It is FINALLY December and we are jumping into our first Christmas episode of the year! This week we tackle ‘Have Yourself A Very Winslow Christmas’ from the second season of Family Matters.
We talk about how this episode gives us all the feels, how Freddy Teddy is just a ripoff of Teddy Ruxpin and try to understand why everyone was so mean to Steve Urkel. As always, we will also determine if this episode is a holiday classic or one worth passing on. Be sure to give us a like on Facebook and Instagram and if you leave us a review you can get yourself a FREE TGI Podcast sticker!

(This episode was delayed because of COVID, and was supposed to air before Thanksgiving. That’s why you’ll hear me talk about Thanksgiving as if it were still coming.)
No, not presents… PRESENCE.
In today’s episode I interview singer songwriter Rehya Stevens. We talk about her album Celebrate and we have a lot of laughs sharing Christmas memories. We talk about the importance of giving our presence – that’s with a “c” not “t”! – and being there for our family and each other this during this difficult time. This is one of the most enjoyable interviews I’ve had so far, and I can’t wait for you all to hear it.
My listener memory comes from my sister, and she talks about the joy of baking Christmas cookies with our Grandma.
I know it’s past Thanksgiving, but I have another Thanksgiving story to share: I read A Mystery in the Kitchen by Olive Thorne Miller. It’s a tender story of a sister named Jessie who’s brother has run away from home. And why is Jessie sneaking around in the kitchen?
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! It’s time for Christmas TV specials. Chris & Kris recap the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. In the news, Kris talks about the Rockefeller Center Tree Lighting special and the new telecast of the famous Radio City’s Christmas Spectacular featuring the Rockettes. In Listener Mail, Chris talks about the backlash of his stance on Long Island’s status as an island. Be sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode. Happy Holidays!
Brian is back leading the podcast as drama week kicks off with “Spirit” from the first season of Alias, starring Jennifer Garner, Victor Garber, and Bradley Cooper (available on Amazon Prime). While the boys spend the first few minutes debating what exactly cuticles are, they do eventually get around to discussing the episode at hand to determine whether or not this spy series is hiding a Christmas Classic in its midst. And Brian introduces a new segment called, “How Christmas is it?”
Non-Christmas topics include: Spy craft, southern accents, Jon teaching us about kicking, grenade pens, young Bradley Cooper’s acting abilities, Super Bowl marketing strategies, and Chris trying to remember if Victor Garber was in The Town.

Happy Monday, Christmas fanatics! Can you believe we’ve already reached our last episode of November 2020? Where has the time gone? To celebrate the occasion, join Julia, Thom, and Anthony as they discuss the brand new, 2020, Netflix Original Holiday film, The Christmas Chronicles 2! As you’ll remember, when the elves covered the original Christmas Chronicles back in 2018, Julia and Thom loved the film, the world it created, and the characters it introduced us to, while Anthony thought it was overrated. How does the follow-up stack up? Will the elves be just as divided, or has Belsnickel made these three True Believers cynical? Find out in an episode that, while sure to be somewhat controversial, is full of lots of laughs and a very lively discussion as the hosts break down this movie beat-by-beat! So settle in with your favorite holiday drink beside your lit Christmas tree, relax, enjoy, and get excited! Because, as of tomorrow, we are in the official home stretch of Christmas 2020 and will be breaking open those Advent Calendars!

An aunt taking care of 2 kids and she falls in love with their uncle that isn’t related to her but to the kids? Sounds complicated, right? Well we take a deep-ish dive into this royal gene pool and we tell you what we think. Also, we don’t know how royalty works, so if anyone could help us out, that’d be great.

