It’s the big day and you’re wondering what to serve the family. This main dish is popular because of a certain saint, but maybe not the one you’re usually familiar with this time of year. Enjoyed by royalty and common folk alike, this meal was overtaken by the turkey as the bird of choice for the holiday table. From the Middle Ages to Victorian times, we’re exploring the history and origins of the Christmas goose.

Title: Christmas Podding – Have we lost touch with the Heart off Christmas?
Happy Tuesday, Christmas Fanatics! Sorry we’re a day later with this final Pre-Christmas episode of 2022, but better late than never, right?
This week, journey “back to the rock” with Julia, Thom, and Anthony as they cover the brand new Apple TV holiday special, “Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock – Night of the Lights“! We know the elves are enormous fans of The Muppets proper, in addition to Sesame Street, but what do they think of Henson’s Fraggles? You’ll have to tune into this episode to find out! Side note: we’d like to apologize to our good friend Mike Westfall, of “Advent Calendar House Podcast“, for our severe lack of knowledge on this corner of Jim Henson’s universe! We swear, this episode was not designed just to piss you off, even if you may be screaming as you listen to this episode!
Also discussed: Christmas plans, forecasted holiday weather, breakfast foods, and much more! So, don’t miss this fun episode! And make sure to check your feeds on Christmas Eve for your annual night before Christmas story, as read by the elves! Trust us when we say, you won’t want to miss this year’s!
As always, thanks for your love and support, y’all!
