Episode 118: Christmas In July – 2024

Welcome to episode 118 of Holly Jolly X’masu! For my fifth annual Christmas in July episode, I’ll once again be covering a mix of tropical, summery, and out-of-season Christmas songs from a variety of artists.

I hope this episode added a little Christmas spirit to your summer. These episodes where I pull songs from a variety of records and CD’s are a lot of work, but they’re also a lot of fun. I cut down on the number of songs this time, mainly so I could stretch out the ones I have left into another two or three episodes. I wish I’d had the foresight to start that with my earlier episodes. Like usual, I’m posting the titles and album covers from this episode below.

1. Mayumi – Merry Christmas In Summer

2. Monday Michiru – Tahitian Xmas

3. Daisuke Kawakami – Summer Day Silhouette

4. Midori Kinouchi – Christmas A Month Late

5. Ayana Taketatsu – Every Day Merry Christmas

6. Tomoko Omoto – Christmas Under A Coconut Tree

7. Modern Choki Chokies – Santa Is Waiting In Town

8. Minoru Komorita – My Neighbor Is Santa Claus

9. Masayoshi Takanaka – Island Christmas Wish

Don’t forget, August is 80s month, so join me next time for a selection of singles and stray tracks from the 1980s. I have a couple slots left, so if you have any 1980s J-X’mas songs you want to hear, let me know. Then join me on the 25th for Yuzoh Kayama’s 1983 album, “White Christmas.” They should both be a lot of fun, so be sure to tune in.

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!

Merry Britsmas 64: Christmas In July and Paradise

It’s Christmas in July! So it’s time for some summery xmas things on Merry Britsmas including some (incredibly vaguely linked) festive songs about sun and summer, as well as a look at Death In Paradise, a show about crime, the Caribbean, and, in this episode, Christmas. I also ask and answer some more festive questions and hope you will answer them too!

The Sunflower Thieves – It’s Not Like The Xmas Films 

The Eves – Xmas In Summertime

Los Bitchos – Los Chrismos 

Leo Sayer – Xmas In July

Whamageddon!

The new season of Twelve Songs starts with an interview with Thomas Mertz, one of the founders of the social media game Whamageddon. To win the game, you must go from December 1 to Christmas without hearing Wham!’s “Last Christmas.” Hear it and you’re out. People play on social media on the honor system, but for Mertz, the fun is in the way the game has created a community.

Since he is in Denmark, he and his friends have a slightly different Christmas canon, and when they started playing almost 20 years ago, “Last Christmas” had the kind of ubiquity in Denmark that “All I Want for Christmas is You” now has in the United States.

We talk about Wham!, “Last Christmas,” social media and Christmas music among other things, and I have scattered versions of “Last Christmas” throughout the episode. Covers are acceptable, so I have saved Wham!’s version to the very end and given listeners fair warning so that if people hear this episode in December, it won’t put them out.

I don’t stop to identify the versions in episode, but this episode’s playlist is (in order):

“Last Christmas” – Carly Rae Jepsen
“Last Christmas” – Lucy Dacus
“Last Christmas” – Cano Caoli
“Last Christmas” – Sweet Crude
“Last Christmas” – Leo Moracchioli
“Last Christmas” – Aloe Blacc
“Jus Det Cool” – MC Einar
“Last Christmas” – Stardeath and the White Dwarfs
“Last Christmas” – Wham!

Treasury of Christmas Recipes from Your Favorite Brand Name Companies (w/ Glen Warren)

What’s up, dudes? Christmas is a time for feasting!  I’ve got Glen Warren from Season’s Eatings here with me to discuss 1989’s The Treasury of Christmas Recipes from Your Favorite Brand Name Companies! What an interesting cookbook from a remarkable era!

The entire project was published by Publications International, Ltd., founded in 1967 by Louis Weber. The company publishes books and educational products in many categories, including virtual reality and other interactive learning experiences, reference, leisure, inspirational, automotive, and sports. The cookbook is divided into 7 sections: 1) Appetizers, Soups & Beverages; 2) Breads & Coffee Cakes; 3) Salads & Side Dishes; 4) Main Dishes; 5) Desserts; 6) Cookies & Candies; and 7) Gifts From The Kitchen.

The recipes are taken from those published by quite a few brand name companies in various magazines. Some of the more notable entries are by Dole, Hershey, Keebler, and Kraft. Quaker Oats and Borden even get in on the action. There are even a few by various associations and boards.

From Cherry Pecan Poundcake to Lemon Broiled Fish, from Ginger Pineapple Mold to Glazed Stuffed Cornish Hens, this book is peak ‘80s food! Many recipes even include adaptations for using a microwave instead of the stove or oven! Oh, the Best Brownies recipe is dynamite!