In the second of my November episodes, I explore and discuss the first festive Only Fools and Horses, the Xmas Radio Times, and the charity super smash Do They Know It’s Xmas by Band Aid.
https://christmaspodcasts.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/merrybritmas.jpg15001500Christmas Podmasterhttps://christmaspodcasts.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/logo4-300x138.pngChristmas Podmaster2020-11-30 07:23:122020-11-30 07:23:12Merry Britsmas Episode 11: Do They Know It’s the Christmas Radio Times?
It’s Episode 18, and this one is actually over an hour long. Who’d have thought we’d have enough exciting stuff to fill an hour? Well we don’t it’s about 3 minutes of gold and the rest is drivel, but don’t let that stop you.
The present suggestion is to adopt an animal on behalf of someone. They’ll get a pack of pictures and stuff and usually you get the change to visit the zoo or sanctuary for free, plus it’s helping a good cause.
Because it’s Christmas, why not adopt a reindeer. Here’s a link to the Cairngorm Reindeer Centre in Scotland: https://www.cairngormreindeer.co.uk/
We have a story of shame that is also a Christmas unsolved mystery.
Then we find out how the boys from Jingle Jank Podcast found out the truth about Santa Claus.
Robin sings that all time Christmas Classic: When Santa Got Stuck Up The Chimney.
Then for a change we feature some great Christmas tunes from some independent artists.
We have songs from Johanna Jones, Sarah Glassman and Rob Vischer. You should definitely give their stuff a listen.
Then it’s the moment you’ve all been waiting for. It’s the return of the Christmas Movie Quiz. This time Sean Sotka from the Christmas Podcasts Podcast tries his hand and I’ve got to say, he does pretty well.
Here’s a link to Sean’s podcast: https://christmaspodcasts.com/series/christmas-podcasts-podcast/
This episode’s Yule Lad is Door Sniffer and it’s not as exciting as it sounds.
The recommendation this week is Weird Christmas with Craig Kringle and if you’ve never listened, you should. Here’s a link: https://weirdchristmas.com/category/podcast/
Then I repeat the offer of a handmade card from our resident artist Robin, all you have to do is record and send us a story.

In this bonus episode, we review the album You’ll Shoot Your Eye Out! by Ralphie’s Red Ryders. All of the songs on this fantastic album are themed on scenes from the movie A Christmas Story and we really geek out about the music and the scenes.
Sup? It’s the final episode of sitcom week, and Chris is back in command to discuss “Comparative Religion” from the first season of the NBC sitcom, Community (available on Netflix and Hulu). This episode encompasses more holidays than just Christmas, which leads to an unexpected discussion about the boys’ rating system and a twist ending none of the hosts saw coming.
Non-Christmas topics include: Confusing Anthony Michael Hall and Michael C. Hall, Jon’s community college experiences, winterdoodles, Jon critiquing Joel McHale’s ability to throw a punch, and checked out professors.
In this episode we celebrate Thanksgiving and Christmas together with a mix of old and new. Thanksgiving — that All-American holiday of festive foods married with historical debates — get a look through the lens of pandemic past.
We explore the Thanksgiving of 1918 and how it was the same and how it was different. This conversation comes as a backdrop to modern-day calls to abolish Thanksgiving by The New York Times and The Atlantic. While we agree some liberties have been taken with the history of Thanksgiving we have to take a real-world look at what Puritans and Native Americans really have to do with the Thanksgiving we really celebrate.
But highlighting this episode even more is the fact that Thanksgiving, as always, sets the Christmas stage and helps build the delicious anticipation we all get in Santa Claus.
Our merry little Thanksgiving Gobble Contest has yielded some festive results that we shared include the laughter of my 5 year old grandson who grabbed the microphone to tell me a Christmas tale that happened in my home just last Christmas. Mind you, I’ve never heard this story before — and it is, as all Santa stories are — a legendary thing.
And that led to the debut of our first edition of our reading of A Visit from St. Nicholas – the Merry Forums sponsored event we call the Twas the Night Before Christmas Read-a-thon.
This is an activity we have talked about for years that we have finally made a reality. And it is a little production sure to produce a smile and loads of Christmas spirit.
We also share some more new music. A new song from Robyn Scott titled I Saw Santa Last Night brings a party feel to this episode.
