Backstory — Christmas Crackers

They’re the festive party favors containing a paper crown, a trinket, and a joke — and wrapped in a package that goes “bang” when you open it! Christmas Crackers are an invention of the Victorian age. And more specifically, one confectioner named Tom Smith. Smith single handedly created a tradition that has endured for generations.

Robbie Robertson “Christmas Must Be Tonight”

What’s up, dudes? It’s all about Robbie Robertson’s “Christmas Must Be Tonight!” Originally written in 1975 for The Band, Robertson re-recorded it in 1988 for the soundtrack to “Scrooged!” Synth pads? Yep. Reverbed snare? Oh yeah! ’80s awesomeness? Definitely! So grab your chorus guitar pedal, put on “Scrooged,” and jam out to this minisode!

Christmas Alphabet Song

Christmas Alphabet Song of The Christmas Alphabet Podcast.

Christmas Alphabet is about Christmas, all year round, all in alphabetical order.

Every two weeks we looked at Christmas history, stories and music, starting with one letter of the alphabet.  The podcast is written and hosted by Wayne Clarke – an author, broadcaster and Baptist pastor in Manchester, UK.

This episode is a bit different, a special episode for Christmas 2022. It’s all about the song “Christmas Alphabet”, a song that shares a title with this podcast. In this episode we explore the song, then we ask what your “Christmas Alphabet” would be, seventy years on from the song. If you contributed on email or Twitter, maybe you get a mention. Do you agree with our choices?

Musicals, Military Life, and The Cozy Christmas Questionnaire with guest Sarah Joy Kane

Hello friends, today’s episode brings much joy… Sarah Joy Kane is our guest! I catch up with her and find out about the musical she’s in, Scrooge No More, currently showing at Busch Gardens Williamsburg. If you’re able to see her in the performance, tell her I said hello! Then we talk about her life as a military wife and what we can do to help support our troops and their families. And then we get down to the really important questions – which is better Egg Nog or Hot Chocolate? Colored Lights or White lights? SNOW OR SUN? These questions and more are answered in the joyful way that only Sarah can bring.
