Happy Monday, Christmas Fanatics!

Julia, Thom, and Anthony were supposed to record 2025’s “Jingle Bell Heist” this week, but as happens sometimes – especially during this busy time of the year – life got in the way and they couldn’t get their schedules to align.

Not wanting to leave you hanging during the height of the Christmas season, however, please enjoy this very special episode that came together super last minute in which Anthony interviewed two good friends of the show: Brendan Low, of “Real Fans 4 Real Movies” and “Holy Batcast“, and Matt Spaulding of “North Pole Radio” and “Two Broke Geeks“.  Both are professional Santas and both have written and self-published books about Santa Claus (“The Boy Who Became Santa” and “Santa In His Own Words“, respectively) , so they came on to tell their stories, plug their businesses, talk their books, etc.

This is a fun, festive episode you want to be sure not to miss out on! And, like all “Tis the Podcast” episodes, there’s a bit of pop-culture talk thrown in there as well, as the three guys react to the first “Supergirl” trailer. What do they think of the first official look at DC’s follow-up to the smash-hit that was “Superman“? Well, let’s just say, in true “Tis the Podcast” fashion, Anthony is once again a man on an island.

So settle in with your favorite holiday drink beside your Christmas tree, relax, and enjoy! And make sure to follow these gents on social media for a healthy dose of Santa content year-round, as well as nerd content, and purchase their excellent books as well!

As always, thanks for your love and support, y’all! 🎅🏻🎄🎁 🦌🦉⛄️🚂🔔 🤶🏻 🎀 ❄️

What’s up, dudes? Remember the Mickey Mouse Club? What about its late ‘80s revival? Mike Westfall of Advent Calendar House and Tim Babb from Can’t Wait for Christmas are with me to talk “The All New Mickey Mouse Club Christmas Special!”

In this 33rd episode of the 4th season, recurring character Wendy Wallow starts a new job. She’s an elf at Mousey’s Department Store, and she’s wildly inept, constantly upsetting customers. Santa arrives and comforts her, though even he can’t get her a permanent job.

Subsequently, The Party sings “Sugar is Sweet” with panache at a ski resort. Of course, Captain Bringdown invades the Mouse Mail segment and bums everyone out. After Bill Nye the Science Guy takes some Mousketeers to the North Pole to talk about glaciers, Lurleen makes hot mulled cola. She also makes some crafts for the Christmas tree. A ‘90s pop beat Christmas medley rounds out the episode.

Attack of the Space Dreidels? Check. Miracle Kinda Near 34th Street? Got it. Wearable halos? Umm… So grab your sandpaper gingerbread men and hike through Alaska to this episode on “The All New Mickey Mouse Club Christmas Special!”

🎄 It is once again Scrooge Sunday, and the time has come to awkwardly smoosh our spirits through the walls of our bedchamber and float back to 2004 for a special TV movie based on Alan Menken’s musical adaptation of “A Christmas Carol,” starring Kelsey Grammer as Scrooge, Jason Alexander as Marley’s Ghost, Jennifer Love Hewitt as Belle, and Jane Krakowski as the Ghost of Christmas Past.

Michael May and Rob Graham from After Lunch join the celebration of abundance, charity, and good will toward men as we forge this podcast link by link and dumb joke by dumb joke.

📺 You can watch “A Christmas Carol: The Musical” for free on YouTube.

Plus: After this episode, listen to the 3 of us on After Lunch review “A Christmas Carol” on “Shower of Stars” from 1954.

One of my favorite parts of Christmas is the lights! My guest today is new author Makennah Johnston, who has just published a wonderful children’s story called “The McBrights”:

“Every Christmas Eve, the McBrights dazzle from the branches of the Evergreen Tree in Henbrook’s town square, warming hearts with their old-fashioned glow. This year, however, something isn’t quite right. The McBrights are left in their storage box for longer than usual, and when they are finally unpacked, they find themselves for sale at an antique store!

They may be vintage, but their bulbs aren’t burnt out yet. Bernie McBright is determined to get his family shining where they belong. Could the store’s newest visitor be the spark the McBrights need to light up Christmas once more?”

I also recommend another children’s Christmas book called The Candy Cane Forest by Lindsay Ann Fink. It’s a charming and colorful story of how Santa’s elves plant and grow one of my favorite Christmas treats – Candy canes! After that I wrap up with a few thoughts on the lights of Christmas, and what they mean to me.
