Title: CWFC 123 – Advent
This reminds us of when we reviewed a film from Turkey in November, now February is Black History month in the States and we just happen to be covering our first film on the African continent. Today we travel to Lagos, Nigeria for an entertaining Christmas rom com that features all of the classic Hallmark movie tropes – boys meeting and losing girls, misunderstandings, maternal meddling, corporate greed, and a best friend crush. Plus, there is the annual holiday festival that teaches everyone about love, kindness and the meaning of Christmas.
While a seeming cliche, “A Naija Christmas” has a bit more heft. It is festive and heart-warming to watch three brothers compete to fulfill their Mother’s wish to see her sons married. However, the real Christmas present is being introduced to a different, more genuine side of Nigeria. There are no money-seeking Nigerian princes or corrupt warlords here, but three familiar young men who tease, argue, and fight like brothers do, but also look out for and take care of each other. They have their normal struggles at work, with their girlfriends, and taking care of their aging Mama. These are real-life scenarios that all can viewers relate to, butnwe are also treated to the honest cultural issues of class, gender and faith found in Nigeria.
We also explore local customs like Detty December, Christmas rice, and knockouts and fireworks on Christmas Eve. We meet the Nigerian Father Christmas, who gives out his gifts by hand or by throwing them into the air instead of delivering them at night. Last, we enjoy the song “Y’ello Christmas” by Nigerian-born Moelogo because the color yellow in Africa represents happiness, harmony and culture.

Welcome to episode 104 of Holly Jolly X’masu! In this episode, for Black History Month, I talk about the 1993 album, “Merry Christmas Wish,” by the American R&B trio, A.S.A.P.
I hope you enjoyed “Merry Christmas Wish.” I was thrilled when I found it, mainly because of how few English versions there are of these songs I’ve been collecting over the past several years. This is a fun, solid album and it lets me throw some Japanese songs into my regular Christmas playlist without any pushback from my kids, who sometimes get annoyed when they don’t understand the lyrics.
Be sure to join me next month when I cover a pair of albums by jazz singer Akiko for Women’s History Month. Up first is her 2007 album, “A White Album.” Then join me on the 25th for her 2017 release, “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas.” They’re both great albums and you’re sure to like them.
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!

Title: Well, Christmas Is Coming And I Think I Need Your Help. (12 Gifts of Christmas)
What’s up, dudes? Mike Westfall from Advent Calendar House and I take a trip to Emily Bear’s house to visit the Muppets! That’s right! We’re talking the 1987 special “A Muppet Family Christmas”! We get into obscure cameos, Sam Eagle’s one-liners, and more!
Kermit and the gang travel to Fozzie’s mom’s house to surprise her for Christmas. Little do they know that Emily Bear has planned a vacation and has rented her house to Doc and Sprocket as an air BnB. The sheer volume has Doc building bunk beds to accommodate the crowds. Fozzie builds the perfect comedic partner snowman, and the Swedish Chef invites a turkey to stay with them in the hopes of cooking him for dinner. After watching a Muppet Babies home video, Gonzo almost gets into a fight with the lecherous turkey. The Sesame Street crew wassails into the farmhouse, and Kermit and Robin pass it on with the Fraggles. When Piggy is caught in a snowstorm, Doc rides to her rescue! Then the annual carol sing ensues!
A “‘Twas the Night Before Christmas” play? Check. An Electric Mayhem performance? Got it. A two-headed monster Santa? Yes, but only if the other monsters pull the sleigh! So grab some shredded wheat and cranberry sauce and sing along to this episode all about “A Muppet Family Christmas!”

Welcome to episode 103 of Holly Jolly X’masu! In this episode, I talk about the 2009 album, “Acoustic Xmas,” by Coffee Haus.
I hope you enjoyed “Acoustic Xmas” as much as I did. I really like this album and will still play it all the way through when I’m in the mood.
I’m still working to get back on schedule so I haven’t been very active on social media. I’m hoping things settle down in March.
Join me back here on the 25th when, for Black History Month, I’ll be discussing the 1993 album, “Merry Christmas Wish” by the American R&B trio, A.S.A.P. It’s a great album filled with soulful covers, mostly of Japanese Christmas hits, and one you won’t want to miss.
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.

This episode’s version of A Christmas Carol is A Christmas Carol The Musical starring Kelsey Grammar. I really enjoyed it and you can watch it here:
The recommendation is the miniseries Artful Dodger which looks at the life of the Artful Dodger about 15 years after the events of the novel Oliver Twist.
Me and the wife enjoyed it so maybe give it a look.

Welcome back Christmas Cousins! This episode was just too much fun not to share here.
Gerry, the mad genius over at the Totally Rad Christmas Podcast, invited us to be on his show to review the 1987 Hallmark Ornament Dreambook.

This episode is just a good ol’ fashioned fun-fest. Definitely worth a listen…and for all of those who don’t…we might just send you one of those really scary Mime ornaments from page 3. Yikes.
