The Strange Adventures of a Wood Sled

In today’s episode I read The Strange Adventures of a Wood Sled by Washington Gladden, talk about my dream of being Santa one day, and give a review on the book The Miracle of Ebenezer Street by Catherine Doyle.

There’s nothing too strange about the adventure or the wood sled in Gladden’s story, but it’s a wonderfully cozy Christmas story that will give you all the Christmas feels. What better way to kick off a Monday?

I’m looking for your Christmas memories – tell me about a time that you met Santa Claus – whether at the mall or by your tree! Send you Christmas memories to cozychristmaspodcast@gmail.com

Episode 43: May J.’s “Christmas Songs”

Welcome to episode 43 of Holly Jolly X’masu! In this episode, I’ll be discussing the 2016 album, “Christmas Songs” by the R&B Pop artist, May J.

When I first started collecting Japanese Christmas music, I didn’t buy much contemporary music. My main focus was the 1960s through 1980s. As I got more, though, and started doing my podcast, I started checking out more recent music. I’ve found some great albums, so I’m glad I expanded my horizons a bit. I’ve mentioned before that, for a while, I relied on some sharing sites to find new music. Part of what intrigued me about May J.’s album was the fact that, not only was it not on any of those sites, but as soon as one site would upload it, it would either be taken down immediately, or the site itself would actually be taken down. I’m guessing the Mouse was the main reason for that, which is why I only include a brief sample of the one song in this episode.

You may have noticed that this episode came out later than I planned, and that I’ve been absent from social media for the most part. Some of that is due to the post-Christmas malaise that normally sets in, but my personal life has also been extremely hectic. I’m hoping to be back on track shortly.

I hope you enjoyed May J.’s album. Join me back here on the 25th as I discuss Chris Hart’s 2015 album, “Christmas Hearts – Winter Gift,” for Black History Month.

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. Any proceeds or donations received will be put towards purchasing 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!

Episode 128: The Muppet Christmas Carol

This week we return to world of Jim Henson with the 1992 holiday classic The Muppet Christmas Carol! You know how this story goes: Ebenezer Scrooge is a miserly old turd who only loves his money. Three spirits show him the error of his ways, yadda yadda yadda Christmas is saved!

But the Muppets put their own unique spin on this tale, with some help from Jaws: The Revenge star Michael Caine! Is it enough to overcome what an often dark and tragic story A Christmas Carol can be? Or do the Muppets take things too far in the sillier direction? Join us as we answer these questions and more!

How About You Forget About ”Perfect” And Instead Embrace Each Day That This Life Grants You? (Zoey’s Extraordinary Christmas)

Happy Monday, Christmas fanatics! And Happy Valentine’s Day!

This week, Julia, Thom, and Anthony dive deep into the 2021, Made-For-TV film, “Zoey’s Extraordinary Christmas” – which served as the series finale for the short-lived television show, “Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist“! This one took all three elves by surprise – not only by being so quirky and witty, but also by the surprisingly powerful way it dealt with the topic of grief against the backdrop of the holidays!

Having never seen the show, however, all three hosts had some questions regarding character history and how exactly Zoey’s powers work! So if you’re a fan of the TV show, fill us in with some context and let us know what you thought of this film, on any of our social media pages, which you can easily access from our new Linktr.ee at the following link: https://linktr.ee/TisThePodcast.com.

So settle in and enjoy this fun episode! Thanks for your love and support, y’all! 🎅🏻🎄🎁 🦌🦉⛄️🚂🔔 🤶🏻 🎀 ❄️

Mike & Molly: First Valentine’s Day

Welcome back! After a short break following Christmas, Matt is back with a special Valentine’s Day episode of the podcast! He is covering Mike & Molly for the first time and this one didn’t end up like he was expecting.

Matt talks about some of the problems with this episode, particularly with the character of Vince, reflects on an adult-only hotel chain that is referenced in the episode and, as always, determine if this should be deemed a holiday classic. Be sure to listen through until the end to hear the upcoming plans for the podcast in 2022 and for those ever-important ‘Ber months!

Episode 49 – What The Dickens?

Great to see you, thanks for tuning in.

First up we have a follow on from last episode’s segment about the German smoker ornaments.  This time we look at the Moosmann from Vogtland and we also have a couple of stories about them.

Then we have a great Story of Shame from L C Newman who tells the tale of how they nearly blew the whole Santa secret by staying up all night drinking and playing with a slot car track.

Then we play one more song from Adam Kennedy and his Creative Commonaires,  This one is called Those High Notes and if you want to listen here’s a link:
https://adamkennedy.bandcamp.com/releases
Adam was on a recent episode of Jingle Jank and he talks about the creative process behind the album.  Check out the episode here:
https://jinglejank.com/episodes.html

Then we have a brand new segment where we have a close look at some of phrases and aspects of A Christmas Carol that may not make sense.  I think you’ll find it interesting, but then what do I know.

This episode’s recommendation is Christmas Alphabet Podcast with Wayne Clarke.  Each episode he takes a new letter and studies all the Christmas related stuff beginning with that letter.  At the time of recording, he’s up to letter F.
Here’s a link:

Rugrats & All Grown Up: The Santa Experience, Babies in Toyland and The Finster That Stole Christmas

“You know Tommy? You were right. Santa isn’t such a bad guy after all.”

Continuing into doing some editorial episodes on Nickelodeon Christmas specials, it’s time to look at the channels… former number one hit, Rugrats. One was made at the begining of the series and the other towards the end.

Oh, and we’ll also look at the All Grown Up special because… I’ll probably never get another chance to talk about it.

What’s Christmas But A Time For Finding Yourself A Day Older And Not A Day Richer? (Scrooge 1970)

Happy Monday, Christmas fanatics! And Happy February! We are that much closer to the Ber Months!

It’s been a minute, but this week, Julia, Thom, and Anthony once again cover an adaptation of Charles Dickens’ iconic tale, “A Christmas Carol“, this time in the form of the 1970 film “Scrooge“, starring Albert Finney and Obi-Wan Kenobi himself, Sir Alec Guinness. Unfortunately, there’s something about this particular telling that doesn’t quite connect with any of the elves. Listen as they dive deep into the choices made in this version of the tale and discuss what worked for them and what didn’t.

In addition, they answer another Question of the Week, this time posed by Mr. Ron Hogan (a.k.a. President Hotdog) of the always incredible “Film Strip Podcast“! He wrote to us asking:

“I associate the movie “Elf” with “Tis The Podcast“. If you could pick a movie for people to associate with the podcast, what would it be besides “Elf” and “Christmas Vacation”?

Let us know your answer to this question on any of our social media pages, which you can easily access from our new Linktr.ee at the following link: https://linktr.ee/TisThePodcast.com.

So settle in and enjoy this fun episode that’s full of passionate opinions and Christmas cheer, and – as always – thanks for your love and support, y’all! 🎅🏻🎄🎁 🦌🦉⛄️🚂🔔 🤶🏻 🎀 ❄️
