The Truth Is: Evil Doesn’t Die. It Changes Shape. (Halloween Ends)

It’s Halloween Week on A Cozy Christmas Podcast, and I’m celebrating by reading another spooky but cozy Victorian Christmas tale. This week, I’m reading “A Strange Christmas Game” by Charlotte Riddell — A brother and sister inherit an old, possibly haunted house whose previous owner met a mysterious end. After several nights of strange noises echoing through the halls, they decide to stay up on Christmas Eve to uncover the truth — and what they discover is most definitely not Santa Claus…

Riddell wrote a perfect blend of cozy fireside storytelling and eerie suspense — the kind of story that will make you want to keep the lights on, but still smile at the warmth of a good old-fashioned ghostly yarn.

So grab a blanket, light a candle, and join me as we celebrate the spooky season, Victorian style! 👻🎄

“A Strange Christmas Game” by Charlotte Riddell | More Christmas Stories for Halloween

A Cozy Christmas'

What’s up, dudes? It’s the most low budget Christmas slasher  ever, and I’ve got Jeff and Jay from Horror for the Holidays with me to talk about it! Yes, we’re diving into 1983’s “Blood Beat!”

Cathy sees visions. She paints what sees in a cabin in rural Wisconsin with her boyfriend Gary. When her son Ted brings his new girlfriend Sarah home for Christmas, strange things begin to happen. Of course, Cathy tells her son she’s seen Sarah before in her psychic visions.

Meanwhile, a glowing blue samurai ghost begins attacking and killing people. The victims include the neighbors, Uncle Pete, and a couple of hunters camping in the woods. It turns out that Sarah is the reincarnation of Cathy’s sister and an old samurai warrior… or something like that. As Sarah becomes the ghost, Ted and his sister Dolly develop their own latent psychic powers to battle the blade-wielding specter!

Was there a script? Kinda. Were there actors? Not really. Were there drugs? Definitely! So don your samurai armor, play monopoly with your sibling, and listen to this episode on “Blood Beat!”

Merry Little Podcast of MyMerryChristmas.com

Thanksgiving and Christmas are the topic of discussion on The Christmas Show of My Merry Christmas. In this segment we explore the Thanksgiving anthem that has become a favored song of Thanksgiving, Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing, which we feature in this episode.

The great and beautiful rendition we share comes from Broken Bow Music.

Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing is a 300-year old song, familiar in the ancient Christian world. The hymn has an amazing backstory that we tell in this episode. Here are the lyrics to this song of Thanksgiving;

1Come, Thou Fount of ev’ry blessing;
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace.
Streams of mercy, never ceasing,
Call for songs of loudest praise.

Teach me some melodious sonnet,
Sung by flaming tongues above.
Praise the mount; I’m fixed upon it:
Mount of Thy redeeming love.

Here I raise my Ebenezer;
Hither by Thy help I’m come.
And I hope, by Thy good pleasure,
Safely to arrive at home.

Jesus sought me when a stranger,
Wand’ring from the fold of God;
He, to rescue me from danger,
Interposed His precious blood.

Oh, to grace how great a debtor
Daily I’m constrained to be!
Let Thy goodness, like a fetter,
Bind my wand’ring heart to Thee.
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
Prone to leave the God I love.
Here’s my heart, O take and seal it;
Seal it for Thy courts above.
