take place during Christmas? Is a focus on holiday themes required, or can a backdrop of snow and lights suffice?

We’ll explore fan-favorite films, controversial choices, and some unexpected titles that just might qualify as Christmas movies. Whether you’re team traditional (It’s a Wonderful Life, Home Alone) or love an unconventional twist (Batman Returns, anyone?), this episode will have you rethinking your holiday watchlist.

At the end of the episode, I’ll read an excerpt from The Lost Years of Santa Claus, the book that reveals the untold adventures of Santa and his legendary journey to becoming the heart of Christmas magic. Tune in for a spirited holiday debate you won’t want to miss! 🎥🎄✨