Cranberry Holiday Ring? Check. Eggnog Pie? Got it. Kahlua Hot Spiced Apple Cider? What in the…? So grab your bread, make some broccoli cheese soup, and bake some artichoke squares to this episode all about the Treasury of Christmas Recipes!

Episode 28: The December Boys (Australia)

Festive Fans Unite! (send us a message)

G’day Mate!  We’re so stoked.  The Festive Fans are firing the barbie today for holiday tucker — heaps of prawns and snags.  We’re putting on some cozies and thongs (well, Mark’s in a budgie smuggler) to enjoy our visit to Straya.

Beware the mozzies because it’s a summer celebration.  We’ll be going off, skulling a few frothies, getting some Macca’s, and making a visit to the “December Boys” out in the woop woop.  This film is a beauty.  Crikey, it’s a bloody good prezzie.  There’s orphans, a sea captain, a stunt motorcyclist, and some sick Sheilas.  It’s just what you want in your festive film and a real cracker.

We learn how to say “Happy Christmas” like the Aboriginal people: Gaadha Gayaa!  Then after brekkie, we’ll spend the arvo at the beach, waiting for Caroling by Candlelight.  We’ll also enjoy the sounds of “How to Make Gravy”, a local tune steeped in the Yule culture Down Under.  You can truly see, feel, and experience this song by Paul Kelly.  He’s a popular fixture of Melbourne folklore and on its music scene.  Dardy!

This is a true Aussie Chrissie and it’s good on ya!

Welcome back, Christmas Cousins, to episode #134!

We’re diving headfirst into the latest Hallmark Christmas in July release, “A Very Vermont Christmas,” and who better to join us than the culinary legend himself, Danny Parinello, the King of Grillin’ (@kingofgrillin_NC2).

This world-renowned expert chef and BBQ master, known for his culinary exploits worldwide, brings a taste of divine cuisine and a personality as vibrant as his flavors.

He’s a rock and roll royalty scion whose food is said to be touched by the hand of God—yes, it’s that good.
In today’s episode, we’re not just serving up movie reviews; we’re grilling Dan on his Hallmark movie experience. Is this his first foray into the sugary world of Hallmark, or is he a seasoned viewer? Did he adore the festive charm, loathe the predictable plot, or feel nothing at all?

And what about our elusive Cousin Seth? Did he even watch the movie, or will he ghost us once again?

Join us for a sizzling review, complete with laughs, tangents, and maybe a few surprises. Grab your spiked eggnog, get comfy, and let’s unwrap “A Very Vermont Christmas” with a side of BBQ wit and wisdom!

Audience Question:

What’s your guilty pleasure Hallmark movie, and why do you love it? Is it the cheesy romance, the over-the-top holiday decor, or something else entirely? Share your favorites, and we might just feature your pick in our next episode!

It’s a Wonderful Tiny Toons Christmas Special

🎄It’s 1992, and there’s no such thing as Buster Bunny.

The Advent Calendar House wraps up Christmas in July with the unofficial series finale of “Tiny Toon Adventures” that sees Buster wishing he’d never been on the show, and the horrors within Montana Max’s Biff Tannen Pleasure Palace or whatever.

****

🎙 Guests:

Adam Pope (Geekster, YouTube, Remember That Show?)

William Bruce West (West Week Ever, Remember That Show?)

Chad Young (The Horror Movie BBQ)

****

💬 Topics & Tangents:

1. I found this special hiding in a 4-hour Christmas special compilation on the Internet Archive.

2. “Meet the Tiny Toons” in the special edition magazine “Bugs Bunny: He’s 50, Folks” (1990).

3. The title card compared to the “It’s a Wonderful Life” opening credits.

4. “The Chipmunks Go to the Movies.”

5. Tony Pope (God) as Goofy in “Watch O ut for Goofy” (the theme song for Adam’s 2 Goofs Podcast) and as the first voice heard in “Back to the Future.”

6. John Kassir (who voices Buster in this episode) as the Crypt-Keeper in RD’s Retro Detention Halloween Specials in 2019 and 2023.

7. Chad realizes in real time that Elmyra Duff is the Tiny Toons derivative of Elmer Fudd.

8. What education level is Acme Looniversity, anyway?

9. Today’s TV Trope: Half-Dressed Cartoon Animal.

10. Jacoby & Meyers and a 2-minute-long tangent about personal injury lawyer commercials.

11. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s upcoming role as Santa in “The Man with the Bag.”

12. American Express Commercials with Mel Blanc and Jim Davis.

13. Bugs Bunny may have been voiced by an uncredited Noel Blanc, Mel’s son, for a single line at the end.

****

Godzilla: The Series Promo (1998)

Toy Story: Holiday TV Spot (1995)
